Pressure Cooking Program
This program will allow 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 properly placed within the cooker.
2. Plug the cord into a wall outlet.
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 with 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 to not fill the
removable cooking pot more than half way.
4. Place the lid on the cooker; aligning the protruding pin on the handle with
the condensation cup that shows the unlocked symbol, and turn your lid
counterclockwise until it locks into place. You will know when this unit has
been 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 99 minutes.
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 will flash when the unit has begun to build pressure.
If you forget to select a desired cooking time or forget to press the START/
STOP button, the unit will beep twice and the digital display will read --:--
after 30 seconds.
10. As the pressure is building, the three circles next to the chosen pressure
setting will light up one at a time. The PRESSURE COOK button will also flash
until it has reached full pressure. Once pressure has been reached, all three
circles will turn solid red, the pressure cooker button indicator light will also
turn solid red and then the unit will beep. This is when your cook time begins.
11. The unit will then begin to count down in minutes once the appropriate
pressure has been reached. The floating valve which is located in the lid will
also rise when pressure has been reached.
