CAUTION
• When cooking food containing a high amount of liquid and/or the KEEP WARM
indicator light is on, do not lift the exhaust valve, food and liquid will spurt from
the exhaust pipe. (See #6 Releasing Pressure after the Cooking Cycle)
• When toggling the exhaust valve to EXHAUST, hands or face should not come
close to the vent hole on the exhaust valve to avoid burns.
Note: Next to the exhaust valve is the float valve. During the initial cooking cycle,
it is normal for air to come out of the valve for 10 to 20 seconds. After the cold
air is expelled, the remaining interior air temperature increases and the float
valve will close. The valve will seal and lock the connecting rod on the handle,
protecting the lid from opening while there is pressure inside the cooker. (See
figure 10)

5. SELECT YOUR COOKING OPTION FROM THE PRESET MENU
Make sure the unit is plugged in. You will hear a beep and the screen will display
0000. Press SELECT until you reach the desired preset function. Press SELECT
and a P:preset time will appear then press START, the bar to the left will
continually move up and down until pre-heated and full pressure is reached to
start cooking. Please refer back to page 7 or the recipe section for adjusted
cooking times. When full pressure is reached, the red light on the left side will
stop flashing and remain lit while the timer starts to count down. Once the
cooking cycle is finished the unit will beep and will go to KEEP WARM. NOTE: To
avoid over cooking certain food press CANCEL when the unit goes to the KEEP
WARM function, as the KEEP WARM function will continue to cook the contents
inside.
6. RELEASING PRESSURE AFTER THE COOKING CYCLE
The unit automatically releases pressure during the KEEP WARM cycle or in the
CANCEL function. This could take 12-30 minutes dependent upon contents
inside and cooking time. You can also release the pressure manually by moving
the release valve to the EXHAUST position.
• Please refer to the important safeguards (page 4-5) in regard to opening
the lid and releasing pressure.
