Important Safeguards (cont’d)
This appliance has a 3-prong (grounding) plug for use in a 3-prong (grounding)
outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock. This appliance should only be
used with a 120V, 60Hz grounded outlet. Failure to follow these instructions could
result in fire, electrical shock, serious injury or death.
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, contact a qualified electrician to install a
3-prong (grounding) outlet. Do NOT attempt to modify the plug in any way. Do NOT
use an adapter or an extension cord that is not rated for use with this product. Failure
to follow these instructions could result in fire, electrical shock, serious injury or death.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
1. A short cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in
or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a long detachable power cord or extension cord is used:
• The marked electrical rating of the detachable power supply cord or extension
cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
• If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be the
same type 3-wire.
• The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop
or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coaster or placemats between the appliance
and the finish of the countertop or tabletop. Failure to do so may cause the nish

How to Use
Pressure Cooking
DANGER: Steam will exhaust through pressure/steam regulator knob and can
cause burns, scalding and serious injuries.
CAUTION: Keep hands and face away from pressure/steam regulator knob while
heat and steam escape.
CAUTION: Always wear an oven mitt or other heat protective glove to turn pressure/
steam regulator knob when releasing pressure.
CAUTION: NEVER force open lid. Lid will open when pressure has been fully released.
CAUTION: Tilt lid away from you when opening to avoid injury from steam.
IMPORTANT: Foods such as applesauce, cranberries, oatmeal or other cereals,
peas, pasta or rhubarb should NOT be cooked under pressure. These types of
foods tend to foam, froth and sputter, which may block the floating valve.
Tips
• Always use at least 1½ cups (12 oz.) of water or liquid in your recipes to
enable enough steam to be created to produce pressure.
• NEVER fill cook pot more than ⅔ full with water or liquid.
• NEVER fill cook pot more than ½ full with food.
• Only use non-metal utensils when filling with or removing food from cook pot,
to avoid scratching the nonstick coating.
• When cooking beans, add a tablespoon of oil to the water to reduce the
amount of foaming.
• For best results, use low pressure when cooking fresh fruits.
• When cooking frozen meats, add an 10 extra minutes for every inch of thickness.
• When unsure of how much time to cook under pressure, it’s best to under
cook and use the quick release method to check for doneness.
To Use
1. Place appliance on flat, level and heat-resistant surface.
2. Check that the rubber gasket and the pressure/steam regulator knob are clean
and positioned properly.
3. Insert cook pot, swiveling so that the tabs are locked under tab plates.
4. Place charring cup with lid over element in cook pot, to keep element dry.
5. Place food and at least 1½ cups of water or liquid into cook pot.
6. Put on lid and slide locking lever to the left to secure.
7. Plug cord into outlet. Display will show --:--.
8. Turn the pressure/steam regulator knob to pressure.
9. Press the pressure setting button on the control panel. The light above high
pressure (15 psi) will illuminate.
10. To select the low (2.5 psi) or medium (7.5 psi) pressure setting, press the “+” or
“-” buttons until the light above the desired setting illuminates.
11. Press the pressure setting button a second time to confirm setting.
12. After the pressure setting is set, the display will flash the default cook time of
15 (minutes). Use the “+” or “-” buttons to change the cook time from 1 minute
to 2 hours.
