OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4/5 RULE:
NEVER fill a pressure cooker more than 4/5 full with food. Also,
don't pack food tightly into a pressure cooker. These practices may cause
the pressure cooker to not operate correctly and it will affect the outcome of
your food.
IMPORTANT: Before you start select the BLACK LIMITING PRESSURE VALVE for
all usage unless you are located at altitudes above 1,000 feet above sea level. At
altitudes higher than 1,000 feet above sea level always use the GREEN LIMITING
PRESSURE VALVE. Avoid using metal utensils on the INNER POT, as you may
damage the non-stick surface.

safe canning guidelines.
PRESSURE COOKING
Pressure cooking is an easy way to seal in the flavor and nutrition of your favorite foods. You
can cook single foods like corn on the cob or rice, or an entire pot roast dinner.
1.
Press the "PRESSURE COOK" function button on the front
control panel.
2.
Add the ingredients from your favorite recipe.
3.
Close the LID, turn the LID about an 1/8 turn counter clockwise
into the "Closed-Lid" position. Set the PRESSURE LIMITING
VALVE to the "AIRTIGHT" position.
4.
Press the TIME (+) to set time for what recipe calls for.
5.
Press START to start the process. The display will circle until the
internal pressure is reached. You may notice some clicks as
the unit heats up, this is normal. Once the internal pressure is
reached, the "Cooking Time" will start counting down to "000"
and beep 3 times.
6.
CAREFULLY move the PRESSURE LIMITING VALVE to the
EXHAUST position. A large amount of steam will be released
from the PRESSURE LIMITING VALVE, so make sure to keep your
face, body and fingers away from the steam.
7.
Once the steam has been released, turn the LID HANDLE an 1/8
turn clockwise and open the LID.
