Getting Started

Read the safety instructions found in this manual before plugging in and operating.

Before using the cooker for the first time, follow these steps:

1. Remove all packing materials and literature from within the cooker. Lift the

inner cooking pot and remove any pieces of paper from under it. Remove

the plastic protection from the control panel and any stickers from the lid or

stainless steel housing.

2. Wash all removable parts in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry all parts

thoroughly. Wipe the stainless steel outer housing with a clean damp cloth.

NEVER submerge the stainless steel outer housing in water or any other

liquid. Only the removable cooking pot is dishwasher safe.

3. Make sure the silicone gasket is seated properly inside the lid. To make sure

it has been fitted correctly, fill the removable cooking pot with water up to

two thirds full, and cook on HIGH PRESSURE for 15 minutes. Release the

pressure by turning the pressure regulator knob to STEAM. The steam is

released and the floating valve will drop. If steam is not being released, the

gasket probably hasn't been fitted correctly and the cooker hasn't built up any

pressure: re-adjust the gasket to make sure it is fitted properly, and repeat this

step.

4. Let the appliance cool to room temperature and then empty and clean.
