WARNING: PLEASE DO NOT DEFEAT THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE BY
FORCING LID OPEN.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
11. Do not open multi-cooker until all internal pressure has been released. Do not force
lid open. Any pressure in the multi-cooker can be hazardous. To release pressure,
move the steam valve to the open position with the help of an utensil (see figure).
This will allow the steam to escape until the pressure safety valve falls so you can
safely open the lid to get the food.
IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE TO USE AN UTENSIL TO OPEN THE STEAM VALVE TO
RELEASE THE STEAM KEEPING YOUR HANDS AND FACE AWAY
FROM IT. ALSO, WHILE COOKING, NEVER PLACE HAND/FACE
DIRECTLY ON THE TOP OF THE STEAM VALVE. HOT STEAM UNDER
PRESSURE WILL ESCAPE FROM THE TOP OF THE VALVE.
FOR BROWNING
The multi-cooker has a browning function, which allows you to sauté/brown the food
before using the pressure-cooking function. This function was designed to cook without
pressure and therefore the unit should not be covered with the lid.
1. Remove lid and place food inside unit.
2. Connect power cord to an electrical outlet and select the browning function.
The multi-cooker will heat up the inner pot and cook/sauté the food inside.
3. This function should be controlled manually. When browning is done, unit should be
stopped by using the Start/Stop Button.
IMPORTANT: For safety, unit will shut off after 30 minutes.
NOTE: Do not use a metal spoon to stir the food inside the inner pot since that might
damage the non-stick coating, which could affect the unit performance in the long term.
