PRESSURE COOKING

Pressurecookingisaneasywaytosealintheavorandnutritionofyourfavoritefoods.

You can cook single foods like corn on the cob or rice, or an entire pot roast dinner.

1. Press the “Pressure Cook” function button on the front panel.

2. Add the ingredients from your favorite recipe.

3. Close the lid, turn the LID about an 1/8 turn counter clockwise into the “Closed-

Lid” position. Set the PRESSURE LIMITING VALVE to the “Airtight” position.

4. Set the time per your recipe.

5. Press “Start” to start the process. The display will circle until the internal pressure

is reached. You may notice some clicks as the unit heats up, this is normal.

Once the internal pressure is reached, the “Cooking Time” will start counting

down to “000” and beep 3 times.

6. CAREFULLY move the PRESSURE LIMITING VALVE to the “Exhaust” position.

A large amount of steam will be released from the PRESSURE LIMITING VALVE,

“SMART CANNER” allows this option. Simply add your favorite ingredients to the inner pot.

1. Press the “Slow Cook” function button on the front panel. The Cooking Time

display will show 30 minutes, which can be adjusted up (+) or down (-), to a max

of 600 minutes (10 hours).

2. Set the top limiting valve function to “exhaust”so the pressure does not build up

inside the cooker while slow cooking. You will still seal in liquids for moisture to

create the perfect slow cooking environment.

3. Press “START” to begin cooking. The “Smart Canner” will go into a “keep warm”

state and turn off when the cook time is complete.

HINTS: Considerbrowningmeatsthatwillbeslowcookedrstbyusingthe“Brown”functiononThe

“SMART CANNER”. It is usually not necessary to add cooking oil or butter to the bottom of the INNER

POT when browning meats, but a small amount of liquids such as water, soup stock or fruit juices can

help when “slow cooking”. There are many resources for slow cooking recipes, which can easily be

adapted to use with the “Smart Canner”.

IMPORTANT: Before you start select the BLACK LIMITING PRESSURE VALVE for all usage unless you

are located at altitudes above 1,000 feet above sea level. At altitudes higher than 1,000 feet above sea level

always use the GREEN LIMITING PRESSURE VALVE. Avoid using metal utensils on the INNER POT, as

you may damage the non-stick surface.
