IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using this electrical appliance, safety precautions must always be observed, including the following:
A Pressure Cooker is very safe when used properly.

• READ ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.

• Close adult supervision must be provided when this appliance is used by or near children. Keep pressure cooker and cord out of the reach of children.

• 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.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• The pressure cooker has a polarized AC (Alternating Current) plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way, as a safety feature. Reverse the plug if the plug does not fit fully in the outlet. Contact a qualified electrician if it still does not fit. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

• Short power cord should be used to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Never use with an extension cord. 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.

• Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug. If the appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped or damaged, left outdoors or dropped into water, do not use it and return it to the manufacturer for proper service, repair, or replacement.

• Do not let cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

• Do not place near hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.

• Always use in a well ventilated area.

• For indoor use only. Intended for countertop use only.

• The pressure cooker is for household use only. The pressure cooker should not be used for other than the intended use.

• Do not cover the appliance or have it near flammable material including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like when in operation.

• Do not cover the pressure valves with anything. An explosion may occur.

• Do not use without the removable cooking pot in place. This will reduce the risk of electrical shock.

• WARNING : Spilled foods can cause serious burns.

• Do not fill the pressure cooker more than 1/2 full with food or 2/3 full with liquid. When cooking foods that expand during cooking do not fill the unit over1/2 full.

• When cooking food under pressure, at least 1 cup (8 oz.) of liquid must be used.

• Foods such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or other cereals, split peas, noodles and pasta, or rhubarb should not be cooked under pressure in the pressure cooker. These foods tend to foam, froth and sputter, and may block the floating valve.

• The exterior and the lid become hot during use. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

• WARNING: Keep hands and face away from pressure regulator knob when releasing pressure.

• While the unit is in operation, never remove the lid.

• Do not pick up regulator knob when inner tank full of steam pressure.

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, cook only in removable container.

• After cooking, use extreme caution when removing the lid. Serious burns can result from steam inside the unit.

• CAUTION: When removing the lid, there could be a suction created between the inner pot and lid.

• Extreme caution should be used when moving any appliance containing hot food or liquid.

• Do not attempt to dislodge food when the appliance is plugged in.

• CAUTION: Perishable foods such as meat and poultry products, fish, cheese and dairy products cannot be left at room temperature for more than 2 hours. (No longer than 1 hour when the room temperature is above 90°F). When cooking these foods, do not set the delay time function for more than 1-2 hours.

• DANGER: Never deep fry or pressure fry in the pressure cooker. It is dangerous and may cause a fire and serious damage.

• Using attachments not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may cause hazards.

• Make sure appliance is off before unplugging from wall outlet.

• Always unplug before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.

• To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse plug, cord or housing in water or any other liquid.

• Servicing or repair should only be completed by a qualified technician.

• DANGER: Do not lift the unit with cover handle, use side handles only.

CLEANING

Do not wash any parts of the pressure cooker in the dishwasher. Always wash the pressure cooker thoroughly after every use, or if it has not been used for an extended period of time.

1. Unplug and let the unit cool before cleaning.

2. Wash the removable cooking pot with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

3. Wipe the housing with a clean damp cloth.
   Do not submerge in water.

4. Remove the condensation reservoir in the back by pulling out (see drawing). Clean with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
   Replace by pushing it back in.

5. Remove the rubber gasket as instructed on page 6. Clean the rubber gasket in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
   Replace the gasket per page 6. NOTE : The rubber gasket must always be properly positioned on the underside of the lid. Check periodically to make sure that it is clean, flexible, and not cracked or torn. (See pg. 6 “The Gasket”.)

6. If the rubber gasket is damaged, do not use the appliance and contact the customer service department at 1-888-321-5023.

7. In order to maintain good performance of your pressure cooker, the ottom of the removable cooking pot, in the area of the sensor pad, must be cleaned after each use. Wipe with a soft damp cloth and be sure to dry thoroughly.

8. Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to clean any of the parts.

Note : Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service center.

Cleaning the Pressure Regulator Knob
Check that the pressure regulator knob is in good working order before each use.

1. After the unit has cooled, remove the lid.
2.  Turn the pressure regulator knob to release. Lift up and remove.
3. Using a brush, check and remove any food or foreign particles that may be lodged in the floating valve.
4. Replace the pressure regulator knob in the lid.

HINTS AND TIPS

• To ensure the best cooking performance when cooking under pressure, always use at least 8 oz. of water or liquid in your recipes to enable enough steam to be created to produce pressure.
• A rule of thumb for converting recipes from oven to a pressure cooker is to decrease the time by 2/3.
• Frozen foods can be cooked in a pressure cooker. Add approximately 10 minutes to every inch of thickness.
• When using the pressure settings, the timer should not begin counting down until there is enough pressure.
• When cooking under pressure, if you are unsure of the cooking time, it is better to under cook and use the quick release method and check for doneness. If not done, continue cooking under pressure.
• Never fill the Pressure Cooker more than half full with food or 2/3 full with liquid. The pressure cooker must have enough liquid to steam or the food will not cook properly.
• If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance may not operate. The pressure cooker should be operated on a separate electrical circuit.
• Tougher, less expensive cuts of meat are better suited for the pressure cooker because cooking under pressure breaks the fibers down for tender results.
• Do not add thickeners to your recipe (flour . . . ). The unit needs liquid to cook under pressure.
• Fresh fruit and delicate seafood should be cooked on low pressure.
• Add a tablespoon of oil to the water to reduce the amount of foaming that beans produce.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If steam is escaping from around the lid
1. Push down on the lid, this forces the gasket to make contact with the pot. The pot seals and the pressure is acknowledged by the machine.
Or – If steam is leaking from under the lid because the lid is not properly closed, the gasket isnʼt positioned properly, is damaged, or the pressure cooker is over filled, follow these steps:

1. Unplug, release any pressure using the quick release method.
2. Remove the gasket and check for tears or cracks.
3. Check to be sure the gasket is positioned properly.
4. If too full, remove excess liquid and continue cooking.

If you have not added sufficient liquid and you notice that the floating valve has not risen, but the timer is counting down, perform the following steps:

1. Stop the pressure cooker by pressing the START/STOP button.
2. Turn the pressure regulator knob to RELEASE, using short bursts, until the pressure is fully released.
3. Remove the lid and add approximately 1 1 /2 cups of water/stock or any liquid. Stir food to disperse liquid.
4. Replace the lid and lock into position.
5. Set the pressure and time per page 7.
6. Press the START/STOP button to begin cooking again.

If you canʼt open or remove the cover:

1. Be sure all of the pressure has been released.
2.  If you still cannot open it, bring the contents of the cooker up to pressure again.
3. Release the pressure completely.
4.  If the cover still wonʼt come off, call customer service at 1-888-321-5023.
