Operation Manual

9) When cooking has completed, the pressure cooker will beep 3-times and automatically go to
Keep Warm.
10) The Keep Warm indicator light will begin to flash/flicker. This means the Pressure Cooker is
naturally releasing the pressure. This will take approximately 10-15 minutes.
11) If you wish to Quick Release
the pressure, move the Pressure Limiting Valve (3) to “Exhaust”
position to release the pressure until the Float Valve (5) sinks. (Figure 23a & 23b).
CAUTION: Keep hands and face away from Pressure Limiting Valve while in the Exhaust
position. Failure to comply may cause serious injury.
12) Always be certain the pressure is released completely before unlocking the lid and opening it.
13) Remove food to serve immediately or press the Keep Warm button to keep food warm.
(It is not recommended to keep food warm for over 4-hours).

start a new cycle. (The time that displays on the LCD screen shows how long the user
wants the unit to wait before the cooking process begins.
EX: If you wish to program the
pressure cooker to automatically turn on in 3-hours, press the DELAY TIMER button until the
LCD screen displays
3 00).
7) After choosing the desired pre-set time, choose your pre-set function or cooking time.
MENU BUTTONS:
o Press one of the five pre-programmed MENU BUTTONS. The DELAY TIMER LED light
will begin to flash. Your pre-set timer has been programmed.
o After the pressure cooker counts down to automatically turn on, it will follow the cooking

NOTES & TIPS #5:
• NATURAL RELEASE is recommended when cooking foods that will not have the
tendency to overcook such as Potatoes, Beans, Soups & Stews. During the Natural
Release time period (may take 10-15 minutes), the pressure cooker may still be heated
and cooking the food slightly.
• QUICK RELEASE
is recommended when cooking foods that you wish to be Medium or
Medium-Rare such as Beef Roasts or Lamb. This will release the pressure quickly and
prevent the food from over-cooking.
NOTES & TIPS #6:
• It is recommended to release the pressurized steam when the “Keep Warm” LED
stops flickering as the pressure cooker will have lower pressure. This will require a
little more time. (Approximately 5-10 minutes).
• During the cooking process, when the pressure cooker enters into the Pressurized
Sequence, the first digit on the LCD screen will display the letter “P”. At the same
time, the power supply to the Heater (18) will shut off, but the Keep Warm LED light
will light up without flickering.
• For foods with a high volume of liquid (Stews, soups, porridges, etc.) IT IS NOT
RECOMMEND TO USE QUICK RELEASE. This is to avoid liquid splatter from the
ventilation in the Pressure Limiting Valve (3).
• Use the NATURAL RELEASE: User should wait for the temperature to drop and the
Float Valve to sink on its own prior to opening the lid.
*CAUTION: It is not recommended to use the Pre-Set DelayTimer function to
cook foods that may spoil. Leaving raw foods inside the pressure cooker for
long periods of time prior to cooking may result in the food spoiling.
Cook food that can be left out such as rice, beans, grains or other foods that
will not s

oil.
