the upper edge of the cooker is approximately 10cm. This is to ensure smooth movement
when turning and installing the lid.

PREPARING YOUR PRESSURE COOKER

1. To open the lid, hold the Handle (1) and turn it in a clockwise direction until you reach the
Opened Lid position. Then pull upwards to vertical position (Figure 14 & 15).
2. Remove the inner pot (8) and place desired food and liquids into the pot. The amount of
water and food should not exceed 3/4 of the height of the inner Pot (Figure 17.) For food
that will expand in water, the level should not exceed 3/5 of the Inner Pot (Figure 17). The
minimum level for cooking would be 1/5 of the Inner Pot (Figure 18).
•
When cooking rice, the maximum amount of rice allowed for this 8 quart pressure
cooker is 16 cups of uncooked rice.
•
Normally one cup of rice requires one cup of water.
This may vary according to taste.
3. Be certain the inner receptacle, where the Electronic Heater
is located, is clean before inserting the inner pot. Place the
inner pot into the pressure cooker and adjust the pot left
and right to ensure optimal contact between the Inner Pot
and the Electronic Heater. (Figure 19)
