6 Qt. Pressure Cooker
HELPFUL HINTS
After the pressure cooker reaches the proper inside pressure, the 'pressure
cook time' light will turn red and the time will start counting down.
NEVER deep fry or pressure fry in the pressure cooker.
DO NOT set the preset timer for more than 1-2 hours when using perishable
foods. If the room temperature is 90°F or above do not set the preset timer for
more than 1 hour.
The rubber gasket creates an air tight seal that is needed for the pressure
cooker to operate properly. Check that it is in good condition and seated
properly before each use.
DO NOT hold the VENT knob when releasing pressure as it will release hot
steam and liquid into the air. Keep face averted while using short bursts to
release the steam.
Letting the pressure cooker cool until the pressure is released on its own is
another option for the pressure cooker.
When using the LOW and HIGH PRESSURE settings, the timer will not
begin to count down until the proper pressure has been reached.
If you are unsure of the exact time to cook when cooking under pressure, it is
always best to under cook and use the short bursts of steam to release the
pressure so you can check for doneness. If it is not done to your liking you
may continue to cook a few minutes longer under pressure.
Never fill the pressure cooker more than 1/2 full of food or 2/3 full of liquid.
The pressure cooker must have some liquid in it to create the steam and
pressure needed when pressure cooking.
If cooking fresh fruits, low pressure should be used.
If cooking beans you may add a tbsp. of oil to the water to reduce the amount
of foam that the beans can create.
Less expensive cuts of meat are ideal for cooking in the pressure cooker as the
fibers are broken down during cooking.
NEVER try to remove the lid before the pressure has been completely
released.
NEVER cover the top of the lid or the valve opening with a cloth or any other
object.
DO NOT use metal utensils with the cooking pot as it may scratch the non-
stick surface.
DO NOT use this pressure cooker for canning purposes.
DO NOT put frozen food in pressure cooker.
PLEASE NOTE: If smoke is observed, press the CANCEL button and unplug
the power cord immediately. Let the pressure cooker cool completely and try
again. If the smoke is observed again, press the CANCEL button and unplug
the power cord immediately. Please call the Customer Service Center.
