Page 5: Preparing Your Pressure Cooker
PREPARING YOUR PRESSURE COOKER: • Remove all packing material such as cardboard, plastics, Styrofoam and literature. • Clean all parts by wiping with a soft, damp cloth or sponge and dry thoroughly. 1) Opening the lid: Hold the handle firmly and turn the lid clockwise until it loosens. 2) Remove the inner tank and wash with soap and water.
Page 6: Using The Menu Select Buttons
USING THE MENU SELECT BUTTONS: There are 5 Menu Buttons that are pre-programmed. They are BEANS, CHICKEN, RICE, MEAT, and SOUP. The default times are preset for quick and easy cooking for small portions of food. (When cooking food that is more than 3 lbs or more than 6-cups, use the Timed Cooking function). Each of these choices is programmed to detect the weight of food being cooked and how much liquid is inside the pot during the cooking cycle.
Page 7 Note: Optional feature includes DELAY TIMER. If you want to start the cooking process for a later time, press “TIMER” button once for every half hour (up to a maximum of 9 hours). 6) Select the desired Menu Button (BEANS, CHICKEN, RICE, MEAT, SOUP). Press the Menu Button once, the indicator light will illuminate and the default cooking time (as seen in above chart) will be displayed.
Page 8: Cleaning And Maintenance
NOTE: For foods with a high volume of liquid (Stews, soups, etc.) IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO USE QUICK RELEASE. This is to avoid liquid splatter from the ventilation in the Pressure Release Valve. • Natural Release is recommended when cooking foods that will not have the tendency to overcook such as Potatoes, Beans, Soups etc.
Page 9: Cooking Tips
COOKING TIPS Meat/Chicken Always cook meat or poultry with at least 1-3 cups of liquid. If the cooking time exceeds 15 minutes, use 2 cups of liquid. If weight of meat or poultry is 3lbs, use 3 cups of liquid. Preserved or salted meats should be immersed in water.
Page 10 CAUTION 1.) Never use the pressure cooker along with flammable products or in a humid location. 2.) The amount of water added to the inner tank should be determined in line with step 2 of operation. 3.) Never damage the sealant washer or replace it with other rubber washer or tension washer. 4.) Never twist the inner steel ring with hand or other tools.
Page 11: Frequently Asked Questions
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS When I set the pressure cooker using the Manual Pressure Cooking time OR the Preset Menu Buttons, it will begin to build pressure heat up, but in about 5-minutes the unit beeps 3 times and goes to Keep Warm and my food did not cook completely. What is happening? The unit is sensing that there is a leak in the pressure and that it is not sealed up properly.
