INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
COOKING POT MARKINGS
Inside the removable cooking pot are two sets of markings. One side is marked "2/3 MAX
PRESSURE COOK", which indicates the maximum fill line when cooking any food, other
than rice in the pressure cooker. The other marking is MAX RICE CUP and is used when
cooking rice. When pressure cooking rice, never fill the pressure cooker with water past
the 4 cup marking.
1. Open lid, remove cooking pot from pressure cooker and
add food and liquids as the recipe directs.
NOTE: The total volume of food and liquid must not
exceed 2/3 of the capacity of the cooking pot (Figure
11). For foods such as dried vegetables and beans, or
rice and grains, the total volume must not exceed 1/2
the capacity (Figure 12). Overfilling may clog the
pressure limit valve, which can cause excess pressure to
develop. Always use at least ½ cup liquid when
pressure cooking.
WARNING: To avoid a serious burn injury when cooking
foods other than rice, never exceed the 2/3 MAX
PRESSURE COOK mark of the combined volume of
liquids and solids.
2. Be certain the inner receptacle, where the heating plate
(14) is located, is clean and dry before inserting the
Inner Pot (6) into the pressure cooker and adjust the pot
left and right to ensure optimal contact between the
Inner Pot and the heating plate (14) (Figure 13).
3. Close and "LOCK" the lid.
4. Adjust the Pressure Limiting Valve (3) to the “Airtight”
position , and ensure that the Red Float Valve (4) sinks.
5. When adjusting the Pressure Limiting Valve (3) to either
the "Airtight" or the "Exhaust" positions, line up the
marking on the Pressure Limiting Valve (3) with the
arrow on the Handle (1) as shown in Figures 14 and 15.
6. Plug the power cord into the pressure cooker and then
into the wall outlet. The LED display will show 00 00.
