7. Close the lid and turn the lid knob clockwise
to lock into place. The cooker alert will sound
when the lid has been locked. Check that the
safety locking pin is properly aligned with the
opening in the lid arm and is not restricted
in any way.
8. Ensure the pressure release valve is placed on
the lid, is properly seated in position and facing
the lid knob.
9. Press the START / SELECT dial to commence
cooking. The STOP / CANCEL button backlight
will illuminate red, the LCD screen will
illuminate orange, 'PREHEATING' will appear
and the pressure bar on the left will climb to
indicate the cooker is building pressure.
NOTE
It is normal for the cooker to release small bursts
of steam as it stabilises its internal pressure.
10. If the lid has not been locked correctly 'LOCK
LID' will appear on the LCD screen. Turn
the lid knob clockwise to lock the lid and
commence cooking.
11. Once the cooker has reached pressure,
the 'PREHEATING' will go out, the cooker alert
will sound, the timer will start counting down
and the pressure bar will indicate the current
pressure in the vessel.
12. The time can be adjusted during the pressure
cook cycle by turning the TIME dial. The cycle
can be paused at any time by pressing the
STOP / CANCEL button. To end the cycle
press and hold STOP / CANCEL for 2 seconds.
If there is already pressure in the vessel it will
go immediately to the steam release cycle.
13. At the end of the pressure cook cycle, the
cooker alert will sound and steam will be
automatically released through the pressure
release valve. The steam icon will blink, the
timer will start counting up and the pressure
bar will decrease, indicating the current
pressure in the vessel. If NATURAL steam
release is selected, pressure will naturally
subside in the vessel without forcing steam
through the pressure release valve. The steam
release setting can be changed during the
steam release cycle by pressing the STEAM
RELEASE button.
14. At the end of the steam release cycle, the
cooker alert will sound, the LCD will illuminate
blue and the timer will start counting up.
15. Open the lid by turning the lid knob counter
clockwise and carefully lift the lid into the
hinged open position.
16. After 5 minutes of inactivity, standby mode will
be activated. The button backlight will go out
and the LCD will no longer illuminate.
CAUTION
To avoid scalding from escaping steam, never
place your face or hands over the cooker when
removing the lid.
NOTE
If the lid will not unlock this indicates the appliance
is still under pressure. Do not force the lid open
as any remaining pressure can be hazardous.
Press the STEAM RELEASE button until all internal
pressure is released and the lid opens easily.
