Controls and States of the Cooker

Operation Keys

The 2 operation keys include “Taste” and “Delay Timer” keys. The “Taste” key is used to adjust cooking duration except “Sauté”. The “Delay Timer” key is used to preset cooking.

Function Keys

The most important key is “Keep warm/Cancel”. When the cooker is being programmed or any program is in effect, press this key will cancel the program and take the cooker to standby state. When the cooker is in standby state, pressing this key activates the keep-warm program.
The other function keys include “Preset (+/-)”, “Rice”, “Curry”, “Porridge”, “Broth/Dal”, “Beans”, “Steam”, “Vegetables”, “Meat”, “Stew”, “Soup”, “Poultry” and “Sauté” keys.

Before the First Use

Before the first use, please take out all accessories from the package and read this manual carefully. Please pay particular attention to operational instructions and cautions to avoid any injury or property damage. Please wash the inside of the lid and the inner pot with warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe the outer housing with a clean damp cloth. Never immerse the cooker housing in water or any other liquid. The inner pot, sealing ring and exhaust valve and all accessories are dishwasher safe. But never clean the lid and housing in a dishwasher.

Remove and lnstall the Anti-Block Shield

The anti-block shield can be removed by pushing it on the side to lift it up. To install the anti-block shield, position it in place and press it down .ANKO-MY-CS6002WP1-Electric-Pressure-Cooker-fig-5

Remove and lnstall the Sealing Ring

The sealing ring can be removed by pulling upwards from the sealing ring rack in sections. To install the sealing ring, pressing it down into the rack section by section. The sealing ring can be installed on either side facing up.

Please note the following:

  • Prior to each use, inspect to make sure the sealing ring is well seated in the sealing ring rack and the anti-block shield is mounted properly on the steam release pipe.
  • After use, remove any foreign objects from the sealing ring and anti-block shield.
  • Keep the sealing ring clean to avoid odor. Washing the sealing ring in warm soapy water or dishwater can remove odor. However, it is normal for the sealing ring to absorb the smell of certain acidic foods.
  • That is why it is always a good idea to have more than one sealing ring on hand.
  • Never pull the sealing ring by force, as the pulling may cause deformation and affect its function in sealing the pressure.
  • A sealing ring with cracks, cuts or other damages should not be used.
  • A new sealing ring replacement should be used.
Safe Lid Opening

Safe Lid Release:

  1. Make sure the pressure cooking program has completed or press “Keep warm/Cancel” key to terminate the program.
  2. Wait until the pressure cooking program has completed or press the “Keep Warm/Cancel” key to terminate the program.
  3. Unplug the cooker and remove the power cord.
  4. Allow the cooker to cool down until the float valve drops down. This may take 10 to 14 minutes.
  5. Once the float valve has dropped down, open the exhaust valve by turning the valve handle to the left towards the steam symbol.
  6. Hold the lid handle and turn the lid to the right until the unlock symbol align with the lid position mark
  7. Lift the lid off the pot. Attention: Do not open the lid until pressure inside the pot is completely released. See Important Safeguards.

Quick Release:

  1. Wait until the exhaust valve has stopped emitting steam. To speed up the cooling down process, you can place a wet towel on the lid.
  2. Slowly open the exhaust valve by turning the valve handle to the left towards the steam symbol. Wait until the float valve has dropped down.

Attention: Keep hands and face away from any escaping steam. It is very hot and can cause scalding. See Important Safeguards.
Note: A Quick Release is not suitable for food in large liquid volume or with high starch content (e.g. porridge, congee, soup, etc.) because food may be expelled with steam. In this case, use the Safe Lid Release method instead.

  • Caution: Do not open the lid until pressure inside the pot is completely released. As a safety feature, until the float valve drops down, the lid is locked and cannot be opened.

Cooking Preparation

  1. Open the lid
    Holding the lid handle with your hand, rotate approximately 30 degrees clockwise until the ” ” mark on the lid is aligned with the ” ” mark on the cooker housing rim.

  2. Check whether all parts on the lid are assembled properly Check the float valve and exhaust valve for obstructions. Make sure that the sealing ring is well seated inside its holding rack, the anti-block shield is installed properly and the float valve can move up and down easily.

  3. Take out the inner pot, and put in food and liquid the total amount of food and water should NEVER exceed the maximum level marking of the inner pot. It is recommended that you do not fill the unit over 2/3 full. When cooking foods that expand during cooking such as rice, beans or dried vegetables, do not fill the unit over 1/2 full. Overfilling may risk clogging the vent pipes and developing excess pressure. This could also cause spillage and may damage the unit.

  4. Place the inner pot inside the cooker housing
    Before that, be sure to remove foreign objects and wipe dry the outside of the inner pot and the heating element inside of the cooker.ANKO-MY-CS6002WP1

    When opening the lid, the inner pot may appear to be stuck on the lid by vacuum. This is caused by the contraction of air due to cooling.ANKO-MY-
CS6002WP1-Electric-Pressure-Cooker-fig-17

NOTE:

If you no need to change the default cooking duration, skip the fourth step.

Preset Cooking

Your cooker has a preset function to delay the start of cooking for between 30 minutes and 15 hours. The preset function does not apply to the “Keep Warm”, and “Sauté” functions. The following shows how to program for preset cooking.

  1. Follow steps in the previous “Pressure Cooking” section to set a cooking program.

  2. Within 10 seconds after program selection, press “Delay Timer” and “preset(+/-)” keys to set the preset time.

  3. The time is the delayed time before the program starts. Please allow sufficient cooking time and cooling down time before serving.
    10 seconds after last key press, the “Preset” function starts, the time on LED display counts down, and the “Preset” indicator lights up.

  4. To cancel the Preset operation, press the “Keep warm/Cancel” key at any time.

  5. Products to make an appointment time for an appointment start time, decrease the appointment time to 0, begin to enter functions work, rather than go into heat preservation. PLEASE NOTE:

  6. We highly discourage using the preset function for perishable foods, such as meat and fish, which may go bad when left at room temperature for hours. Cooked rice may yield overly soft texture due to long soaking time. It may also cause a layer of burned rice at the bottom of the cooker if it is left in Keep-Warm mode for too long.

  7. Care should be taken when using Preset function for porridge, oatmeal or other foamy and sticky foods. Because of the possibility of these foods gumming up the float valve, if your cooker is overfilled, causing it to never seal and leading to overflowing food content, it is highly recommended that your cooker not be filled more than 1/2 full and ideally not be left unattended during the preheat cycle.

Sauté

  1. Follow steps in the “Cooking Preparation” section of this manual. Keep the lid open to avoid pressure from building up inside the cooker.
  2. Contact power cord. The LED display shows ” ” indicating that it is in standby state.

  4. Heating starts automatically in 10 seconds. Time shows on the LED display and starts to count down, indicating that the heating state is progress.
  5. To avoid pressure building up, the lid cannot be closed. Or else this can be hazardous.
  6. The “Sauté” program can be cancelled by pressing the “Keep warm/Cancel” key at any time.
  7. When cooking finishes, the cooker beeps and automatically goes into standby state. If you need more time, simply press the “Sauté” key again.

WARNING:

Pressing the “Keep warm/Cancel” key in standby state activates the “Keep Warm” function. When “Keep Warm” function starts, the keep warm indicator is bright, and “OH” is shown on the screen.
