E BUTTON:
Setting your own cook time is ideal for cooking meat or poultry that weighs more than 3-
pounds. It is also suggested for slow-cooking certain recipes that require cooking for
more than 30-minutes. The programmed cook time can be set up to 60-minutes.
The PRESSURE COOK TIME button is used in combination with the MENU BUTTONS.
TIP: Check the chart on page 12 for the "COOKING TIME RANGE" for each MENU
BUTTON.
1. Prepare desired food and place into cooking pot.
2. Secure the Lid (2) onto the unit, turn it counter-clockwise to lock into place.
3. Set the Pressure Limiting Valve (3) to the “Airtight” position.
4. Plug the power cord into a 120V outlet.
5. The LED screen will display: 0000.
6. Press a MENU BUTTON and then quickly press the PRESSURE COOK TIME BUTTON to
adjust the cooking time. Each incremental press of the button increases the cooking
time by 1 minute. Hold the button down for rapid increase of cooking time.
Example 1: If you first press BEANS and then quickly press the PRESSURE COOK
TIME button, you will be able to set the cook time between 20 – 60 minutes.
Example 2: If you first press FISH/VEGETABLES and then quickly press the
PRESSURE COOK TIME BUTTON, you will be able to set the cook time between 1
– 20 minutes.
7. Press the PRESSURE COOK TIME BUTTON past the maximum time allowed to start
over at the beginning of the " COOKING TIME RANGE " for each MENU BUTTON.
TIP: If you cannot adjust the PRESSURE COOK TIME, it is because too much time
has passed since you first pressed the MENU BUTTON. Cancel the cooking
process. Press desired MENU BUTTON and then quickly press the PRESSURE
COOK TIME BUTTON continuously until you've reached the desired cook time.
8. There is no need to press any other button.
9. The Indicator Light will blink five times and then illuminate solid when it begins
operation.
10. When proper pressure is achieved, the display will show the desired cook time and
the cooking time will begin counting down.
11. When cooking has completed, the pressure cooker will beep and automatically go
to KEEP WARM. The display will show bb during KEEP WARM.
12. The KEEP WARM indicator light will illuminate and the Pressure Cooker will begin
naturally releasing the pressure. (See Notes & Tips #6). This will take approximately
10-15 minutes.
