Functions
BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Remove and safely discard any packaging
material, promotional labels and tape from
the cooker.
2. Open the lid by turning the lid knob
counterclockwise and lifting lid up and off
the appliance until it is in the hinged open
position. Unscrew and remove the sealing
nut from the center of the lid and pull the lid
away to remove from the lid arm.
3. Wash the lid, removable cooking bowl and
silicone lid seal in hot, soapy water, rinse
and dry thoroughly. Wipe the inside and
outside of the base with a soft, damp cloth
and dry thoroughly.
4. Attach the clean silicone lid seal securely
around the wire ring on the underside of
the lid. Adjust position if necessary, so that
it sits comfortably and is free from any
distortions.
5. To reattach the lid, orient the lid so that the
Steam Release Valve housing is to the rear
of the unit, and then align the center of the
lid with the bolt on the underside of the lid
arm and push into position to expose the
screw thread. Secure the lid by screwing on
the sealing nut so that the red seal touches
the lid surface.
