4 Turn the unit on. Press the PRESSURE
button, the unit will default to high (HI)
pressure. Set the time to 2 minutes and
press the START/STOP button to begin.
5 The unit will begin building pressure,
indicated by the rotating lights. The
unit will begin counting down when it
is fully pressurised
6 When the countdown is finished, the
unit will beep, automatically switch
to Keep Warm mode, and begin
counting up.
7 Turn the pressure release valve to the
VENT position to quick release the
pressurised steam. A quick burst of
steam will spurt out of the pressure
release valve. When steam is completely
released and the float valve drops down,
the unit will be ready to open.
NATURAL PRESSURE RELEASE
VS . QUICK PRESSURE RELEASE
Natural Pressure Release: Once pressure
cooking is complete, the pressure will start
to naturally release as the unit cools down.
During this time, the unit will switch to
Keep Warm mode. When natural pressure
release is complete, the float valve will
drop down.
NOTE: Press the KEEP WARM button if you
would like to turn Keep Warm mode off.
Quick Pressure Release: Use ONLY when
called for in a recipe. When cooking is
complete, the unit will switch to Keep
Warm mode. Turn the pressure release
valve to the VENT position to instantly
release pressure through the valve.
When quick pressure release is complete
the float valve will drop down. Even after
releasing pressure, some steam will remain
in the unit and will escape when the lid
is opened. Lift and tilt it away from you,
making sure no condensation drips into the
cooker base.
NOTE: At any time during the natural
release process, you can switch to quick
release by turning the pressure release
valve to the VENT position.

PRESSURISING

As pressure builds in the unit, the
control panel will display rotating lights.
Pressurising time varies, depending on the
amount of ingredients and liquid in the
pot. As the unit pressurises, the lid will lock
as a safety measure, and it will not unlock
until pressure is released. Once the unit has
reached full pressure. The cooking cycle will
begin and the timer will start counting down.
INSTALLING & REMOVING
THE PRESSURE LID
Place the pressure lid on top of the unit with
the on the lid and the on the base lined
up evenly. Turn the lid clockwise until it locks
in place.
To unlock the pressure lid, turn it
counterclockwise. Lift the lid at an angle to
prevent splatter. Do not lift the lid straight up.
NOTE: The pressure lid will not unlock
until the unit is completely depressurised.
WARNING: Serious burns can result from
the steam inside. ALWAYS lift and tilt the
lid towards you when removing.
