Before the First Use

Before the first use, please take out all accessories from the package and read this manual carefully. Please pay particular attention to operational instructions and cautions to avoid any injury or property damage. Please wash the inside of the lid and the inner pot with warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe the outer housing with a clean damp cloth. Never immerse the cooker housing in water or any other liquid. The inner pot, sealing ring and exhaust valve and all accessories are dishwasher safe. But never clean the lid and housing in a dishwasher.

Remove and Install the Anti-Block Shield

The anti-block shield can be removed by pushing it on the side to lift it up. To install the anti-block shield, position it in place and press it down.

Remove and Install the Sealing Ring

The sealing ring can be removed by pulling upwards from the sealing ring rack in sections. To install the sealing ring, pressing it down into the rack section by section. The sealing ring can be installed on either side facing up.

Please note the following:

• Prior to each use, inspect to make sure the sealing ring is well seated in the sealing ring rack and the anti-block shield is mounted properly on the steam release pipe.
• After use, remove any foreign objects from the sealing ring and anti-block shield.
• Keep the sealing ring clean to avoid odor. Washing the sealing ring in warm soapy water or dishwater can remove odor. However, it is normal for the sealing ring to absorb the smell of certain acidic foods. That is why it is always a good idea to have more than one sealing ring on hand.
• Never pull the sealing ring by force, as the pulling may cause deformation and affect its function in sealing the pressure.
• A sealing ring with cracks, cuts or other damages should not be used. A new sealing ring replacement should be used.

Safe Lid Opening

1. Make sure the pressure cooking program has completed or press "Cancel" key to terminate the program.
2. Releasing pressure in one of the following approaches.

Quick Release:

• Press the "Steam Release " key on the lid handle to let out steam until the float valve drops down.
  
• Please keep hands and face away from the hole on the top of the exhaust valve when using Quick Release. The escaping steam is very hot and can cause scalding.
• Never pull out the exhaust valve when it is letting out steam.
• Please be aware that Quick Release is not suitable for food in large liquid volume or with high starch content (e.g. porridge, congee, sticky liquids, soup, etc.). Food content may splatter out with steam. Use Nature Release instead.

Nature Release:

• Allow the cooker to cool down naturally until the float valve drops down. This may take 10 to 15 minutes after cooking is finished and the cooker is in Keep-Warm mode.
• Putting a wet towel on the lid can speed up cooling.

3. Open the lid: Hold the lid handle, turn the lid counterclockwise to the open position, and lift the lid up to open.

• 
  Do not open the lid until pressure inside the pot is completely released. As a safety feature, until the float valve drops down, the lid is locked and cannot be opened.
• If the float valve is stuck due to food debris or stickiness, you can push it down with a pen or chopsticks when you are certain the pressure has been released by pressing the "Steam Release" key on the lid handle.

Cooking Preparation

1. Open the lid
   Holding the lid handle with your hand, rotate counter- clockwise approximately 30 degrees until the end.
