5. Press “Start” to start the cooking program. The appliance starts to
heat up. The light of “Heating Up” lights up – Fig. 9. Once you have
selected your program, the time to reach the pressure will depend
on the amount of food and liquids in the cooking pot. The lid must
be closed and locked to reach a pressure state: as the appliance is
hermetically closed, when the temperature increases, the liquid inside
forms steam which raises the pressure in the pot (thus when preparing
with pressure there should be always liquid inside the bowl).
6. When the pressure for cooking is reached, the appliance switches
automatically to the pressure cooking phase, and the time previously set
starts to countdown.
7. When the pressure cooking time has elapsed, the appliance beeps.
8. When the pressure time has elapsed, “F” is displayed on the screen.
The pressure release needs to be done manually :
a Push the pressure release button to release the pressure –Fig.22.
b Keep your hands away from the pressure limit valve when
releasing steam.
c To remove lid, take hold of the lid knob, turn it anticlockwise and lift the lid.
d Unplug the power cord.
9. The appliance will jump to “Keep Warm” automatically when the
appliance cools down and the pressure releases completely.
RICE COOKING
1. Pour the required quantity of rice into the cooking pot using
the measuring cup provided. Then fill with cold water up to the
corresponding “CUP” mark printed in the bowl.
Note: Always add the rice first otherwise you will have too much water.
2. For best results, we recommend using ordinary rice rather than “easy
cook” type of rice which tend to give a stickier rice and may adhere to
the housing. With other types of rice, such as brown or wild rice, the
quantities of water need adjustment.
3. If you only want to cook 1 cup of white rice (serves 2 small or 1 large
portion), use 1 measuring cup of white rice and then add one and a
half measuring cup of water. With some types of rice it is normal for a
little rice to stick on the housing when cooking 1 cup of rice.
4. If you only want to cook 2 cups of white rice (serves 4 small or 3
large portions), use 2 measuring cups of white rice and then add two
measuring cups of water.
