5.
Turn the dial until the GRAINS function is selected (the words will blink)
and confirm it by pressing the dial. The screen will show the settings
for this function to the right. In addition to the settings, there is also a
CUSTOM setting. For instruction on how to use the CUSTOM setting, see
page 8.
NOTE:
To go back to the main menu screen, press MENU.
6.
Choose your desired setting by turning the dial. Press the dial to select
the setting. The preset pressure level (High or Low) and cooking time will
appear at the top of the screen (excluding White Rice).
If you wish to adjust those settings, turn the dial to select the pressure level
(High or Low) and then press the dial or the ADJUST button to confirm
it. The cooking time will then start blinking to show it can be adjusted.
Change the time by turning the dial and set your time by pressing the
START/STOP button.
NOTE:
Pressing the ADJUST button will only switch the programming option
between pressure level and cooking time.
7.
After you press the START/STOP button, the screen will turn green and
it will display the programmed setting and time at the top. You will also
see the preheat icon on the bottom of the screen and the preheating bar
which will show you how far along in the preheating process the unit is.
NOTE:
If you forget to press the START/STOP button, the unit will beep, the
cooking icon will appear at the bottom of the screen twice after 30 seconds,
the light on the screen will turn off and the unit will return to standby mode.
8.
Once pressure has been reached, the unit will beep and it will start to
count down your cooking time. The floating valve located on the lid will
rise indicating that there is pressure inside the unit.
NOTE:
When using the White Rice setting, only the outer display lines will
show once temperature has been reached. There is no preset cooking time
for this setting as the unit itself will detect the water levels in the unit and beep
once the rice has been properly steamed. The cooking time will depend on
how much rice you are cooking.
WARNING: NEVER TRY TO FORCE THE LID OPEN WHILE YOU ARE
COOKING UNDER PRESSURE, THIS 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.
9.
When the cooking time ends, the unit will beep and switch to the KEEP
WARM function. The unit will beep periodically to let you know that there
is pressure inside the unit. Once you release the pressure, the unit will
stop beeping and will remain on the KEEP WARM function. Press the
START/STOP button to cancel the program.
10. After the cooking time is up, 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 WILL BE HOT,
AND MIGHT CONTAIN DROPLETS OF HOT LIQUID. BE SURE TO USE
30
POT HOLDERS, OVEN MITTS OR A KITCHEN TOWEL WHEN RELEASING
PRESSURE.
b. Natural Release Method: Release the pressure by shutting the unit
off completely. This allows the pressure to drop naturally without turning
the pressure regulator knob to STEAM. This will take several minutes,
during which the food inside will continue cooking. Some recipes (such
as quinoa) benefit from this extra cooking time. You will know when the
pressure has been released because the floating valve will drop and you
will be able to open the lid.
11. Once all the pressure is released, remove the lid by turning it clockwise,
lifting it up and tilting it away from yourself to avoid getting burnt by
any remaining steam or hot water condensation dripping from the inner
portion of the lid.
WARNING: AFTER COOKING, THE REMOVABLE COOKING POT WILL
BE HOT. USE POT HOLDERS, OVEN MITTS OR A KITCHEN TOWEL TO
HANDLE IT OR LET IT COOL DOWN BEFORE REMOVING.
