SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

WARNING: When using electrical appliances especially when children are present, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shocked/or injury to persons, including the following:

This appliance should be used only by persons who are capable of understanding the user manual or are supervised by those who have adequate understanding of the appliance’s features, its use and operating instructions. Children must be supervised and should not be left alone with appliances during their operation.
Place this appliance on a flat, steady, heat resistant surface. Make sure not to place near or on a heat source, such as a gas or electric burner, stove or oven.
Do not use this appliance near an open flame or flammable materials.
Appliances can emit heat or steam when in use; therefore, care should be taken to not block inlets or outlets.
Short power cords are attached to this item to prevent entanglement and tripping hazards. Extension cords with corresponding voltage, electrical rating and grounding wires can be used. Care should be taken so that any exposed cord is not hanging down from a counter or table where it can be pulled on or tripped over by any child or adult.
Never use any accessories or parts from other manufacturers. Your warranty will become invalid if such accessories or parts have been used.
Check that your home power supply corresponds with this appliance’s intended voltage.
Before using this appliance, inspect the plug and cord line for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If they are found, do not use this appliance and contact Chefman Customer Service.
Insert the plug by grasping it firmly and guiding it into your home’s grounded electric outlet. Disconnect by grasping the plug and removing it from your home’s grounded electric outlet.
Examine the gasket to make sure it is without tears or damages. Only use the gasket designed for this particular appliance.\ Should you notice that the gasket has any damage, please contact Chefman Customer Service.
Before using this appliance, please read the caution sticker attached to the lid of the Multi Cooker. Review how to lock and unlock the lid, and always check the pressure regulator knob to make sure it is in the correct position (“Sealing” or “Venting.”)
Always check the pressure regulator knob for clogging or obstruction; clean if necessary by removing and using a sponge and warm, soapy water.
Permanent damage may occur if the appliance is operated without food or liquid. NEVER operate the unit without food or liquid present in the cooking pot.
Do not use the appliance for frying. Oil can be used within the Sauté function, which is used with the lid open — this is a quick, light fry method.
When pressure cooking, do not fill the cooking pot more than 2/3. When pressure cooking foods that expand and foam up, do not fill the cooking pot more than 1/2
Do not leave uncooked ingredients in this pot for more than a short period of time. Raw meat, poultry, fish, fruits or vegetables can spoil.
It is necessary to lock the lid of this appliance for safe pressure cooking. Once the
lid is locked and the process has begun, do not attempt to open the lid.
Do not move appliances that are full of food or liquid whether hot or cold.
During initial use, you may notice some smoke and/or a slight odor. This is normal and should quickly dissipate. It should not reoccur after the appliance has been used a few more times.
Do not move the Multi Cooker while it is in use. Doing so may cause steam to splatter out of the lid, which can potentially cause burns.
Appliance exteriors are designed to be cool to the touch. Portions do get HOT during use. Burns can result from touching heating elements, air vents and removable containers. If any part is designed to be handled, do so with care.
Do not force the lid open once locked. Should you need to open the lid, cancel the function with the CANCEL button. Then, turn the pressure regulator knob to “Venting” to release all steam. Once the floating valve drops, the lid may safely be opened.
Never place your hands, arms or face over the pressure release valve once this appliance has started to function.
Unplug unit when you are done cooking.
Before cleaning, make sure that the Multi Cooker is turned OFF, unplugged, all
pressure has been released and it has been cooled to room temperature.
Do not clean the Multi Cooker until it is cool.
Do not immerse Multi Cooker in water or a dishwasher for cleaning.
Clean with a non-abrasive cleaner, soft pad or cloth.
Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance during use or storage as this can cause the wire to fray and break.
Store unit in a cool, dry location.
In case of any electrical emergency, such as a fire, call 911.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If longer detachable power-supply extension cord is used:

The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and:
The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

POWER CORD SAFETY TIPS

Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.
To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.
To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.
Before each use, inspect the power cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced and the power cord replaced. Please contact Chefman Customer Service.
Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.

DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

CAUTION: To ensure continued protection against risk of electric shock, connect to properly grounded outlets only.

IMPORTANT: During the first few minutes of initial use, you may notice smoke and/or a slight odor. This is normal and should quickly disappear. It will not recur after appliance has been used a few more times.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

Operating Instructions BEFORE FIRST USE

Remove all packing materials and stickers from the inside and outside of the Multi Cooker.
Gently wipe down exterior with a damp cloth or paper towel. Never immerse the Multi Cooker, its base, cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
Wash all removable parts, except for the power cord and plug, with a sponge and warm, soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or scouring pads. Dry all parts thoroughly.
Read all instructions and follow them carefully.
NOTE: Always remember to secure the gasket before securing the lid.

