d. If you wish to use the delay timer function, press the Delay Timer Button to adjust
to your desired delayed start time. Please note that the delay timer can only be set
for up to 2 hours and in intervals of 30 minutes. The LED Display will show the sum
of the selected delay time and the pressure-cooking time. For example, if the
selected function is Chicken at the minimum cooking level (pressure cooking time of
12 minutes), and the delay time chosen is 1:00 hour, the LED Display will show 1:12.
e. To start cooking, press the Start/Stop Button.
i.If no delay time has been set, the multi-cooker will automatically add 14 minutes
of pre-heating time to the pressure-cooking time of the selected program.
For example, if the selected function is Chicken at the minimum cooking level
(pressure-cooking time of 12 minutes), the LED Display will show 26 minutes
(14 minutes for pre-heating + 12 minutes for pressure cooking). Once the
Start/Stop Button is pressed, unit will start pre-heating at once and the Red
Cooking Indicator Light will start blinking. The Red Cooking Indicator Light will
continue blinking while the unit is in the pre-heating mode and the LED Display will
start counting down the first 14 minutes. Once the pre-heating is completed and the
unit starts pressure-cooking, the Red Cooking Light will turn on solid and the LED
Display will continue counting down the pressure-cooking time of the selected
program. When the count down time is over at "0:00", the multi-cooker will stop
cooking and it will automatically change to the keep warm mode. The Red Cooking
Indicator Light will turn off and the Green Keep Warm Indicator Light will light up.
NOTE: 14 minutes is an average pre-heat time. If food is larger or really cold,
pre-heat may take slighty longer.
ii.If the delay timer has been set, the LED Display will start counting down the
total time (selected delay time + pre-heat time + pressure-cooking time for the
selected program). The Delay Timer Indicator Light will light up. Once the count
down on the delay timer is completed, the Delay Timer Indicator Light will go off
and the unit will start pre-heating. The Red Cooking Indicator Light will start
blinking. When pre-heating is complete, pressure-cooking will start and the Red
Cooking Indicator Light will remain on (solid). Once pressure-cooking is
completed, the LED Display will show "0:00", the Red Cooking Indicator Light will
turn off and the Green Keep Warm Light will light up.
NOTE: At any time, press the Start/Stop Button once if you desire to interrupt the
pre-cooking or pressure-cooking process.
2. Please note that air pressure will be generated inside the multi-cooker and therefore,
the Safety Pressure Valve will rise and lock the lid. This is an important safety feature
to avoid the unit from being opened while there is pressure inside.
WARNING: PLEASE DO NOT DEFEAT THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE BY
FORCING LID OPEN.
3. Make sure Steam Valve is placed correctly in its place, otherwise the steam inside the
unit will escape during operation and the multi-cooker will not work properly.
4. If multi-cooker does not pressurize after 60 minutes from the time it starts heating, e.g.
if the unit is not covered, the multi-cooker will warn with a continuous beeping sound
until the Start/Stop Button is pressed.
5. When in the keep warm stage, if you don't need to keep the food warm, pull the plug
from the electrical outlet to turn off the unit completely.
