WARM button to confirm the temperature, and the screen switches to the
default time of 12 hours. Use the + and - buttons to adjust warming time.
5. Press the START/STOP button to begin the program. The temperature icon
blinks while the temperature is rising. Once the unit has come to temperature,
the icon turns solid, and the timer begins to count down.
6. Since pressure is not building when warming food, you can open the lid to
check on your food as needed. To turn the program off, press the START/
STOP button once.
NOTE: When using any of the main cooking programs, the KEEP WARM
function automatically starts after the cooking time ends. If pressure or slow
cooking, the pressure or slow icon turns off and the temperature icon turns
on when the unit has switched to KEEP WARM. The food stays warm until
you press the START/STOP button to cancel the program.
Time Delay Function
This function is part of the TIME DELAY/KEEP WARM button; it allows you to
delay the cooking process up to 6 hours. You can use the delay time setting
after choosing any of the main cooking functions.
CAUTION: DO NOT LEAVE PERISHABLE FOODS SUCH AS MEAT, POULTRY,
FISH, CHEESE AND DAIRY PRODUCTS AT ROOM TEMPERATURE FOR MORE
THAN 2 HOURS (OR MORE THAN 1 HOUR WHEN THE ROOM TEMPERATURE
IS ABOVE 90°F). WHEN COOKING WITH THESE FOODS, DO NOT SET THE
DELAY FUNCTION FOR MORE THAN 1-2 HOURS.
1. Select the desired cooking program by pressing the function button and
adjusting the time and temperature/pressure (if permitted) as needed.
2. Press the TIME DELAY/KEEP WARM button. The timer icon and displayed
time of 00:30 (meaning a half hour of delay) will blink, press the + or – buttons
to adjust the desired delay time needed.
3. Press the START/STOP button to begin the Time Delay countdown. The
time on the display turns solid, but the timer icon and button light blink as the
delay time begins to count down. The multi-cooker will begin cooking after
the delay time has elapsed.
EXAMPLE: It is 11:30 a.m. and you want your dinner to be ready by 6 p.m. Your
recipe calls for 12 minutes of high pressure cooking. First press the pressure
cook function once and then adjusting the time with the + button until it reads
00:12 minutes and then press the Time Delay button once and then the + button
until the panel reads 06:00 hours. Next, you press the START/STOP button, and
you're all set! The cooker will start cooking at 5:30 p.m.

Mute Feature
If you would like to disable all the beeps from the multi-cooker, you may do so
by pressing and holding the + and - buttons simultaneously until the display
shows the word MUTE. All beeps, including button presses and unit notification
sounds, become disabled for the duration of the use.
To unmute the multi-cooker, press and hold the + and - buttons simultaneously
until the display shows the word BEEP and then the unit produces two beeps to
unmute all beeps.
NOTE: If you mute the multi-cooker and then unplug it after use, this disables
the mute feature, and the unit becomes unmuted for its next use.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Do not wash any parts of the multi-cooker in the dishwasher except for the
removable cooking pot. Always wash the removable cooking pot thoroughly
after every use, or if it has not been used for an extended period of time.
1. Unplug the multi-cooker and let the unit cool before cleaning.
2. Remove the removable cooking pot and wash with warm soapy water or in
the dishwasher. However, hand washing is always recommended. Rinse and
dry thoroughly.
3. Wipe the outer housing with a clean damp cloth and rinse the lid with warm
water and soap. Do not submerge the multi-cooker or the lid in water.
NOTE: To remove an odor from the inside part of the lid, clean it with water
and vinegar (1:1 ratio).
4. Remove the condensation reservoir by pulling it down. Wash with warm,
soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Replace by pushing it back into
place.
5. Carefully remove the y-shaped silicone gasket attachment by grasping the
center of the metal "Y" and pulling. Remove the silicone gasket from the
metal ring. Clean the silicone gasket with warm soapy water. Rinse and
dry thoroughly. Place the gasket back on the metal ring and then place the
Y-shaped attachment back onto the lid by placing the silicone centerpiece
back on the steel tip and pushing down.
NOTE: The silicone gasket must always be positioned correctly on the
underside of the lid; otherwise, the unit cannot work. Check periodically to
make sure that it is clean, flexible, and not cracked or torn. (See "Getting
