NOTE: If you forget to press the START/STOP button, the unit will beep
twice after 30 seconds, the light on the screen will turn off and the unit will
return to standby mode.
9. Once pressure has been reached, the unit will beep, the cooking icon will
appear at the bottom of the screen and it will start to count down. This is
when your cooking time begins. The floating valve located in the lid will
rise, indicating that there is pressure inside the unit.
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.
10. 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.
11. 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
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 risotto) 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.
12. 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.
