Follow the steps below to ensure proper operation and carry out the first cleaning:

1. Remove all packaging materials present (both the stickers on the bowl and valve as well as the heating element cover located between the bowl and the cooker).
2. Check the contents of the packaging and make sure nothing is missing.
3. Add half a litre of water in the bowl and a few slices of lemon. Lemon helps to eliminate odours.
4. Check the back lid and the safety valve are correctly placed. Fig .2
5. Close the lid firmly and press it lightly into place (this is very important, as in many cases it looks as if the lid is completely closed, but it is not).

Setting the time
Press the clock icon (button 6 Fig. 4) to set the time you prefer the food to be ready. Turn the knob to set the time and press the GM button to confirm it. Turn the knob again to set the minutes and press the Menu button to select the menu to be cooked. It is not advisable to set less than 3 hours.
Menu
After setting the time, press this button and navigate with the knob to select the desired menu.
Knob
Turn the knob to navigate through the different menus, increase the minutes and hours (clockwise), and decrease them (counterclockwise).
Tip: if you do not want to set the time, turn the knob and choose the desired menu, so you do not have to press the Menu button.
Temperature
Once the menu has been selected, press the temperature button (button 7 in Fig. 4) to set the temperature; choose the temperature based on the ingredients, menus and recipes. There are menus in which pressure and temperature can be set and others in which only pressure or temperature can be set. Only the cooking time can be set in the Poach, Confit and Ferment menus.
Pressure
When the menu is selected, press button 5 (Fig. 4) to set the pressure. Choose the pressure according to the recipe. For spoon dishes, select very high pressure; for hard meat stews such as veal, select high pressure; for more delicate meat stews such as chicken or vegetables, medium pressure; and for dry dishes, low pressure. Do not select pressure when using the cooker with oven, griddle or grill function.
GM button
The main function of this button is to confirm each step. In addition to this, it is also used to start the keep warm and reheat functions; press the button once or twice respectively to activate them. Finally, press and hold for more than one second to change the cooking time or programming at any time and restart the process.
ECO mode
With the ECO mode you can save up to 50% power when cooking. In addition, it evenly distributes the temperature in the bowl, increasing its non-stick properties and preventing food from sticking for increased durability. It can be used with any menu, as long as the temperature does not exceed 140ºC. If this is not the case, it is advisable to activate the ECO mode after preheating has finished and cooking time has started. Using the Eco mode for preheating in menus with temperatures above 140°C will significantly increase the preheating time.
Scale/Cleaning
To activate the scale press button 8 in Fig. 4. Place the ingredients in the bowl for the cooker to show their weight. Press the button again when you want to tare the scale. To exit the scale function, press the GM button, the cooker will emit a sound to confirm. Fig .5
To clean the cooker, pour 2 cups of water and place half a lemon in the bowl, close the lid, and check that the valve is closed. Hold down the Scale/Clean button for 5 seconds: cleaning will automatically run for 9 minutes.
Instructions on calibrating the scale
To calibrate the scale, place a weight of 1 kg in the bowl. If the display shows a weight between 990 and 1010 g, the scale is properly calibrated. Make sure the cooker is on a flat surface.
Should the scale not be calibrated, proceed as follows:

1. Hold down the “P” button while plugging the cooker into the mains.
2. You will see a flashing number in the top right-hand corner of the display. When the number to the right of the dash is “0”, press the Scale button once.
3. After 4 seconds, turn the knob clockwise to select “1” and insert one kilogram of weight into the bowl.
4. Press the Scale button to confirm. After 4 seconds, confirm again by pressing the Menu button.
5. Turn the knob again until “1” appears in the same place on the display and press the GM button to confirm selection.

Once confirmed, press the Scale button and check for correct calibration and operation.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON PRESSURE COOKING

Pressure diffuser cap: place it on the pressure valve whenever you are cooking. Turn it clockwise to place it and counterclockwise to remove it.
Bowl capacity
– Always put the right amount of food/liquids in the bowl.
– Never exceed the maximum capacity levels of the bowl.
– For foods that expand (rice, legumes, cereals, etc.), do not exceed half their capacity.
– Make sure to always fill up the bowl halfway to avoid thermal damage. Fig .6
Closing the lid

1. Make sure the silicone ring is correctly placed in the back lid.
2. Turn the lid to open and close it, do not force it. It must close and fit into place effortlessly.
3. If the electric cooker contains hot food, you may need to press it slightly for the lid to close due to the pressure.
4. When cleaning the safety valve rubber, be especially careful when placing it back.

