Pressure Cooking Function - Zavor LUX MULTI-COOKER Manuel D'utilisation

Pressure Cooking Function

This function allows food to cook faster under pressure by reducing cooking time
up to 70% compared to traditional cooking methods. Pressure cooking is fast,
easy, safe, and healthy!
1. Before every use, make sure the silicone gasket and the pressure regulating
valves are clean and are placed correctly within the cooker.
2. Plug the cord into a wall outlet. Also, make sure that the cord is properly and
tightly plugged to the unit.
3. Place the removable cooking pot into the cooker, and add the ingredients
following the recipe. When cooking foods under pressure, a minimum of 1 cup
(8 oz.) of liquid is required.
NOTE: Do not fill the pot more than 2/3 full food and liquid. Do not fill the unit
more than ½ full when cooking foods that expand during cooking.
NOTE: The following foods tend to foam, froth and/or sputter: applesauce,
cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal, split peas, noodles/pasta, or rhubarb.
These items may block the pressure valve if filled too high in the removable
cooking pot. Please be sure when pressure cooking these items not to fill the
removable cooking pot more than halfway.
4. Place the lid on the cooker; aligning the protruding pin on the handle with the
unlocked symbol, and turn your lid counterclockwise until it locks into place.
You know when this unit is locked once you hear the pin click into place.
5. Turn the pressure regulator knob to PRESSURE.
6. Choose the desired cooking mode by pressing the PRESSURE COOK button
once for HIGH pressure and twice for LOW pressure.
7. Set the desired cooking time by pressing the + or - buttons once for each
additional minute or to fast advance, hold the button down until you reach the
desired time. The maximum pressure cooking time is 6 hours.
8. To set the delay timer, select the TIME DELAY button and use the + or –
buttons to adjust when cooking should begin. The delay time goes up in 1/2
hour increments.
9. Press the START/STOP button to begin cooking. The indicator light on the
PRESSURE COOK button flashes when the unit has begun to build pressure.
If you forget to select the desired cooking time or forget to press the START/
STOP button, the unit beeps twice and the digital display reads --:-- after 30
seconds.
10. As the pressure is building, the three circles next to the chosen pressure
setting lights up one at a time. The PRESSURE COOK button flashes until the
pressure has built entirely. Once pressure has reached, all three circles turns
solid red, the pressure cooker button indicator light turns solid red, and then
the unit beeps. Then, your cooking time begins.
NOTE: You may adjust the time when the unit is building the pressure or once
the cooking process has started. To change the cooking time, press the + or
- buttons once for each additional minute or to fast advance, hold the button
down until you reach the desired time.

11. The unit then begins to count down in minutes once the appropriate pressure
has reached. The floating valve which is located in the lid rises, when the
pressure has reached.
WARNING: NEVER TRY TO FORCE THE LID OPEN WHILE YOU ARE
COOKING UNDER PRESSURE. CAN RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
WARNING: NEVER DEEP FRY OR PRESSURE FRY IN THE MULTI-COOKER.
IT IS DANGEROUS AND MAY CAUSE A FIRE AND SERIOUS DAMAGE.
12. The cooker beeps once the cooking time ends. It turns the automatic KEEP
WARM function on, and this function blinks until you press the START/STOP
button to cancel the function. After pressing the START/STOP button, release
the pressure. You have two options for releasing the pressure:
a. Quick Release Method: Release the pressure immediately by turning the
pressure regulator knob to STEAM.
CAUTION: THE STEAM COMING OUT OF THE COOKER IS HOT, AND
MIGHT CONTAIN DROPLETS OF HOT LIQUID. ALWAYS TURN THE JET
OF STEAM AWAY FROM YOUR FACE AND HANDS. BE SURE TO USE
POT HOLDERS WHEN RELEASING PRESSURE.
b. Natural Release Method: Allows the pressure to drop naturally without
turning the pressure regulator knob to STEAM. Natural Release Method
takes several minutes, during which the food inside continues cooking.
Some recipes (such as risotto) benefit from this extra cooking time. You
know when the pressure has released because the floating valve drops,
and then you can open the lid.
NOTE: If you do not press the START/STOP button at the end of the cooking
time, the multi-cooker switches to KEEP WARM and beeps periodically to remind
you that cooking has ended.
13. Once all the pressure is released, remove the lid by turning it clockwise, lifting
and tilting the lid away from you to avoid being scalded by some remaining
steam or hot water condensation dripping from the inner portion of the lid.
WARNING: AFTER COOKING, THE REMOVABLE COOKING POT IS HOT. USE
POT HOLDERS TO HANDLE IT OR LET IT COOL DOWN BEFORE REMOVING.
