bone-stripping effect on meat. The “Bean/Chili” key is specifically for cooking beans and making Chili. If you want the beans well cooked, please use the “Adjust” key to select "More" duration. The “Rice” key is a fully automated smart program for cooking regular rice or parboiled rice. The cooking duration is adjusted automatically depending on the amount of food content.
Cooking with Your Instant Pot Pressure Cooking The following procedure is for “Rice”, "Soup", "Poultry", "Meat/ Stew", "Bean/Chili", "Multigrain", "Porridge", "Steam" and “Manual” functions. 1. Follow steps in the "Cooking Preparation" section of this manual. 2. Connect power cord. The LED display shows “OFF” indicating that it’s in standby state. 3. Select a cooking function, e.g. “Soup”. Once a function key is pressed, its indicator lights up.
6. When the pressure cooking cycle finishes, the cooker beeps and automatically goes into the "Keep Warm" cycle, called Auto “Keep Warm” Cycle. The LED display shows an “L” on the first digit, such as "L0:02", to indicate the “Keep Warm” cycle and time duration. The clock counts up for 10 hours. If the 10 hour Auto “Keep Warm” cycle finishes, the cooker goes into standby state.
4. To cancel the Timer operation, press the “Keep-Warm/Cancel” key at any time. 5. Your Instant Pot starts cooking when the delay timer counts down to 0. After cooking, the cooker will then enter the Auto “Keep Warm” cycle for 10 hours. Please Note: We highly discourage using the Timer function for perishable foods, such as meat and fish, which may go bad when left at room temperature for hours. Cooked rice may yield overly soft texture due to long soaking time.