REMOVING AND SECURING THE GASKET

To remove the gasket

Turn lid upside down.
Pull gasket away from the metal ring until it is fully removed

To secure the gasket

Turn lid upside down and place the inside of the gasket onto the gasket holder. It should be positioned between the gasket holder and the inner edge of the lid.
Continue pushing the gasket onto the gasket holder while rotating the lid. It is fully secured when all parts of the gasket holder sit flush within the inside of the gasket.

SETTING UP THE MULTI COOKER

Plug the base of the power cord into the power cord port.
Plug the power cord into the wall. The Multi Cooker will beep once and the word “OFF” will illuminate on the screen.
Ensure that the condensation cup is in place on the back of the Multi Cooker.
Put your cooking pot into the Multi Cooker.
Put your ingredients into the cooking pot.
Select and start a function using the detailed instructions on pages 13 to 26.

SECURING THE LID

Make sure the gasket, on the inside of your lid, is fully secured. (Read “Removing and Securing the Gasket” above.)
Place your lid onto the Multi Cooker. Line up the arrow on the top of the lid with the arrow located next to the unlock symbol on the Multi Cooker.
Once it is secure, use the lid handle to turn the lid to the left, lining up the arrow with the arrow next to the lock symbol; this will lock the lid.

ADJUSTING THE PRESSURE REGULATOR KNOB

Turn the pressure regulator knob to the “Sealing” or “Venting” position.
NOTE: The pressure regulator knob is removable for cleaning; pull it up to remove. Never attempt to remove it while the Multi Cooker is in use or while the floating valve is lifted.

RELEASING THE PRESSURE

CAUTION : Never attempt to open the lid while the floating valve is still lifted. Always allow the pressure to fully release before opening.

To release the pressure naturally

Simply allow the Multi Cooker to switch to the KEEP WARM function until the floating valve drops on its own. This process may be sped up by pressing the CANCEL button, which will turn off the Multi Cooker’s heating element.

To release the pressure using the quick release method

Use a long-stemmed utensil, such as a wooden spoon or tongs, to turn the pressure regulator knob to “Venting.”

CAUTION: When the pressure is releasing, hot steam will release from the pressure regulator knob. To prevent splattering, a towel may be placed over the pressure regulator knob before turning the pressure regulator knob to “Venting.”

NEVER PLACE YOUR HAND OR FACE OVER THE PRESSURE REGULATOR KNOB WHILE PRESSURE IS RELEASING. STEAM IS VERY HOT!

To open the lid before the programmed time is up

Use a long-stemmed utensil, such as a wooden spoon or tongs, to turn the pressure regulator knob to “Venting,” or press CANCEL and wait for the floating valve to drop naturally. The lid may be opened once the valve drops.
The lid may also be opened before the Multi Cooker comes to pressure and the floating valve has not lifted yet.

OPENING THE LID

Ensure that the floating valve has dropped.
Use the handle on the top of the lid to turn the lid to the right.
Lift it up and slowly turn your wrist 90 degrees so that any moisture that has collected on the inside of the lid can drip into the cooking pot.
Once the excess moisture has dripped into the cooking pot, the lid may be placed in one of the Multi Cooker’s handles.

Tips

Always ensure the cooking pot is in place before adding ingredients to the Multi Cooker.
When using the lid, always make sure that the gasket is fully secured and the pressure regulator knob is in place.
When pressure cooking, always fill the Multi Cooker with at least 1/2 cup of water.
When pressure cooking for more than 30 minutes, use at least 1 cup of water.
Never fill the cooking pot more than 2/3.
When pressure cooking foods that foam up a lot, like rice, pasta and beans, only fill the cooking pot halfway.
Periodically empty the condensation cup located on the back of the Multi Cooker.
Cut food into equal sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
Cut tough pieces of meat into smaller pieces for the quickest cooking results.
When making white rice, the rice to water ratio is typically 1 cup rice to 1 cup water.
When making brown rice and other grains, the grains to water ratio is typically 1 cup rice to 1 ½ cup water.
When making beans, add the beans to the cooking pot first and then fill with water halfway.
Dried beans take longer to cook than soaked beans.
When steaming, place food directly on the rack. Add 1 cup of water or stock with or without spices and aromatics like lemon and garlic. For optimal results, liquid should not touch food. Allow rack to cool before removing from cooking pot, or use tongs.
As the Multi Cookers comes to pressure, steam will emit from the pressure regulator knob. It is also normal for it to hiss and wobble.
Use natural pressure release for foods that benefit from added cooking time such as soups, chilis and tough cuts of meat.
Use quick pressure release for foods that can overcook easily such as rice and vegetables.
