Getting started with the Smart Pressure Cooker

Before using it for the first time

1. Carefully read this manual, including the warranty conditions and all accompanying documents, including any safety stickers, and observe the instructions.
2. Remove all packaging materials and warning labels from the Smart Pressure Cooker and the supplied accessories.
3. Before using the cooker for the first time, carefully wash the inner pot, lid, and other supplied accessories with water and lukewarm suds, as explained in ‘Care and Cleaning’.
4. Ensure that the Condensate drip tray is attached to the back of the Smart Pressure Cooker. Slide it over the guides until it clicks into place.
5. Make sure the steam valve is on the lid and press it down (the steam valve may wobble a little after it is attached, this is normal).
6. Make sure the locking device under the high-pressure lid is secured. Push it over the hooks under the steam outlet until it clicks into place.

Before each use

• Check that the steam valve, pressure relief valve, silicone sealing ring, and blocking device are clean, free from obstruction, undamaged, free from deformation, and properly assembled. Do not use the unit and never place the high-pressure cover on the housing if this is not the case.
• Check that the pressure relief valve on the top of the lid falls down when the high-pressure lid is on.
• In the non-high-pressure programs Sauté/Brown, Slow Cook, or Yogurt, do not use the high-pressure lid.
• Make sure that there is enough space at the top of the Smart Pressure Cooker to release steam when using high-pressure programs. Hot steam will escape here under high pressure when steam is released manually at the end of cooking programs (Manual, Soup/Broth, Bean/Chili, Meat/Stew, Poultry, Multigrains, Sterilize, Steam/Self Clean) and pulsing during cooking programs with automatic pressure release at the end of the cooking programs (Cake, Pasta, Rice/ Risotto).

1. Remove the high-pressure lid by turning it anti-clockwise and taking it off.
2. Remove the inner pot and other accessories and parts from the housing.
3. Use only the original inner pot supplied and, if necessary, the steam basket and steam rack when preparing food.
4. Put your desired ingredients and liquid in the inner pot. When the recipe calls for steaming, place the steam basket on top of the steam rack at the bottom of the inner pot. The food then goes into the steam basket. Water goes into the inner pot.
5. Wipe the outside of the inner pot until it is dry. Check whether there is any food residue on the inside and remove it if there is.
6. Place the inner pot back in the housing. Carefully turn the inner pot around until it is properly secured.
7. Now place the high-pressure lid on the Smart Pressure Cooker and turn it clockwise to tighten. Turn the lid clockwise until the arrows are aligned and the lock symbol is in the closed position.
8. Now follow the steps under ‘Cooking under high pressure’ or ‘Cooking under no pressure.

First test program
Follow the steps below to familiarise yourself with the Smart Pressure Cooker and to test whether the device is working properly:

1. Add 3 cups of water to the inner pot (approx. 750ml)
2. Make sure the lid is closed. turn the lid clockwise until it is tight.
3. Press ‘Steam/Self Clean’, followed by ‘Cook Time’. Set the steam time to three minutes by pressing the -/+ buttons.
4. Then press the Start/Cancel button. The ‘On’ sign appears on the display, indicating that the preheating cycle has begun.
   The pressure relief valve will open when pressure builds up in the Smart Pressure Cooker, and the ‘Pressure’ indicator will show the internal levels. Once the desired pressure is reached, the timer will count down from 00:03. At the end, the pressure will escape when ‘Pressure Release’ is activated and will emit a sound signal for 15 seconds before releasing steam.

Cooking under high-pressure
First, follow the steps ‘Before each use’.
The following pressure cooking programs are available on your Smart Pressure Cooker: Soup/Broth, Meat/Stew, Bean/Chili, Poultry, Rice/Risotto, Pasta, Cake, Multigrains, Sterilize and Steam/Self Clean, and Manual.
Attention!

• The amount of food and liquid in the inner pot should never cross the 12-cup line before cooking. Beans, rice, vegetables, or other foods that expand during the cooking process should not be added beyond 10-cups.
• You can press Start/Cancel at any time after the program has started. The machine will then stop the program and go into standby mode.
• Automatic pressure release: The pressure can be released at intervals during cooking in high-pressure programs (Cake, Pasta, Rice/Risotto) in order to prevent food from
  boiling over due to excessive pressure.

1. Make sure that the steam valve and the pressure release valve on the high-pressure lid are in the closed position.
2. Connect the power cord. The display lights up and the Smart Pressure Cooker is now in standby mode.
3. Select one of the pressure cooking programs: Soup/Broth, Meat/Stew, Bean/Chili, Poultry, Rice/Risotto, Pasta, Cake, Multigrains, Sterilize, Steam/Self Clean, or Manual.
4. Personalize the high-pressure program by adjusting the time for the desired use and the ingredients used. You do this by pressing the Cook Time button, followed by – or+.
5. If required, use the delay-start function for one of the high-pressure functions to delay the start. With the delay-start function, the timer counts down before the program starts. This is done by pressing the Delay Start button followed by – or +. After pressing the button once you can adjust the hours, after pressing it twice you can adjust the minutes.
6. After adjusting the settings, press the Start/ Cancel button. The appliance emits 3 beeps and starts preheating or the timer starts running. Depending on the number of ingredients and the starting temperature of the food, the preheating cycle can take from a few minutes to 40 minutes or even longer. As soon as the temperature rises and pressure builds up, the pressure relief valve will lift.
7. When the correct pressure is reached, the Smart Pressure Cooker will switch to the cooking cycle and display the remaining cooking time in minutes. Please note that the Smart Pressure Cooker may emit pulsating steam in between cooking cycles (Cake, Pasta, Rice/Risotto). Therefore, always stay away from the top of the unit when it is in use or when it has completed its program and has not yet cooled down or released its pressure.
8. At the end of the program, the appliance will automatically release all the pressure from the steam valve in the Pasta, Rice/ Risotto, and Cake programs. This prevents dishes from overcooking. For the other programs, it is necessary to press the ‘Pressure Release’ button yourself in order to release the pressure or let the cooker cool down completely.
9. As soon as the cooking cycle has finished, the appliance switches to ‘keep warm’ mode if this function has been set in the selected program. The display then shows the elapsed time, e.g. 00:02. This warm-up mode remains activated for 10 hours. After this time, the appliance switches off.
10. Now press the Start/Cancel button. The unit is now in standby mode. Make sure that the pressure relief valve is down before you open the high-pressure lid, otherwise follow step 7 again and manually release the pressure if necessary. The high-pressure cover should not be removed from the Smart Pressure Cooker until the pressure has decreased sufficiently. Now open the lid.

