IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Always attach plug to appliance
first, before plugging into wall outlet. To disconnect, turn control to OFF, then remove plug from outlet.
3. Do not touch hot surfaces of pressure 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 before putting on or removing parts.
13. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.

BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove any packaging materials and promotional labels from your electric pressure cooker.
Be sure all parts have been included before discarding any packaging materials. You may want to keep the box and packing materials for use at a later date.
Before using your Cuisinart Pressure Cooker for the first time, remove any dust from shipping by wiping clean with a damp cloth. Thoroughly clean the cooking pot in the dishwasher or with warm soapy water. Rinse, towel or air-dry, and place in the pressure cooker.
1. Place the pressure cooker on a clean, flat surface.
2. Place the condensation collector in rear of the unit until it clicks into place (as shown below in figure 1; and #6 on diagram, page 3).
3. Place the pressure limit valve on the lid, as shown in figure 2. Note: The pressure limit valve does not click or lock into place. Even though it will have a loose fit, it is safely secured.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
With the unit on and the LED displayed, press the MENU button to select the 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 again and select Low or High Pressure function.
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 indicate cooking is complete.
, the
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.

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.
8. Replace sealing ring assembly in lid. BE SURE KNOB FACES OUT (figure 8).
9. Cooking pot is dishwasher safe. To hand-clean the pot, use a soft cloth or sponge and wipe. Be careful not to damage the inside coating. Never use harsh chemicals or scouring pads.
