• The cooking time is indicated with a “P” followed
by the remaining cooking time
i.e. “P:15” for chicken.
• The cooking time is adjustable in increments of
1 min between 3 – 60 minutes, depending on the
function selected.
PLEASE NOTE:
During initial use, you may notice a slight odour due
to the burning off of manufacturing residue. This is
completely normal, it does not affect the food being
cooked and will disappear after a few uses.
NOTE: Ensure that the steam release valve is in the
“sealed” position before the appliance starts the
cooking process otherwise the unit will not be able
to build up pressure.
DELAY TIME:
• Before selecting the cooking function press the
“time” key to add a cooking time delay. The delay
timer can be adjusted in increments of 30 minutes.
Maximum delay time is 24 hours. Continue to
press the button until the desired time delay is
reached. The amount of time until the unit begins
cooking will be displayed on the screen.
• Once the delay has been selected use the
“selection dial” to choose the desired cooking
function (i.e. rice, soup, chicken, etc.), then press
the “selection dial” to select the function. The
cooking will begin once the time
delay has elapsed.
• Please note that once the cooking time has
counted down, the time may not be adjusted.
If more or less cooking time is required. The
cooking process must be cancelled and the
timing must be reset to the required/desired time.
(P:08 refers to 8 minutes remainingbefore cooking
is complete.)
• During set up and while cooking the “Keep warm /
cancel” button can be pressed to
cancel cooking.
• After cooking the unit will automatically engage
“Keep Warm” mode and the letters “bb” will be
displayed on the screen. The “Keep warm/Cancel”
button can be pressed to cancel
keep warm mode.
• Once the unit has completed the cooking cycle or
the LCD display has turned off before opening and
removing the lid, turn the pressure release valve to
the “vent” position as indicated on lid. Ensure that
your face and hands are away from the opening
of the pressure release valve to ensure that you
do not get burnt or injured, the steam is very hot
therefore extreme caution must be exercised when
steam is being released.
• When cooking liquid foods such as soup or
porridge wait for the unit to cool down before
pressure is released.
• Switch off the appliance at the wall socket and
remove the plug from the wall socket.
• Once all pressure has been released and the
plug has been removed from the wall socket and
there is no longer any steam escaping from the
pressure release valve, the lid may be turned
clockwise to be unlocked.
• When removing the lid, remove it in such a
manner that the steam is directed away from
you. Do this by allowing the top of the lid to face
your direction, the steam will deflect against the
inner surface of the lid. Ensure you are positioned
to the side of the unit without your face or hands
over it. Use an oven glove when removing the lid
to reduce the chance of being burnt by the steam.
• Only use non-stick utensils to serve from the
cooking pot as any hard utensils made from
stainless steel or similar materials could damage
the non-stick surface of the inner cooking pot.

1. Ensure that the power supply cord is removed
from the wall socket and from the unit before
