How to Operate the Electric Pressure Cooker Plus

This program will allow you to cook meals under pressure in less time, as cooking
time is reduced up to 70% compared to traditional cooking methods.
Pressure Cooking is Fast, Easy, Healthy!
1. Before every use, make sure the silicone gasket and the pressure regulating
valves are clean and in place.
2. Plug the cord into a wall outlet.
3. Position the removable cooking pot in the Electric Pressure Cooker Plus, and
add the ingredients noted in the recipe. When cooking foods under pressure,
a minimum of 1 cup (8 oz) of liquid is required.
SAFETY NOTES:
• Do not fill the pot more than 2/3 full with food and liquid. Do not fill the unit
more than ½ full when cooking foods that expand during cooking.
• The following foods should not be cooked under pressure: applesauce,
cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal, split peas, noodles, pasta or rhubarb.
These foods tend to foam, froth and sputter, and may block the pressure
valve.
4. Place the lid on the Electric Pressure Cooker Plus; align the protruding part of
the handle with the condensation collector, and turn it counterclockwise until
it locks into place. The locking pin will click into place.
5. Turn the pressure regulator knob to PRESSURE.
6. Choose the desired cooking mode by pressing either the HIGH or LOW
pressure button on the control panel. The light on the HIGH/LOW button will
flash and the digital display will show 1. This equals 1-minute cooking time.
7. Set the desired time by pressing the high or low button once for each
additional minute or by continuously holding the button down. The longest
cooking time is 99 minutes.
8. Press the START/STOP button to begin cooking. The indicator light will stop
flashing. If you forget to select a desired cooking time or forget to press the
START/STOP button, the digital display will read 0.0 after 30 seconds.
9. The unit will begin to count down in minutes once the appropriate pressure
has been reached. The floating valve will rise when the pressure is reached.
