HOW TO USE YOUR PRESSURE COOKER (cont.)
NOTES & TIPS #7:
•
It is recommended to release the pressurized steam when the "Keep Warm" LED
stops flickering as the pressure cooker will have lower pressure. This will require a
little more time. (Approximately 5-10 minutes).
•
During the cooking process, when the pressure cooker enters into the Pressurized
Sequence, the first digit on the LCD screen will display the letter "P". At the same
time, the power supply to the Heating Element will shut off, but the Keep Warm LED
light will light up without flickering.
•
For foods with a high volume of liquid (Stews, soups, porridges, etc.) IT IS NOT
RECOMMENDED TO USE QUICK RELEASE. This is to avoid liquid splatter from the
ventilation in the Pressure Limiting Valve.
•
Use the NATURAL RELEASE: User should wait for the temperature to drop and the
Float Valve to sink on its own prior to opening the lid.
*CAUTION: It is not recommended to use the Delay Timer function to cook foods that
may spoil. Leaving raw foods inside the pressure cooker for long periods of time
prior to cooking may result in the food spoiling. Cook food that can be left out such
as rice, beans, grains or other foods that will not spoil.
HOW TO USE THE

2. Select the "Saute" button, the light will begin to flicker, the display will show"0000", then
press the Start button to manually begin the heating process. (Please note that the Saute
function does NOT work in conjunction with the delay timer nor does it have a default
cooking time, you must watch over the food until it reaches desired consistency and press
the Cancel button to stop the "Saute" function).
3. Put food into the Inner Pot and cook to brown or sauté to desired consistency.
4. When ready to start the pressurized cooking cycle: Press "Cancel" button to cancel the
browning/sautéing process.
5. Close the lid and secure properly.
6. Follow the instructions on cooking to your preference.
HOW TO USE THE
Food can be prepared at an earlier time and kept warm inside the pressure cooker using the Keep
Warm function. Food can be kept warm for up to 4-hours. Additional time may cause a change in
flavor, appearance and cause food to spoil.
1) Prepare desired food and place into inner pot.
2) Secure the lid onto the unit and turn it Counter-clockwise to lock it in place properly.
3) It is recommended to set the Pressure Limiting Valve to "Exhaust" at this time since you
are only keeping food warm and not pressurizing.
