Cleaning Pressure/Steam Regulator Valve
Check that Pressure/Steam Regulator Valve, Floating Valve & Safety Valve are in good working
condition before each use and unobstructed of any food or foreign matter.
To clean Pressure/Steam Regulator Valve:
1. After unit has fully cooled down, remove Lid.
2. Press down Pressure/Steam Regulator Valve counter clockwise
to CLEAN position and remove carefully.
3. Using a small soft brush (non-metallic), remove any food or foreign
particles that may be lodged in Regulator Valve.
4. Replace Pressure/Steam Regulator Valve by placing it in CLEAN position, then pushing it
down and turning it clockwise to PRESSURE position.
TIPS
To ensure top performance when cooking in Pressure Cooker mode, always add at least 12 oz
of water or liquid to Removable Cooking Pot to ensure sufficient steam is generated to produce
necessary pressure.
• If electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, Pressure Cooker may not operate.
Use on a separate electrical circuit.
• Tougher, less expensive cuts of meat are well suited for the Pressure Cooker as cooking
under pressure breaks the fibers down for tender, succulent and flavorful results.
• Fresh fruit should be cooked on LOW pressure (2.5 PSI).
• Add a tablespoon of oil to water to reduce amount of foaming when cooking beans.
• When cooking frozen food in Pressure Cooker mode, it is not recommended to use large
cuts of meats such as roasts or whole chicken which will require up to ⁄ more cooking
time. After pressure has been reached in Pressure Cooker, single cuts of frozen meat up to
1 inch thick will cook for same time length as fresh meat.
11
DELAY TIME SETTING
This function allows to program cooking food up to 8 hours later (½ hour increments). Use
delayed time setting with Slow Cook, Steam, High & Low pressure functions.
CAUTION: Perishable foods such as meat, poultry, fish, cheese & dairy products should never be
left at room temperature more that 2 hours (or just 1 hour at 90ºF+). When cooking perishable
foods, DO NOT set Delay Time function for more than 2 hours.
1. Follow procedures 1 through 6 in Pressure Cooking section.
2. Press Delay Time control. Delayed time will be shown in Display Panel.
3. Press or control keys to set desired Delay Time.
4. Press START/STOP control. Pressure Cooker will begin cooking after the set time has elapsed.
5. If the Pressure Cooker is set for Delayed Cooking, make certain that it is placed in a location
where it will not be disturbed while in operation. NOTE: Always place Pressure Cooker on a
safe, flat, heat resistant surface while the appliance is on.
NOTE: DO NOT use Delay Time program when cooking foods that might spoil if left out at room
temperature.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
DO NOT wash any parts of the Pressure Cooker in dishwasher. Always wash Pressure Cooker
thoroughly after every use, or if it has not been used for an extended period of time.
1. After every use, unplug unit form electrical outlet and let appliance FULLY COOL DOWN
before displacing, disassembling or cleaning.
