TIP: If you cannot adjust the PRESSURE COOK TIME, it is because too much time
has passed since you first pressed the PRESSURE COOK TIME button. Cancel the
cooking process and start over.
2. The indicator light will blink five times and the unit will begin heating.
3. Follow steps 3-5 from page12.
Auto-Keep Warm Feature
When cooking has completed, the pressure cooker will beep 3-times and automatically
go to KEEP WARM. The KEEP WARM indicator light will illuminate and the display will
show bb.
NOTE: The KEEP WARM setting should not be used for more than 4 hours. The quality
and texture of food will begin to change after 1 hour on KEEP WARM. A bit of
condensation in the upper ring during KEEP WARM is normal. To set the cooker to KEEP
WARM, press the KEEP WARM/CANCEL button until the display shows bb.
To Reset or Cancel
User can reset or cancel any function at anytime by pressing the KEEP WARM/CANCEL
button until the display shows 00 00.
Removing Lid after Pressure Cooking
When pressure cooking cycle has completed, the unit will automatically switch to KEEP
WARM. At this point you may release pressure in one of two ways - Natural Pressure
Release or Quick Pressure Release.
1. Natural Release: Following pressure cooking, allow the unit to remain on KEEP
WARM. The pressure will begin to drop - time for pressure to drop depends on the
amount of liquid in the cooker and the length of time that pressure was maintained.
Natural Release can take from 15 to 30 minutes.
During this time cooking continues so it is recommended for certain cuts of meats,
soups, rice, and some desserts. When pressure has fully released, the Red Float
Valve (4) will drop and the lid will unlock to open.
As a safety feature, the lid will not open unless all pressure is released. Do not force
the lid open. If the lid feels tight, please allow additional time for pressure to fully
release before attempting to open the lid.
2. Quick Release (recommended for foods that should be Medium or Medium-Rare):
Following pressure cooking the cooker will beep 3 times and go to KEEP WARM.
Press the KEEP WARM/CANCEL button and the display will show 00 00. Using an
oven mitt or long utensil, carefully turn the Pressure Limiting Valve (3) to the
“Exhaust” position to release pressure until the Red Float Valve (4) sinks (Figure 16).
CAUTION HOT STEAM – RISK OF SCALDING: USE TONGS OR LONG UTENSIL TO
TURN THE VALVE. KEEP HANDS AND FACE AWAY FROM PRESSURE LIMITING
VALVE (3) WHILE IN THE EXHAUST POSITION. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY CAUSE
SERIOUS INJURY (Figures 17-18) DO NOT RELEASE PRESSURE UNDER HANGING
CABINETS WHICH CAN BE DAMAGED BY STEAM.
Always use an oven mitt to reduce risk of injury. Failure to comply may cause
serious injury.
To avoid liquid splatter, do not use Quick Release for foods with a high volume
of liquid (Stews, soups, porridges, etc.).
