Get started
Initial test run (water test)
Do you have to do the water test? No — but getting to know the ins and outs of your Duo
prepares you for success in the kitchen! Take a few minutes to get to know how this baby works.
Stage 1: Setting up the Duo for pressure
cooking
01 Remove the inner pot from the
multicooker base and add 750 mL of
water to the inner pot, then place it
back inside the multicooker base.
02 Secure the power lead to the base
power socket at the back of the
multicooker base. Make sure the
connection is tight.
Connect the power lead to
a 220–240V power source.
The display shows OFF.
03 Place and close the lid as described
in Pressure control features: Pressure
cooking lid.
04 Turn the steam release handle to the
Sealing position.
Stage 2: "Cooking" (...hot water à la king,
anyone?)
01 Select Pressure Cook.
02 Use the − / + buttons to adjust the
cooking time to 5 minutes (00:05).
Adjustments are saved when a Smart
Programme starts, so the next time you
use Pressure Cook, it will default to
5 minutes.
03 Press Keep Warm to turn the
automatic Keep Warm setting off.
04 The multicooker beeps after 10 seconds
and the display shows On.
While the multicooker does its thing,
read Pressure cooking 101 on
the next page to nd out how
the magic happens.
05 When the Smart Programme is
complete, the display shows End.
Stage 3: Releasing pressure
01 Follow instructions for a Quick Release in
Releasing pressure: Venting methods.
02 Wait for the oat valve to drop,
then carefully open and remove the
lid as described in Pressure control
features: Pressure cooking lid.
03 Using proper hand protection, remove
the inner pot from the multicooker
base, discard the water and thoroughly
dry the inner pot.
That's it! You're good to go :)
CAUTION
Pressurised steam is released through the top of the steam release handle. Keep
exposed skin away from the steam release handle.
CAUTION
The inner pot will be hot after cooking. Always use appropriate heat protection when
handling a hot inner pot.
DANGER
DO NOT attempt to remove the lid while the oat valve is up and NEVER
attempt to force the lid open. Contents are under extreme pressure. Float
valve must be down before attempting to remove the lid. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.
