Remove all packaging materials. Please locate the power cord before throwing away packaging materials.
Clean the inner pot and lid with hot water, dish soap, and non-abrasive sponges only.

USING THE APPLIANCE

Open the lid with the control panel facing you. Grasp the lid handle and turn the lid clockwise until the arrow aligns with the Unlocked icon.
Add the ingredients into the insert pot, in the pressure cooker.
Food and liquid cannot exceed 2/3 of the cooking pot height.
For food that expands in water, the liquid level cannot exceed 1/2 of the cooking pot height.
Close the lid by turning the lid on the pressure cooker so the arrow aligns in the Locked position icon. See image below:
In order to cook under pressure, the lid must be correctly installed and secured.
Set the time and temperature by using one of the cook presets or the manual setting. The cooking time can be increased by pressing the plus or minus buttons. The pressure can be adjusted between Low, Med, and High by using the “Adjust Pressure” button.
Once the time and temperature are set, the cooker will automatically enter start mode and 4 red dashes will display and begin. Once the correct pressure has been reached, the set time will display and beg into count down.7. After pressure cooking is complete, the cooker will beep and enter “Keep Warm” mode while the cooker is naturally releasing pressure.
Be sure to press the “Keep Warm/Cancel” button to turn off the “Warm”. CAUTION: If the lid does not open easily, there is still pressure inside the cooker. DO NOT open the lid by force.
The pressure can be released manually using the pressure release button. Always use caution when manually releasing pressure as hot steam will be released from the valve. If a recipe states that the pressure needs to be released on its own, let the cooker sit for 10-30 minutes depending on the amount of contents inside the unit. Be sure to press the pressure release button before attempting to open the lid.
There is no pressure in the cooker when :
The unit is in warm mode
The pressure and steam escaping from the valve is no longer audible
The lid opens easily without force
Remove the lid by twisting from the lid handle. The lid will not open unless all the pressure has been released. Never force open the lid. If it does not open freely, it is still under pressure.
To prevent over-cooking, press the “Keep Warm/Cancel” button to turn the “Warm” mode off.

CLEANING

BE SURE TO CLEAN THE COOKER AND ITS PARTS AFTER EVERY USE.

Switch the pressure cooker to the Unlocked position, unplug and allow to cool completely before cleaning.
Wash inner pot, condensation cup and lid in hot water with dish soap. Rinse and dry thoroughly. To clean the condensation cup, remove from the side of the cooker. Once clean and dry, snap the condensation back onto the side of the cooker.
Wipe the exterior of the pressure cooker with a soft damp cloth and dry surfaces with a soft dry cloth. Do not use detergent or abrasive brush or sponges as they will scratch the coating.

NOTE: Never immerse or place water inside the pressure cooker housing .
