This document is an instruction manual for the MOOSOO Electric Pressure Cooker, Model YS60Y-L-P. It provides comprehensive information on the device's functions, safety features, operation, and maintenance.
Function Description
The MOOSOO Electric Pressure Cooker is a multi-functional kitchen appliance designed for household use in an indoor counter-top environment. It offers a variety of cooking programs, including pressure cooking and non-pressure cooking methods, to prepare a wide range of dishes efficiently and safely. The cooker is equipped with a multi-level safety and protection system that automatically interrupts the cooking cycle if temperature or pressure limits are exceeded, resuming once conditions normalize.
Key Cooking Programs:
- Pressure Cooking Programs: Poultry, Meat/Stew, Bean/Chili, Soup/Broth, Rice, Multi-Grain, Porridge, Pressure Cook (manual setting), Steam, Egg, Cake. These programs utilize pressure to cook food faster and more effectively, with adjustable pressure levels (Low/High) and cooking times (Less/Normal/More modes).
- Non-Pressure Cooking Programs:
- Sauté: Allows for simmering, thickening sauces, pan searing, stir-sautéing, or browning meat. It operates without the lid and has adjustable temperature settings (Less/Normal/More) and cooking times (0-30 minutes).
- Slow Cook: Designed for slow cooking various recipes over extended periods (30 minutes to 20 hours) at temperatures ranging from 198-208°F. The lid should be locked in the "Venting" position for this function.
- Yogurt: Features settings for fermenting glutinous rice dessert, fermenting milk for yogurt, and pasteurizing milk.
- Keep Warm: This function is enabled by default after a cooking program finishes, keeping food warm for up to 12 hours. It can also be used as a standalone program to warm pre-cooked food.
- Delay Start: This feature allows users to set a delayed start time for cooking programs, up to 24 hours in advance, in 10-minute or 1-hour intervals. It is not available for Sauté or Keep Warm settings and requires careful consideration for perishable foods.

Safety Features:
The cooker incorporates numerous safety mechanisms to ensure safe operation:
- Safety Lid Lock: Prevents opening when pressurized and ensures pressure does not build if the lid is not properly sealed.
- Steam Release Vent: An extended handle keeps hands away from hot steam during manual pressure release.
- Excess Pressure Protection: Automatically stops pressurization if excess pressure is detected.
- Pressure Regulator Protection: Regulates pressure based on the selected program.
- Automatic Pressure Control: Maintains safe pressure levels.
- Anti-Block Shield: Prevents food debris from blocking the steam vent.
- Lid Close Detection: A magnetic sensor monitors if the lid is in the locked position for pressure cooking.
- Automatic Temperature Control: Regulates temperature based on the selected program.
- Extreme Temperature & Power Protection: A fuse cuts off power if current or internal temperature exceeds safety limits.
- High Temperature Warning: The cooker turns off and displays an error code on the LCD if the temperature is too high to prevent burning food.
Usage Features
- Control Panel with LCD Display: Allows for program selection, adjustment of settings, and displays cooking information and status.
- Adjustable Settings:
- Less, Normal, More Modes: Adjusts preset cooking time (for pressure cooking) or temperature (for non-pressure cooking).
- Pressure Level: Switches between Low and High pressure for applicable programs.
- Adjust Cook Time: Manual adjustment of cooking time in 1-minute increments/decrements, with faster adjustment by holding the button.
- Pressure Release Methods:
- Quick Release (Manual): Turning the Steam Release Handle to "Venting" position to rapidly release steam. Requires caution due to hot steam.
- Natural Release: Allows pressure to dissipate naturally over time (10-40 minutes or longer).
- Automatic Intermittent Exhaust: The cooker can automatically release pressure intermittently during heating, keep warm, or after cooking, depending on the program and user selection. The "Venting" button can enable/disable this feature.
- Lid Operation: The lid locks by turning clockwise and unlocks by turning counterclockwise. A sound indicates proper locking/unlocking.
- Initial Test Run (Water Test): Recommended before first use to familiarize with operation and ensure proper function.
- Fill Lines: The removable inner pot has maximum fill lines (2/3 full for most foods, 1/2 full for expanding foods like rice or beans) to prevent overfilling and clogging.
