Getting the best from your new appliance...

Safety

Always keep hands and face away from Pressure Release Valve, when venting pressure.

Use extreme caution when removing lid after cooking. Always tilt the lid away from you, so any remaining steam is blocked from your face.

Never attempt to open lid while cooking, or before pressure has dropped. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature by forcing it.

Do not cover or block the valves.

Do not touch the pot or lid except for the handle immediately after using.

To avoid burns, allow food to cool before tasting. The temperature of the food gets considerably hotter than with conventional cooking.

Add the meat to the pan and stir regularly until the outside of the meat is sealed / browned.

When the timer reaches zero, the Rapid Cook will beep and the cooking process will stop. If your meat is sealed before the 15 minutes is up, hold down the Keep Warm / Cancel button ·. The Rapid Cook will beep and the cooking process will stop.

At the end of the cooking process the product will beep and automatically switch to keep warm. Keep warm will last for up to two hours, but you cancel this at any time by pressing the Standby button ‚. Then release any excess pressure still contained within the cooker, by putting on oven gloves and moving the release valve to the ‘VENT’ position. This will allow steam to escape under pressure from the vent
