COOKING TIPS
Pressure Cooker Safety Precautions
• Always use caution when moving the steam release handle to the venting
position after cooking. Keep your hands, face, and skin away from the steam
release valve to avoid the risk of burns.
• Wait until the pressure inside the appliance is completely released before
you open the lid. The lid will remain locked until the float valve drops, and
the red button will not be able to be pushed. Never force the lid to open.
• The inner pot may stick to the lid when the lid is opened. This will happen
when a vacuum seal has formed. To release the seal, turn the steam release
handle to the venting position.
• If the float valve becomes stuck, turn the steam release handle to the
venting position. After the steam has been released, push down the float
valve using a utensil since it may be hot.
NOTE: See the “Safety Instructions” section on page 2 for more information on
safety precautions to observe.
How to Use Liquids in the Pressure Cooker
• Always add a minimum of 1 cup of water or other liquid to produce sufficient
steam to cook under pressure. In addition to water, you can use liquids such
as stock, juice, sauce, beer, or wine. Be aware that oils and oil-based sauces
do not contain a high enough water content, and therefore they do not fulfill
the minimum amount of liquid that is required for cooking.
Setting the Pressure Cooker Time
• Cooking time and pressurizing time will vary depending on the temperature
you are using as well as the ingredients. If food is cold or frozen, it will take
longer to cook.
• Do not use the Delay Start function for foods such as oatmeal, porridge, or
other thick liquids because they may clog the steam valves. These types of
foods should be monitored while they are cooking.
Air Fryer Safety Precautions
• Be careful when removing the air fryer unit after cooking. It will be hot.
• Do not overfill the air fryer unit; doing so can interfere with the fan.