Check the explanatory videos on our Ollas GM YouTube channel.

Opening the lid
– After high-pressure cooking, open the valve with a cloth or a kitchen utensil, avoiding direct contact with the steam before opening the lid. Otherwise, you will not be able to open it. It is opened clockwise. Fig. 7
– If you cannot open the lid of the cooker, do not force it open: this indicates that some pressure may remain inside. This is due to the safety system of the cooker. If this happens, wait and you will be able to open the lid shortly after.
Note:
Never force the pressure cooker open. Do not open the cooker until pressure inside has decreased completely.
Preparation of the model H

1. Open the lid by turning it clockwise.
2. Wash the lid and the silicone ring with hot soapy water and dry afterwards.
3. The silicone ring is reversible, make sure it is placed in the right position.
4. The lid has only one position and must be placed in the correct position. If it was not properly closed, it could become pressurised, and the food would overflow out of the sides of the cooker.
5. Clean the bowl and make sure that everything makes proper contact.
6. Check that the waste water tank at the back of the cooker is in place.
7. Connect the cooker to the mains. The cooker will start, set the settings according to your preference.

OPERATION

– Open the lid by turning it clockwise until it stops, then it will lift up.
– Put all the ingredients in the bowl and, if necessary, some of the accessories, as indicated in the recipe book.
– There are marks on the interior of the bowl which, in case of pressure (especially high pressure), should not be exceeded by any kind of liquid, and must reach the minimum limit to avoid thermal damage. If the lid is used, check that it is properly closed before starting to cook.
– Then select the menu according to the recipe book. Once the menu has been selected, set the cooking time. To do this, use the knob, which increases the cooking time by 1 minute by turning it clockwise, and decreases the time by turning it counterclockwise. It is advisable to follow the times specified on the recipe book, but you can also modify them to your liking.
– If you prefer to cancel the selected process, press and hold the GM button and the cooker will reset.
– Select the pressure level at which you prefer to cook. In Oven, Low heat, Fry, Stir-fry, Dessert, Bread, Ferment, Confit, Poach and Broil menus, pressure cooking is not possible, so you can only set the temperature and time. In these menus it is recommended to leave the valve or the lid open.
– Set the temperature and if all parameters are set, press the GM button to start the cooking process. The cooker will automatically start preheating.
– During preheat, the flames in the cooker icon will flash (Fig. 8). At the end it will show the cooking time selected and it will start a countdown, deducting every minute from the originally programmed time. Fig .9
– When the cooking has finished, the cooker will alert you by voice: “Food is ready”. From this moment on and if you have chosen a menu with a cooking temperature over 80 ºC, the Keep Warm function will be on indefinitely (except for the Ferment, Comfit and Poach menus) and you will be alerted by voice: “Food is being kept warm”. Your cooker will keep the food warm until you decide to eat it. Fig. 10
– In addition, you can activate this function whenever you prefer by pressing the GM button at any time, it will only be cancelled by pressing the GM button for more than 1 second.
– You can also reheat without overcooking by pressing the GM button twice. Fig. 11
– To open the lid, you must ensure that there is no pressure inside the cooker by moving the pressure valve to the open position using the position knob (otherwise you will not be able to open the lid). The cooker will release all the steam inside. Make sure the pressure inside has completely dissipated before opening the lid. Never touch the metal parts of the cooker while cooking or just after cooking. Fig. 12
Schedule a meal for a specific time
– Whenever you turn on the cooker, the voice control will suggest you choose a menu to cook on the spot or to set the eating time for later. To set the time you want the cooking to finish, press the Time button. Then, choose the desired schedule by setting the number of hours and press the GM button to confirm. If you prefer to set the minutes as well, select them once the hours have been set by turning the knob.
– Then set the menu, cooking time, temperature and pressure as described in the previous section. Finally, press the GM button to set your programming.
– The cooker automatically calculates when to start so that the food is freshly cooked at the set time. In case the cooking time is over the time set to eat, your cooker will automatically start the cooking process to get as close as possible to the pre-set time.
– If you set the cooker for less than 3 hours from now, it would start cooking immediately and keep the food warm until the eating time. The cooker has an EPROM memory, if during cooking or standby there is a power failure the cooker will remember its programming and as soon as the power comes back on it will continue the cooking process.
