The cooking time will then start blinking to show it can be adjusted. Change the

between pressure level and cooking time.
7. After you press the START/STOP button, the screen will turn green and it will
display the programmed pressure setting and time at the top. You will also see
the preheat icon <preh on the bottom of the screen.
NOTE: If you forget to press the START/STOP button, the unit will beep twice
after 30 seconds, the light on the screen will turn off and the unit will return to
standby mode.
8. Once pressure has been reached, the unit will beep and it will start to count down
your cooking time. The floating valve located on the lid will rise indicating that
there is pressure inside the unit.
WARNING: NEVER TRY TO FORCE THE LID OPEN WHILE YOU ARE COOKING
UNDER PRESSURE, THIS CAN RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
WARNING: NEVER DEEP FRY OR PRESSURE FRY IN THE MULTI-COOKER. IT IS
DANGEROUS AND MAY CAUSE A FIRE AND SERIOUS DAMAGE.
9. When the cooking time ends, the unit will beep and switch to the KEEP WARM
function, which will be displayed on the screen as
periodically to let you know that there is pressure inside the unit. Once you
release the pressure, the unit will stop beeping and will remain on the KEEP
WARM function. Press the START/STOP button to cancel the program.
10. After the cooking time is up, release the pressure. You have two options for
releasing the pressure:
a. Quick Release Method: Release the pressure immediately by turning the
pressure regulator knob to STEAM.
CAUTION: THE STEAM COMING OUT OF THE COOKER WILL BE HOT, AND
MIGHT CONTAIN DROPLETS OF HOT LIQUID. BE SURE TO USE POT HOLDERS,
OVEN MITTS OR A KITCHEN TOWEL WHEN RELEASING PRESSURE.
b. Natural Release Method: Release the pressure by shutting the unit off
completely. This allows the pressure to drop naturally without turning the pressure
regulator knob to STEAM. This will take several minutes, during which the food
inside will continue cooking. Some recipes (such as quinoa) benefit from this
extra cooking time. You will know when the pressure has been released because
the floating valve will drop and you will be able to open the lid.
11. Once all the pressure is released, remove the lid by turning it clockwise, lifting it
up and tilting it away from yourself to avoid getting burnt by any remaining steam
or hot water condensation dripping from the inner portion of the lid.
WARNING: AFTER COOKING, THE REMOVABLE COOKING POT WILL BE HOT.
USE POT HOLDERS, OVEN MITTS OR A KITCHEN TOWEL TO HANDLE IT OR
LET IT COOL DOWN BEFORE REMOVING.
