FAQS & TROUBLESHOOTING
Is the “Airtight/Exhaust Valve” on the Lid supposed to be loose?
Answer: Yes, it should be loose and turn freely.
When the pressure builds up and the valve is set to Airtight, the valve will
bobble during the process. If steam escapes from the valve while cooking, the
valve is not in correct position. In this event, use a potholder or utensil to gently
adjust the valve until steam no longer escapes.
How do I set the Modes and Methods?
Answer: Check the section titled, “Cooking Modes, Methods & Features”
(p. 22-23) for specic instructions on setting all Modes and Methods.
How do I set the Timer Delay?
Answer: Check the section titled, “Cooking Modes, Methods & Features” (p. 23)
for instructions on setting the Timer Delay.
Note that we do not recommend delaying cooking for more than 2-3 hours.
Food contamination can become an issue if foods sit uncooked for a long time.
If foods contain meat, seafood, dairy products and other bacteria-prone foods,
we do not recommend using the Timer Delay or the Keep Warm feature.
How do I set the Preset Times?
Answer: Check the section titled, “Cooking Modes, Methods & Features” (see
p. 22-23). In this section, you will nd specic information on using the Auto
Modes to quickly make your pressure cooking selection. See also “Step by Step
Cooking” to nd the preset times for specic foods.
How does the Keep Warm feature work?
Answer: Keep Warm will automatically start when the Cooking Mode is done.
This feature will hold cooked foods up to four (4) hours after cooking. It is
important that food be removed by that time, as bacteria can contaminate
foods after that. If the Keep Warm feature is manually set, the times range from
30 minutes to 24 hours. We do not recommend that foods be kept warm for
over four (4) hours.
