SAFETY DEVICE FOR OPENING AND CLOSING THE LID
Ensures that the lid cannot be opened while there is still high pressure inside. -
TEMPERATURE-LIMITING SAFETY DEVICE
Automatically releases air through the pressure limiting safety valve should the internal temperature and pressure reach maximum levels. -
OVER-TEMPERATURE SAFETY DEVICE & EMPTY POT COOKING PROTECTION
These safety devices detect abnormal internal heating of the cooker and the removable inner pot. It may be due to a heating malfunction or if the removable inner pot is empty during operation. The safety devices will shut the power off automatically until the temperature drops to normal levels. -
FLOAT VALVE PROTECTION DEVICE
Ensures that the lid and the appliance body will not pressurize if they are not positioned correctly. -
PRESSURE CONTROL SAFETY DEVICE
Ensures that power is automatically shut off should the internal pressure reach the maximum limit during operation. -
OVER-TEMPERATURE SAFETY DEVICE
Ensures that the temperature inside the cooker does not rise above its maximum temperature limit. Should the temperature reach its maximum limit, the cooker will shut off. -
PRESSURE RELIEF SAFETY DEVICE
The pressure relief safety device has been developed for instances where a failure could occur with the other safety devices and if the pressure inside the cooker reaches the maximum level. This safety device ensures that the heating plate has flexible support that allows the removable inner pot to move down automatically, allowing the safe release of air from the edge of the lid.
LID AND VENT INSTRUCTIONS
-
TO CLOSE THE LID:
With the lid handle horizontally positioned and pressure valves above the lid handle, place the lid on the cooker and close the lid by turning it in a clockwise direction. -
TO OPEN THE LID:
Turn it in an anticlockwise direction. -
To Pressurize:
Turn the Pressure Limiting Safety Valve located on top of the lid to the “CLOSE” position. -
Quick Release Venting Method:
Use this venting method to manually release pressure from the PRESSURE COOKER This is the faster release method. Turn the Pressure Limiting Safety Valve to the ” OPEN ” position. Note that the lid must only be opened after the Float Valve has moved down/dropped. -
Natural Release Venting Method:
This method is used when the PRESSURE COOKER releases all internal pressure naturally without manual intervention from the user. It is the slower release method. Note that the lid must only be opened after the Float Valve has moved down/dropped.

USING YOUR PRESSURE COOKER
-
Position the PRESSURE COOKER on a dry flat surface and away from any potential heat source
-
Put the water collector on to the side of the outer body by pushing it inwards
-
Plug the cord into the PRESSURE COOKER and unwind the length of the cord required to reach the main electrical outlet. Ensure the cord does not hang over the work surface edge
-
Open the PRESSURE COOKER lid by holding the lid handle tightly and turning the lid in an anticlockwise direction
-
Lift the lid upwards and place it on a clean, stable, and dry surface
-
Remove the removable inner pot and place your solid and/or liquid ingredients inside of it
-
Wipe the bottom of the removable inner pot and the heating plate. Now place the removable inner pot back into the PRESSURE COOKER. Turn the removable inner pot gently so that it is well seated on the heating plate
-
Check that the lid seal ring and steam plate are correctly installed inside the lid
-
Now place the lid back on to the cooker, closing it properly. The lid features a safety lock pin. The safety lock pin will depress (become exposed) when the lid is properly closed
-
Place the pressure limiting safety valve (vent) in the “CLOSE” position and check whether the float valve is down. Note that the float valve is down before heating
-
Plug the PRESSURE COOKER into the main electrical outlet and turn the PRESSURE COOKER on. You will notice that the heating light turns on and the LED screen will display 00:00. The cooker is now in standby mode
-
Select your preferred pre-programmed 1-touch setting
-
The screen will display the default pressure for that setting, for example, P12. The button indicator light for the selected pre-programmed setting will illuminate
-
Press the START button to finalize your selections and start the cooking cycle. You will notice that the pressure indicator light (Low, Mid, or High) will also illuminate Note that if the START button is not pressed within 20 seconds then the cooker will revert to standby mode.
NB! The cooking time does not start until there is enough heat and the pressure level has been reached. -
While the cooker is heating up, the first two digits on the LED screen will flash.
NOTE : if the pressure limiting safety valve is not placed in the “CLOSE” position then it will vent and release steam during the cooking cycle, resulting in foods being cooked under insufficient pressure Once sufficient pressure has been generated inside the pot, the float valve will automatically rise, further locking the lid. Do not force the lid open. You can press the CANCEL button at any time to cancel your previous selections or to cancel the current cooking cycle. In the instance where you press the CANCEL button for this reason, the display will show “0000” -
Once the cooking cycle has been completed, the cooker will enter WARM mode. Three indicator sounds will be heard indicating that the cooking cycle has moved over to the keep warm cycle. The WARM indicator light will now illuminate and the display will show “bb” When you are ready to begin releasing or venting pressure, set the pressure limiting safety valve to the ” OPEN ” position. This will release all the pressure in the pot until the float valve has moved down. Once the float valve has moved down, the lid can be opened safely. Note : Do not release pressure ( OPEN ) if cooking foods with a high liquid content such as porridge, stew, or soup, until the pot has cooled naturally and the float valve has moved down/ dropped to avoid the hot liquid food from spraying from the vent pipe. You may cover the side of the cooker with a wet towel to speed up the cooling process, however, do not rinse the cooker with water at this time.
-
Unplug the Cord from the main electrical outlet as well as from the cooker.
-
Hold the lid handle tightly and turn the lid in a clockwise direction to unlock, lift, and remove it from the cooker.
Note : During cooking, the heating plate will cycle on and off intermittently. This is normal as it does so to maintain the correct balance of temperature and pressure inside the cooking pot. A small amount of water may appear between the removable inner pot and the cooker’s inner walls – this is normal.
Note:
The following scale pertains to cups of rice:
- 3L – 6 cups of rice
- 4L – 8 cups of rice
- 5L – 10 cups of rice
- 6L – 12 cups of rice
The ratio of rice to water is usually 1:1 (one cup of rice to one cup of water)
TIP : Rice will taste better if it is kept warm for no longer than 10 minutes with the lid remaining closed. The taste of rice will be affected if cooking utensils are left in the pot.
BLOCKAGE-PROOF COVER CLEANING
After removing the steam plate, clean the blockage-proof cover gently.
FLOAT VALVE CLEANING
Move the float valve up and down gently by hand. Rinse the seal ring of the
float valve with water.
