•

Remove all packing materials and literature from within the Multi-cooker. Lift the inner cooking pot and remove any pieces of paper from under it. Remove the plastic protection from the control panel and any stickers from the lid or stainless steel housing.

Wash all removable parts in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry all parts thoroughly. Wipe the stainless steel outer housing with a clean damp cloth. NEVER submerge the stainless steel outer housing in water or any other liquid. Only the removable cooking pot is dishwasher safe.

Make sure the silicone gasket is seated properly inside the lid. To make sure it has been fitted correctly, fill the removable cooking pot with water up to twothirds full, and cook on HIGH PRESSURE for 15 minutes. Release the pressure by turning the pressure regulator knob to STEAM. The steam is released and the floating valve will drop. If steam is not being released, the gasket probably hasn’t been fitted correctly and the cooker hasn’t built up any pressure: re-adjust the gasket to make sure it is fitted properly, and repeat this step.

Let the appliance cool to room temperature and then empty and clean.

11..

22..

33..

44..

Before every use, make sure the silicone gasket and the pressure regulating valves are clean and in place.

Plug the cord into a wall outlet.

Position the removable cooking pot in the Multi-cooker, and add the ingredients following the recipe. When cooking foods under pressure, a minimum of 1 cup (8 oz) of liquid is required.

SSAAFFEETTYY NNOOTTEESS::

- Do not fill the pot more than 2/3 full with food and liquid. Do not fill the unit more than ½ full when cooking foods that expand during cooking.

- The following foods should not be cooked under pressure: applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal, split peas, noodles, pasta or rhubarb. These foods tend to foam, froth and sputter, and may block the pressure valve.

WWAARRNNIINNGG::

NEVER TRY TO FORCE THE LID OPEN WHILE YOU ARE COOKING UNDER

PRESSURE.THIS CAN RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

WWAARRNNIINNGG::

NEVER DEEP FRY OR PRESSURE FRY IN THE MULTI-COOKER. IT IS DAN-

GEROUS AND MAY CAUSE A FIRE AND SERIOUS DAMAGE.

NOTE: If you do not press the START/STOP button at the end of the cooking time, the Multi-cooker will beep periodically to remind you that the cooking has ended.

WWAARRNNIINNGG::

AFTER COOKING, THE INNER COOKING POT WILL BE HOT. USE

POTHOLDERS TO HANDLE IT OR LET IT COOL DOWN BEFORE REMOVING.

Rice Cooking Program

This is a 6-minute program for cooking dishes such as rice, polenta and risotto. If you prefer your grain steamed instead of cooked, use a removable steamer basket (not included).

11..

Position the removable cooking pot in the Multi-cooker.

Quick release method:

release the pressure immediately by turning the pres-

sure regulator knob to STEAM. All the pressure will be released in seconds.

CCAAUUTTIIOONN::

THE STEAM COMING OUT OF THE COOKER WILL BE HOT, AND MIGHT CONTAIN DROPLETS OF HOT LIQUID. ALWAYS TURN THE JET OF STEAM AWAY FROM YOUR FACE AND HANDS.

Natural release method:

let the pressure drop naturally without turning the pressure regulator knob to “Steam”. This will take several minutes, during which the food inside will continue cooking. Some recipes (such as risotto) benefit from this extra cooking time. You will know when the pressure has been released because the floating valve will drop and you will be able to open the lid.

The Multi-cooker will beep once the cooking time ends. It will turn the automatic “Warm” function on until you press the START/STOP button to cancel the program. After pressing the START/STOP button, release the pressure. You have two options for releasing the pressure:

Once all the pressure is released, remove the lid by turning it clockwise, lifting it up and tilting it away from you to avoid being scalded by some remaining steam or hot water condensation dripping from the inner part of the lid.

1100..

1111..

Add the appropriate amount of grain to the liquid, following the grain to liquid ratio indicated by the recipe. Do not fill the pot more than half-full.

Place the lid on the Multi-cooker; align the handle with the condensation collector, and turn it counterclockwise until it locks into place. The locking pin will click into place. Turn the pressure regulator knob to PRESSURE.

