Note: See the Cooking Guide on page 29 to find the
possible time and pressure adjustments.
6. Once you have made the desired adjustments, if any,
press START/STOP.
7. The Cooker needs to gain pressure before pressure
cooking can begin. When the Cooker is gaining pressure,
“HEAt” will appear on the Display Screen and the time
will not count down. When pressure has been reached,
“HEAt” will disappear on the Display Screen, and the
time will begin to count down.
8. After the set cooking time has elapsed, the Cooker will
beep and will automatically switch to the KEEP WARM
setting. The Display Screen will therefore change from
the cook time to a new timer that will count up to 4:00
(4 hours) or until you press the START/STOP button.
After 4 hours in the KEEP WARM setting, the Cooker
will turn off.
TIP: See the Steaming Chart on page 32.
CAUTION: During cooking, steam will build up in the
Cooker, so when lifting the Pressure Lid use a kitchen glove
or mitt to protect your hand.
USING THE STEAM FUNCTION (CONT.)
The STEAM function is perfect for gently steaming fish and
vegetables. It is pre-programmed to use the HIGH pressure
cooking setting. When steaming, use the Reversible Cooking
Rack in the low position. Capacity: When the Cooker is used
with the STEAM function, the maximum capacity of liquid
should be just under the rack wires, so that the liquid is not
touching the food.
Note: The unit cannot pressure cook without liquid. Ensure
a minimum of 8oz of liquid is used inside the removable
Cooking Pot.
Place the Cooker on a flat, level surface.
Place Cooking Pot inside Heating Base. Plug the Cooker into
a wall outlet. The Cooker will beep, and the Display Screen
will illuminate with four dashes (- - - -).
1. Add 8oz of water to the bottom of the removable
Cooking Pot and insert the Reversible Cooking Rack in
the low position. Ensure water is just under the wires of
the rack so that food is not touching water.
2. Place your food on the Reversible Cooking Rack.
3. Place the Pressure Lid on and lock by rotating
counterclockwise to the LOCKED position.
4. Rotate the Steam Release Valve to “Seal” position.
5. Press the STEAM button and adjust the time and
pressure as needed.
