BEFORE THE FIRST USE
Before first use, please take out all accessories from the
package and read this manual carefully. Pay attention to the
operational instructions to avoid any injury or property dam-
age. Please wash the inside of the lid and inner pot with warm
soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe the outer housing
with a clean damp cloth. Never immerse the appliance housing
in water or any other liquid. The inner pot, sealing ring, steam
release handle and all accessories are dishwasher safe. But
never clean the lid and housing in a dishwasher.
Take out the inner pot and pour food and water into it. Note
that the total volume of the food and water must not exceed
the height of the inner pot (80% or 4/5), food that expands with
cooking must not exceed the height of the inner pot (60% or
3/5), food and water must not be under the height of inner pot
(20% or 1/5). (See picture 3, 4 & 5)
The maximum rice capacity for the 6L automatic electric
pressure cooker is 12 cups.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING
Prior to each use, inspect to make sure the sealing ring is well
seated in the sealing ring rack and the anti-block shield is
mounted properly on the steam release pipe. A properly seated
sealing ring can be shifted (with a bit of effort) clockwise or
counter-clockwise inside the sealing ring rack.
After use, remove any foreign objects from the sealing ring and
anti-block shield.
Keep the sealing ring clean to avoid odour. Washing the sealing
ring in warm soapy water or the dishwasher can remove odour.
However, it is normal for the sealing ring to absorb the smell of
certain acidic foods.
Never pull the sealing ring by force, as pulling may cause
deformation and affect its function in sealing the pressure.
A sealing ring with cracks, cuts or other damages should not be
used. A new sealing ring replacement should be used.
SAFE LID OPENING
1. Make sure the pressure cooking program has completed or
press ‘Keep-Warm/Cancel’ to terminate the program.
2. Release pressure in one of the following approaches.
Quick Release
Press the Steam Release Button on the lid handle.
Caution: Please keep hands and face away from the hole on top
of the steam release handle when using Quick Release. The
escaping steam is very hot and can cause scalding.
Never pull the steam release handle when it is letting out
steam.
Please be aware that Quick Release is not suitable for food in
large liquid volumes or with high starch content (e.g., porridge,
congee, sticky liquids, soup, etc.). Food may splatter with the
steam. Use Natural Release instead.
Natural Release
Allow the appliance to cool down naturally until the float valve
drops down. This may take 10-15 minutes after cooking is
finished and the appliance is in Keep-Warm mode. Putting a
wet towel on the lid can speed up cooling.
Open the lid: Hold the lid handle, turn the lid clockwise to the
open position and lift to open. To avoid vacuum suction on the
lid, turn the steam release to the ‘Venting’ position which lets
air in when lifting the lid.
Caution: Do not open the lid until pressure inside the pot is
completely released. As a safety feature, until the float valve
drops down, the lid is locked and cannot be opened.
If the float valve is stuck due to food debris or stickiness, you
can push it down with a pen or chopsticks when you are certain
the pressure has been released by moving the steam release
handle into the venting position.
COOKING PREPARATION
1. Open the lid
Holding the lid handle with your hand, rotate approximately 30°
clockwise.
2. Check all parts on the lid are properly assembled
Check the float valve and exhaust valve for obstructions. Make
sure that the sealing ring is well seated inside its holding rack, the
anti-block shield is installed properly, and the float valve can move
up and down easily.
3. Place the inner pot inside the cooker housing
Before that, be sure to remove any foreign objects and wipe
both the outside of the inner pot and heating element inside the
appliance dry.
After placing the inner pot inside the housing, rotate slightly to
ensure good contact between the inner pot and heating element.
4. Close the lid completely
Hold the lid handle and place lid on the cooker. Rotate the lid
counter-clockwise, approximately 30° until it stops..
When using functions, the lid should be fully closed.