Press the RICE COOK button. The light on the RICE COOK button will flash and the digital display will read “6”

Press the START/STOP button to begin cooking. The indicator light will stop flashing. The program will cook for 6 minutes from the moment it builds the right amount of pressure. If you forget to press the START/STOP button, the unit will beep twice and the digital display will read 0.0 after 30 seconds.

When the cooking time ends, the unit will beep and automatically turn the “Warm” function on until you press the START/STOP button to cancel the program.

Press the SLOW COOK button. The light on the SLOW COOK button will flash and the digital display will read “.5” - this equals one half hour of cooking time.

Set the desired time by pressing the SLOW COOK button once for eachadditional half hour or by continuously holding the button down. The longest cooking time is 9.5 hours with a temperature of 180ºF. NOTE: The temperature for this function is equivalent to the low heat setting on a traditional slow cooker. Most recipes using this temperature setting require 8-9 hours of slow cooking.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Do not wash any parts of the Multi-cooker in the dishwasher except for the removable cooking pot. Always wash the Multi-cooker thoroughly after every use, or if it has not been used for an extended period.

11..

Unplug and let the unit cool before cleaning.

ENGLISH

Remove the removable cooking pot and wash with warm soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Wipe the outer housing with a clean damp cloth. Do not submerge in water.

Remove the condensation reservoir by pulling it down. Wash with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Replace by pushing into place.

Turn the lid upside down; grip the silicone gasket and pull up to remove. Clean the silicone gasket with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Replace the gasket by positioning it inside the edge of the lid and pushing

it down. Make sure the groove in the center of the gasket is positioned around the metal ring on the inside edge of the lid. NOTE: The silicone gasket must always be properly positioned on the underside of the lid; otherwise the unit will not work. Check periodically to make sure that it is clean, flexible, and not cracked or torn. (See pg. 10 “Getting started”)

If the silicone gasket appears damaged, cracked or torn, do not use the unit and contact our customer service department at 1-800-207-0806.

For optimal performance, the bottom of the Multi-cooker, in the area under the removable cooking pot where the temperature sensor and heating pad are located must be cleaned after each use. Wipe with a soft damp cloth and be sure to dry thoroughly.

Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to clean any of the parts. NOTE: Store the Multi-cooker with the lid resting upside down on top of the removable cooking pot. This will protect the valves, knobs and pressure regulator on the top of the lid. If the Multi-cooker is stored with the lid sealed, stale odors may form inside.

Press down and at the same time turn the pressure regulator knob counterclockwise past the STEAM setting and carefully lift to remove. Look through the holes to make sure there is no particle build up, and put it under running water.

Turn the lid over and place on a table top. Pull out the anti-locking case. Using a brush or toothpick, check and remove any food or foreign particles that may be lodged in the floating valve. Replace the anti-locking case by pressing down.

Replace the pressure regulator knob by lining the two notches up to the

inside wall of the pressure regulator chamber in the lid and turning clockwise. The white button on the lid should line up with the pressure or steam setting on the pressure regulator knob. If it doesn’t, remove the knob again and try realigning the notches the other way around.

To ensure best cooking performance when cooking under pressure, always use at least 8 oz. of water or liquid in your recipes to create enough steam to produce pressure.

When using the high and low pressure settings, the timer should not begin counting down until there is enough pressure. If after a reasonable time the counter hasn’t started counting down, it can mean one of three things:

When cooking under pressure, if you are unsure of the cooking time, it is better to under cook and use the quick release method and check for doneness.

Never fill the Multi-cooker more than 2/3 full. The Multi-cooker must have enough liquid space within the unit to generate steam or the food will not cook properly. If you are cooking foods that expand during cooking, do not fill more than half full.

If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your Multi-cooker appliance may not operate. The Multi-cooker should be operated on a separate electrical circuit.

Tougher, less expensive cuts of meat are better suited for the pressure cooking program because cooking under pressure breaks the fibers down for more tender results.

Fresh fruit should be cooked on low pressure.

Add a tablespoon of oil to the water to reduce the amount of foam produced by dry beans.