• Pressure can be released in one of the following ways:

  • Automatic: The pressure is released automatically to prevent food from boiling over. In the Rice/Risotto, Pasta, and Cake settings, steam is released automatically as soon as the cooking time is up.

  • Manual (fast): Press the Pressure Release button for 3 seconds until it beeps. The pressure will then be released completely.
    DO NOT use this option if there is a large amount of liquid in the inner pot.

  • Manual (pulsing): Press the Pressure Release button briefly repeatedly and steam will be released pulsing.

  • Cooling down: Allow the pot and contents to cool down naturally until the pressure release valve drops after completing a manual program or when the Pressure Release
    button is not used. Cooling down can take 10 to 40 minutes or longer, depending on the contents of the inner pot. This is not recommended, as it will lengthen the whole program and may overcook some dishes.

Tip: Users can switch the ‘Keep Warm’ mode on/off for programs where this mode can be activated even during the cooking program. The duration can also be changed during the cooking program.
Cooking under no pressure
First, follow the steps ‘Before each use’.
The available cooking programs under no pressure are Sauté/Brown, Slow Cook, and Yogurt. For the programs under no pressure do not use the high-pressure lid.

4. When you have finished sautéing, press Start/Cancel. The appliance will then switch to standby mode. If the Start/Cancel button is not pressed, the appliance will continue to sauté for the number of minutes set.

Slow Cook
You can also use the Smart Pressure Cooker for slow cooking. Do not use the high-pressure lid.

1. Select the Slow Cook program Low or High by pressing the Temp button. Optionally, you can change the cooking time according to your recipe.
2. After pressing the settings and Start/Cancel button, the program begins. When the desired temperature is reached, the cooker starts the program, and the remaining time is displayed in HH: MM (example 03:59 = 3 hours and 59 minutes left).
3. Afterward, the display shows how long it has been since the program was completed and the keep warm mode is activated. The cooker always switches off automatically after 10 hours and returns to standby mode. Pressing Keep Warm when this function is active stops the keep warm mode and returns the appliance to standby mode.
4. Press Start/Cancel if the hot water program is still running. The unit is now in standby mode.

Making yogurt

Safety and cooking instructions

• Use extreme caution when using the ‘Pressure Release’ button for steam venting. Make sure that your hands and face do not come into contact with the steam by keeping them away from the steam valve and pressure release valve. Failure to do so may result in serious injury.
• The pressure in the cooker must have been released completely before you attempt to open the pressure relief lid. The lid remains locked until the pressure relief valve drops. Never force the pressure lid open.
• The inner pot may stick to the pressure lid when the lid is opened. This is due to the suction force caused by the contents cooling down. In this case, press the ‘Pressure Release’ button to vent. The vacuum in the inner pot will then be released.
• If the pressure release valve becomes stuck, press the ‘Pressure Release’ button. After the steam disappears, move the pressure release valve downwards with a long stick or pen.
• At least 1 cup / 250 ml of liquid should be added to produce enough steam to boil under pressure. Suitable liquids include cooking sauces, beer or wine, fruit or vegetable juice, and broth. Oils and oil-based sauces do not meet the minimum liquid requirements because their water content is too low.
• Larger quantities of food or food that is frozen or refrigerated require more time to cook than small quantities of food or food that is at room temperature.
• After using the ‘Delay Start’ function, always allow enough time for ingredients to cool down before serving, as this will delay the cooking program.
• Do not use the delay start option when cooking foaming or thick liquids such as porridge or oatmeal. Always keep a close eye on the process when cooking these foods.

Maintenance and cleaning

Always disconnect the appliance from the mains before cleaning. Allow the entire unit to cool to room temperature before proceeding.

• After each use, remove the silicone sealing ring and blocking device from the bottom of the high-pressure lid, wash with a mild detergent and dry. The blocking protection
  can be removed by pushing the side of the blocking protection in one direction and pulling it off the hooks. The blocking protection can now be removed.

• Wash the inner pot with a mild detergent after you have removed them and they have cooled down. Rinse with water and then gently pat dry with a tea towel.

• The inner pot can be washed in the dishwasher, but this may reduce its lifespan.

•  Wipe the entire interior and exterior dry with a tea towel after each use to prevent rusting.

• To clean the outside of the Smart Pressure Cooker, use only a slightly damp cloth.

• After cleaning all parts, make sure that the silicone sealing ring and the locking device are placed back in the right place at the bottom of the lid and fit tightly.

• Do not use scouring pads, powders, or chemical cleaning agents to clean (parts of) the Smart Pressure Cooker.

• Check regularly that the steam valve and the pressure relief valve are clean and undamaged.
