Stage 1: Setting up the Duo for pressure
cooking
01 Remove the inner pot from the
multicooker base.
Add food and liquid ingredients to the
inner pot, as directed by your recipe.
Use the steam rack to keep foods out
of the cooking liquid. This helps to
distribute heat, prevents nutrients from
leeching into the cooking liquid and
stops food items from sticking to the
bottom of the inner pot.
Insert the inner pot back into 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: Pressure cooking
01 Select the Smart Programme you
want to use.
02 Press the same Smart Programme button
again to cycle through the pre-set time
options in Less, Normal and More.
03 Use the − / + buttons to adjust the
cooking time.
Adjustments are saved to the Smart
Programme when cooking begins.
04 Press Pressure Level to toggle between
Low Pressure and High Pressure.
05 Leave the automatic Keep Warm setting
on, or press Keep Warm to turn it off.
06 The multicooker beeps after 10 seconds
