REFERENCE. WARNING YOU ARE WORKING WITH

HOT LIQUIDS. YOU MUST READ THIS BEFORE USE.

Before cooking

• ALWAYS ensure the INNER POT is in place before cooking.

• Food with skins (e.g sausages, chicken and fruit) MUST be pierced before cooking. Not
piercing the skin may result in the food expanding and may cause splashing of hot food after the
lid is released.

• Do not overfill the inner pot, only fill the pot to 2/3rds of its capacity.

Important Safety Information (cont...)

Pressure release methods

• When the programme is finished and you wish to commence pressure release press the
“Cancel” button to cancel the Keep Warm function.

• When releasing the pressure valve, always use tongs and please wear oven gloves to turn the
pressure valve to the open position. This will protect against hot steam. The valve will lift up
slightly and steam will release. The lid won’t open until the steam has vented and pressure has
released.

• When opening the lid food will be hot, please always wear oven gloves and an apron to protect
against any splashing of the hot food.

Quick release

Recommended for:

Quick cooking recipes and steaming, including
vegetables and seafood.

When the Keep Warm function has been
cancelled, move the pressure release valve to
the open position and only attempt to open lid
when all steam has released and the float valve
has dropped.

Leave the pressure cooker to stand for 1 - 2
minutes.

The Lid can now be opened, if the lid does not
open, wait a few more minutes and try again.
Never try to force the lid off as a locked lid is a
sign that the unit still has some pressure.

Float valve

Slow release

Recommended for:

Food with skins (e.g sausages, chicken and fruit)
and foods with large liquid volume or high starch
content (such as porridge, soup, pasta, rice, fruit
and grains, and also delicate foods such as meats
and potato) can trap air and cause the food to
foam and expand which may cause splashing of
hot food after the lid is removed.

To avoid any splashing, after you have cancelled
the Keep Warm function leave the pressure
release valve in the closed position and allow

pressure to release naturally. This can take 15
minutes or more. Recipe dependant.. When

the float valve has dropped, move the pressure
release valve to open to ensure all the pressure
is released.

The Lid can now be opened, if the lid does not
open, wait a few more minutes and try again.
Never try to force the lid off as a locked lid is a
sign that the unit still has some pressure.

Float valve

Wait at least 1–2 mins. Wait at least 15 mins.

For both methods, give the cooker a few gentle shakes while holding the base unit handles to

release any residual steam before opening the lid. There could still be steam held under the food that
has not yet broken the surface. Without gentle shaking, this steam could come to the surface even
several seconds after the lid has been removed.

NEVER FORCE OPEN THE LID

taking off parts.

• 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 authorised service
facility for examination, repair or adjustment.

• Do not use any attachments or utensils that
were not recommended or supplied by the
manufacturer. The use of attachments not
recommended for use by the manufacturer may
cause serious hazardous situations including
personal injury.

• Do not use outdoors.

• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or

counter, or touch hot surfaces.

• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric

• To cancel any function simply press the CANCEL button on the front of the
pressure cooker. If the function you were using was a pressurised function,
make sure to release the pressure before removing the lid – please see
page 22 on further instructions on how to release the pressure.

• When cooking fish or vegetables, to speed up the cooking time add hot
water to the inner pot. CAUTION: HOT WATER CAN SCALD.

• If the lid is hard to replace after use, either allow the lid, inner pot & outer
case cool down to room temperature or hold in place and push down for
a few seconds with the pressure release valve open. This will release any
pressure and the lid be easier to close.

• When connecting to a power socket, the LED display shows ‘0000’, this
shows the unit is in stand by mode.

• All food can be cooked from frozen but adjust the time accordingly.

• WARNING: ALWAYS SHAKE THE CONTENTS OF THE PRESSURE
COOKER A FEW TIMES BEFORE OPENING THE LID TO RELEASE ANY
TRAPPED STEAM.

• TO AVOID THE RISK OF SCALDING, OPEN THE LID VERY SLIGHTLY
TO ALLOW STEAM TO ESCAPE GENTLY.

• NEVER FORCE THE LID OPEN.

Care & Cleaning (cont...)

Cleaning the pressure cooker case:
Never immerse the outer case in
water or any liquid.

Wipe the outer case with a damp
cloth then dry thoroughly with a
soft dry cloth. Never use abrasive
cleaning agents.

Condensation cup: On the back of
the steamer under the hinge you will
find the condensation cup.

Pull the condensation cup outwards
off the mounting under the hinge.

Wash the cup out with warm soapy
water then dry with a soft cloth.

Slot the condensation cup back onto

• Check the gasket periodically to make sure it is clean and flexible, if it is
hard and inflexible, you need a replacement. Depending on what you
have cooked, you may notice a discolouration of the gasket, this is normal.
If you have cooked anything with a strong flavour, we recommend leaving
the gasket to soak overnight. DO NOT put the gasket in the dishwasher
as the heat could warp it and prevent your Pressure King Pro from working
correctly.

• Ensure that the float valve on the lid of the pressure cooker is not blocked
and can move up and down freely, wipe clean if necessary.

• The inner pot and lid are fully immersible in water for cleaning. Rinse the
inner pot and lid under hot running water, using only a mild detergent and
a soft cloth or sponge.

• Do not use abrasive powders, bicarbonate of soda or bleach. Never use
scouring pads.

• Wipe the base unit with a soft damp cloth, making sure oily food residue is
removed.

• DO NOT IMMERSE THE BASE IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.
