cooker. Use handles only.
4. This appliance should not be used
by or near children or individuals with
certain disabilities.
5. NEVER ATTEMPT TO OPEN LID
WHILE THE UNIT IS OPERATING.
Do not open the pressure cooker until
the unit has cooled and all internal
pressure has been released. If lid is
difficult to rotate, this indicates that
the cooker is still pressurized. Do not
force it to open. Any pressure in the
cooker can be hazardous. See
Operating Instructions, page 5.
6. Do not place the pressure cooker in a
heated oven or on any stovetop.
7. Extreme caution must be used when
moving a pressure cooker containing
hot liquids or foods.
8. Do not use the pressure cooker for
other than intended use.
9. This appliance cooks under pressure.
Improper use may result in scalding
injury. Make certain unit is properly
closed before operating. See
Operating Instructions, page 5.
10. Do not fill unit over
cooking foods that expand during
cooking, such as dried vegetables,
legumes, beans, and grains, do not
fill the unit over ½ full. Overfilling may
cause a risk of clogging the pressure
limit valve and developing excess
pressure.
11. To protect against electrical shock,
do not immerse cord, plugs, or outer
vessel in water or other liquids.
3
⁄5 full. When
12. Unplug from outlet when not in use
and before cleaning. Allow to cool

desired cooking function. The function
light will flash.
After Selecting Browning, Sauté,
or Simmer
Press START, and unit will begin to heat
up. When browning, sautéing or
simmering is complete, press START/
CANCEL to cancel and cover the cooker
as directed. Wait 2 to 3 minutes to allow
inner pot to cool slightly. Press MENU

After Selecting Low or High Pressure
Press TIME to select number of minutes
needed for pressure cooking. Time
increases in 1-minute increments up to
40 minutes. Time increases in 5-minute
increments of 40 to 99 minutes.
Once cooking time is programmed, press
START/CANCEL to start the cooking
process. As the unit heats up and
pressure builds, the red float will rise. The
amount of liquid and other ingredients in
the pressure cooker determines the
length of time needed for full pressure
to build – generally 5 to 40 minutes,
depending on the recipe. (A red blinking
dot on lower right-hand corner of LED
indicates the unit is on and heating up.)
Note: When full pressure is reached,
red light in the lower right-hand corner
of the LED will stop flashing and
remain lit. Pressure cooking will begin
and the timer will start to
count down.
The raised red float indicates you are
cooking under pressure. The lid is
double-locked and cannot be opened.
YOU SHOULD NEVER ATTEMPT TO
OPEN THE LID WHILE PRESSURE
COOKING.
Automatic Keep Warm Feature
When LED display reaches
pressure cooker automatically shifts to
Keep Warm temperature. The Keep Warm
light will turn on and unit will beep to

NOTE: The Keep Warm setting should not
be used for more than 12 hours. The
quality or texture of the food will begin to
change after 1 hour on Keep Warm. In the
Keep Warm setting, a little condensation
in the upper ring is normal.
To Reset or Cancel
Users can reset the function or cancel the
timing setup anytime by pressing the
START/CANCEL button.
To Remove Lid
When pressure cooking cycle is finished,
the unit will automatically switch to the
Keep Warm position. At this point you
may choose to release pressure in one
of three ways – Natural Pressure Release,
Quick Pressure Release, or a combination
of both. The choice will be dictated by
the particular food being cooked and
indications in the recipe. If adapting your
own recipe for pressure cooking, find a
similar recipe in our recipe booklet and
use that as a guide.
1. Natural Pressure Release – Following
pressure cooking, allow the unit to
remain on Keep Warm. The pressure
will begin to drop – time for pressure
to drop will depend on the amount of
liquid in the pressure cooker and the
length of time that pressure was
maintained. Natural Pressure Release
will take from 12 to 30 minutes.
During this time cooking continues,
so it is recommended for certain cuts
of meats and some desserts. When
pressure is fully released, the float
(pressure indicator) will drop and the
lid will unlock to open.
2. Quick Pressure Release – Following
pressure cooking you will hear a
series of beeps indicating the
process is finished. Turn off and
pull the handle of the pressure limit
valve forward (see figure 6). Do not
touch with your hand. Use tongs
or another tool.
5
6
Steam will immediately begin to
release through the valve. Keep face
and hands away from steam as it is
released, and do not release pressure
under hanging cabinets, which can
be damaged by steam. When pressure is fully released, the pressure
indicator will drop and the lid will
unlock to open. Using Quick Pressure
Release stops the pressure cooking
immediately. If further cooking is necessary, the unit may be returned to
Pressure, or the food may be further
cooked on the Simmer Setting.
3.
Combination Natural Pressure Release
and Quick Pressure Release – For
some recipes, we have chosen to use
a combination of Natural Pressure
Release and Quick Pressure Release.
Allow Natural Pressure Release for
the time indicated in the recipe (food
will continue to cook slightly) followed
by Quick Pressure Release.
WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION
WHEN RELEASING PRESSURE. USE
TONGS OR SIMILAR UTENSIL TO PULL
HANDLE OF PRESSURE LIMIT VALVE
FORWARD.
When the red float is completely down,
turn the lid clockwise and lift to remove.

Browning foods in a small amount of
fat in this way seals the outer
surfaces of meats and vegetables,
producing a visually appealing,
flavorful exterior with a moist, tender
interior. Browning reduces the time it
takes full pressure to build and
pressure cooking to begin.
4. Sauté – The preset temperature,
done prior to pressure cooking with
lid removed, allows you to quickly
soften vegetables in a small amount
of fat or liquid without browning, and
to cook items such as rice (Arborio,
brown, Carnaroli, white, etc.) for
pilafs and risottos. Sautéing reduces
the time it takes full pressure to build
and pressure cooking to begin.
5. Simmer – This preset temperature
allows you to cook liquids at a lower
temperature. It is primarily used to
finish cooking some items, e.g., to
add ingredients to a risotto, sauce,
or stew or to continue cooking
process to achieve preferred texture.
Simmering reduces the time it takes
full pressure to build and pressure
cooking to begin.
6. Keep Warm – Holds and keeps
cooked food warm for up to
12 hours.
SAFETY FEATURES
There are seven safety devices installed in
the pressure cooker to assure its
reliability.
1. Open-and-Close Lid Safety Device
The appliance will not start
pressurizing until the lid is closed
and locked properly.
The lid cannot be opened if the
appliance is filled with pressure.
2. Pressure Control Device
The correct pressure level is
automatically maintained during
the cooking cycle.
3. Pressure Limit Valve
The pressure limit valve will release
air automatically when the pressure
inside exceeds the preset
temperature.
6
Note: Overfilling the pressure cooker
(see Instructions for Use) may clog
the pressure limit valve, which can
cause excess pressure to develop.
4. Anti-Block Cover
Prevents any food material from
blocking the pressure limit valve.
5. Pressure Relief Device
When the pressure cooker reaches
the maximum allowable pressure and
temperature, the cooking pot will
move down until lid separates from
the sealing ring, releasing air
pressure.
6. Thermostat
The power will automatically shut off
when the cooking pot temperature
reaches the preset value, or the
pressure cooker is heating without
any food inside.
7. Thermal Fuse
The circuit will be opened when the
pressure cooker reaches the
maximum temperature.
7. To clean the rubber
grommet in center
of sealing ring
assembly, carefully
remove it, clean it,
and replace it.
