Built-in safety features

1. Float Valve protection
   It will ensure there is no pressure produced when the lid and the body don’t match well.
   Please open the lid to release the remnant pressure to make sure the safety of opening and closing the lid.

2. Safety Valve and anti-blockage protection
   The safety valve will release the air automatically when the inner pressure exceeds the limited pressure. And the anti-blockage cove prevents the pressure valve from clogging.

3. Opening and closing protection
   When the temperature in the inner pot is too high, the lid cannot be opened.

4. Overpressure and self-releasing protection
   When the inner pressure is abnormal, the excess pressure protection will be activated, shifting the inner pot downwards to create a gap between the lid and the inner pot. Steam will be released from the gap into the internal chamber simultaneously disconnecting the coil.

5. Over-temperature protection
   When all the protection devices don’t work, and the inner pressure comes up to the maximum, the fuse will be burned, and the power will be cut-off automatically to avoid accidents.

6. Pressure self-control protection
   When the inner pressure is high the inner pot will move downwards to touch the switch to stop heating. And it will restore heating when the pressure comes down.

7. High-temperature protection
   When the inner pressure comes up to the maximum, the temperature control switch will cut off the power automatically to stop heating.

8. Anti-dry-burn protection
   When the inner pot is in the state of dry-burn, the temperature control switch will cut off the power automatically to stop heating.

**Using the inner pot for the first time

**

Use a cleaning agent to clean the inner pot and dry it. Then apply some edible oil to the non-stick coating and use a clean rag and kitchen paper to remove the excess oil on it.

Selection of cooking tools

Use spoons and spatulas made of wood or thermal-resistance plastics to avoid scratches on the coating. Avoid using sharp metal tools.

Cooking the crustacean food

Crustacean food like the crabs and lobsters may have sharp edges which may also scratch the non-stick coating after they are put into the cooker for frying. Avoid using this appliance whenever you cook such foods.

Thorough cleaning after every use

Clean the inner pot with water and a cleaning agent using a sponge to ensure the oil stains will be fully removed. If not, these oil stains will be burned and stuck on the inner pot on your next use.
Caution: Please do not strike the cooker or put the inner pot directly on the burner for cooking so as to avoid damaging the coating or affecting the safety of the inner pot.

How to operate

• Open the lid by holding the lid handle tightly and turn it clockwise to the edge-limit place and then lift the lid.

• Take out the inner pot and put the food and water into it. The quantity of food and water should not exceed 4/5 of the height of the inner pot while for the food which easily swells in water, the quantity should not exceed 3/5 of the height of the inner pot. The quantity of food and water should not be less than 1/5 of the height of the inner pot. See the illustration below.

• For cooking the rice, the maximum quantity of rice for models 3L, 4L, 5L, and 6L is 6cups, 8cups, 10cups, and 12cups, respectively, and the proportion between the water and rice is 1:1. If it is for congee, the proportion between the water and rice should be 8:1. The proportion may be adjusted based on personal taste or cooking experiences.
• Put the inner pot into the outer pot but before doing so, the bottom of the inner pot and the heating disk should be clean and no foreign object should be on the surface. After the inner pot is put into the outer pot, you can turn the pot slightly leftward and rightward to make sure that the inner pot contacts the heating disk properly.

• Cover the cooker with the lid. Before that, check to see if the seal ring has been put into the lid, and use your hand to slightly turn the supporting cap for the seal ring leftward and rightward so that it can be evenly placed on the lid. Then use your hand to hold the lid handle tightly and put it on the edge limit place. And then turn the lid counterclockwise to the locking place. A sound of “racking” is heard to indicate that the lid is in the proper position.

• Turn the air outlet valve to the “ ” will be seen and check to see if the float valve is fallen down (the float valve should be fallen down before heating).

Recipe

Braised lamb shanks – Pressure cooker recipe

Ingredients

2 tomatoes
4-6 lamb shanks, French trimmed if possible
1/4 cup plain flour or 1/4 cup gluten-free flour
8 teaspoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 carrots, peeled and thickly sliced
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped or 1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon lemon rind, finely grated
3/4 cup red wine
1/4 cup beef stock or 1/4¼cup vegetable stock Salt
Fresh ground black pepper
4 teaspoon plain flour (optional for thickening gravy) or 4 teaspoons gluten- free flour (optional for thickening gravy)
8 teaspoons cold water (optional for thickening gravy)

Directions

• Peel the tomatoes, remove the calyx and cut into quarters. If you prefer, you can drop the tomatoes into boiling water for one minute and then refresh them in ice-cold water- this makes removing the skins easier.
• Toss the shanks in the flour (You can do this in a large plastic bag for a no-mess cleanup.) Shake off any excess flour. Discard excess flour.
• Heat half of the oil in the cooker (no lid) and brown the shanks, two at a time if necessary. Remove and set aside.
• Add the remaining oil and the onion, carrots, and garlic. Fry for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the tomatoes, oregano, lemon rind, wine, and stock. Bring to the boil, stirring well, for a few minutes.
• Return the lamb shanks to the cooker and season well with salt and pepper. Spoon some of the sauce and vegetables over the meat. Close and lock the lid. Set cooker to
• High  Pressure and cook for 25 minutes.
• Carefully release pressure from the cooker and check the meat is cooked. The meat should be very tender and almost fall off the bone. Cook a further 5 minutes if required.
• If you would like the gravy a little thicker- add the remaining flour to the cold water and stir until smooth. Simmer gravy and add the flour paste in slowly until the gravy is thicker.
• Serve with mashed potato and green veg — or baked tiny tomatoes. The green or red really adds color to the plated meal.
