USE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING THE FIRST TIME
1. Before using the Programmable Electric Pressure Cooker for
the first time, wash the removable pot with warm soapy
water. Rinse off with clean water and towel dry. Wash the
self-locking lid and rubber gasket with a clean, damp sponge
or cloth and warm soapy water. Wipe off with clean water
and towel dry.
2. To ensure correct fitting of the rubber gasket, fill the
removable pot two-thirds full with water and run on HIGH
PRESSURE as described on page 11, Steps 3 to 8 for 15
minutes. Release pressure by pressing on the quick release
button. Let appliance cool to room temperature. Pour out the
water. Rinse and dry the removable pot. The Pressure Cooker
is now ready to be used.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN COOKING EACH TIME
For best results, always check that the pressure regulator knob,
pressure indicator, steam release valve and safety valves are in
good working order and that there are no foreign particles
blocking the valve openings on the underside of the lid (see Care
and Cleaning Instructions, page 14, Step 7).
POWER BACK UP FEATURE
This Pressure Cooker has a Back-Up Feature to prevent
malfunction in the event of power surges. If the Pressure Cooker
is unplugged or switched OFF, allow at least 30 seconds for the
program to clear before turning the unit back ON.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Plug the cord into a grounded-type 120V AC electrical
wall outlet.
2. Position the removable pot in the appliance so that the guide
located in the front of the removable cooking pot (with the
heating element pins) slides down through the channel
located inside the front of the cool-to-the-touch housing.
3. Choose the desired program by pressing either WARM,
COOK MODE: BROWN or STEAM, or PRESSURE MODE:
LOW or HIGH.
4. If using COOK MODE: STEAM, or PRESSURE MODE: LOW
or HIGH, press COOK TIME for the desired cooking time.
5. Press the START/STOP button to begin cooking. The
Pressure Cooker will beep three times at the end of the
cooking time.
