BEFORE FIRST USE

Prepare for Cooking

1. Opening the lid correctly
   Hold the handle of lid, turn it anticlockwise approximately 30° until the lid unlocks then lift upwards.

2. Ensure all parts and accessories are correctly installed
   Check if the floater valve and exhaust valve are jammed, confirm if the sealing ring and block proof cover are well installed.

3. Remove the inner pot, place ingredients into the inner pot
   The total amount of ingredients must not exceed the “Max” marking on the inner pot.

4. Place the inner pot into the cooker
   • Wipe clean the external surface of inner pot, foreign object and water are not allowed on the inner surface of the cooker.
   • Turn the inner pot to left and right to ensure good contact with the heating plat

5. Close the lid
   • Before closing the lid, ensure the sealing ring is correctly installed.
   • Align the lid to the “unlocked” position, place the lid onto the cooker body, rotate the lid clockwise 30° until it is in the “locked” position. Note: When powered on, if the buttons are inactive, confirm if the lid is closed at the right place. The buttons will not work if the lid has not been closed correctly.

6. Exhaust valve
   • Sealed State: In the sealed state, the pressure cooker is closed tightly with the lid securely locked. This creates an airtight environment inside the cooker, preventing the escape of steam or pressure. The sealed state is typically used when cooking under pressure, as it allows the pressure to build up within the cooker, raising the boiling point of the liquid and enabling faster cooking times. During this state, the exhaust valve is closed to prevent steam from escaping.
   • Exhaust State: The exhaust state occurs when the pressure cooker has completed the cooking process, and it is time to release the pressure and allow the steam to escape. The exhaust state is achieved by opening or activating the exhaust valve on the pressure cooker. This allows the built-up steam and pressure to be gradually released from the cooker. By releasing the pressure, it makes the contents safe to open and prevents potential accidents or injury from a sudden release of steam. The exhaust state
   is also used when adding ingredients or checking on the progress of the cooking without the high pressure. Note: When exhausting, keep hands and face away from the exhaust opening.
   • Check if the floater valve drops down before working (before cooking, the floater valve is down).

7. Safely Open the Lid:
   • Once the cooking process is complete and the multi-cooker is no longer under pressure, it is safe to open the lid.
   • Ensure that the pressure indicator or float has fully dropped, indicating that the pressure inside has been released.
   • Once the indicator has dropped, carefully twist the lid handle to release any remaining steam.
   • Keep your face and hands away from the steam release vent to avoid any potential burns.
   • Once all steam has been released, unlock and open the lid away from your body, allowing any residual steam to escape safely.
   • Ensure that you open the lid slowly and carefully to avoid any sudden release of hot steam.

Note: It is crucial to always exercise caution when opening the lid of a multi-cooker, as the contents may still be hot. Take care to protect yourself from steam burns and allow the cooker to cool down before handling the inner pot or removing the food.
