4. Add 3 measuring cups of water to the inner pot (~ 25 fl oz / 750 mL).
5. Plug-in the cooker. Rotate the central dial to Steam, set cooking time to 2 minutes. See diagram below.
• Inner pot should not be more than 2/3 full. For food that expands during cooking such as rice or dried vegetables, inner pot should not be more than 1/2
full. Please note that certain foods such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or other cereals, split peas, noodles, pasta and rhubarb can
foam, th or sputter and can clog the steam release valve.
• Make sure the steam release valve, float valve and anti-block shield are clean and free from debris.
6. Depending on the amount of food and its temperatureTthe preheating cycle can last from 10 to 40 minutes. As the cooker heats up and pressure builds,
the float valve will rise. When working pressure is reached, the cooker enters the cooking cycle and the LCD displays the remaining cooking time.
7. When cooking is finished, the cooker will either be in Keep Warm mode or in standby mode displaying OFF.
8. Release pressure using one of the following methods (refer to recipe):
Natural Release: Allow the cooker to cool down naturally until the float valve drops down. This may take 10 to 40 minutes, or even more, depending on
the amount of food in the cooker. Place a wet towel on the metal part of lid to speed up cooling (do not cover the steam release valve).
Quick Release: Press the quick release button until it clicks into the Venting position. Let steam out until the float valve drops down. Never pull out the
steam release valve while releasing steam as escaping steam is extremely hot and can cause scalds. For food with large liquid volume or starch content,
use Natural Release instead as thick liquid may splatter.
Turn the lid counterclockwise and lift. Make sure the float valve is down before
opening the lid.
