The instructions to be followed are represented by the following symbols.

■

result in death or serious injury.

Indicate a potential hazard which could result in injury or damage to property.

Be sure to observe the following precautions

The pressure cooker poses

a safety hazard as the temperature

and pressure inside become

extremely high once it is heated.

Please carefully observe the

following instructions.

This symbol indicates an action that is prohibited.

WARNING

● Do not place the product in a location accessible by children.

(So as not to cause burn, injury or electric shock.)

● Maximum cooking volume must not exceed the up to MAX scale on the pan.

• Do not use any object that

rapidly reacts to heat and generates foams such as a large amount of oil or baking soda.

● Do not use if the main body is in one of the following states (  page 8).

(So as not to release the pressure safely or steam leak.)

• There are foreign objects such as white rice stick inside

the main body (around the pan packing, nozzle and pressure valve, etc.).

• The nozzle cap is clogged or not installed.

• The inner lid is deformed or not properly installed.

● When in use or immediately after cooking, do not put your face or hands near the steam vent or touch high temperature parts (including the pressure indicator pin).

(So as causing burns, or causing vapor burns from the steam.)

• Pay extra attention to children.

● If there is pressure remains in the pan, (when the pressure indicator pin has not dropped  page 6), please do not force to open the outer lid.

(So as not to bounce the outer lid, leading to food splatter and causing burns.)

Do not open the outer lid before the pressure is completely



released (the pressure indicator pin is dropped).

● Do not attempt to do the followings.

(So as not to cause fire, electric shock or injury.)

• Immerse the main body in water or splash

water on the main body.

Notes

● Do not touch the steam vent until the pressure indicator pin has dropped. (So as not to cause burn)

※ Because of temperature, voltage or other reasons, “Exhausting” may still appear in the display when the pressure

indicator pin is dropped, which is not a malfunction.

● When cooking white rice or brown rice, after opening the outer lid, please stir and loosen the white rice immediately. (In order to distribute excess water)

● Time required for the cooking is “The set time” + “13 ~ 100 minutes”. (

Start

• The above “The set time” indicates the cooking time only after the pressure inside the pan has risen to the set level. The displayed time does not change until the pressure has risen to the level, but it is not a failure.

• The more the amount of ingredients, the longer time it takes until the pressure has risen and to let stand the cooked food.

• The food is cooked further during exhausting period by remaining heat.

How to Use

Preparation

Preparation before Operation

Put the ingredients into

the pan and place the pan in the main body.

● Whenever cooking the maximum volume (ingredients + water), the MAX scale on the pan must not be exceeded.

Up to the “MAX” scale

Maximum cooking volume of food that swells during the cooking process such as beans and noodles (including seasoning).

● Before place the pan in the main body, wipe off the water or foreign object around the pan.

Confirm whether the

nozzle cap, the pressure valve and the inner lid are installed.

● If the nozzle cap is not installed, nozzle clogging may be caused, and exhaust steam can not be done  Do not open the outer lid until it cools down.

Press down the nozzle cap properly until the spring clamp is into place.

• Before installing the nozzle cap,

make sure there is no oil or blocking on the nozzle cap, nozzle and pressure mandrel.

● Before installing the inner lid, make sure that the pressure valve is installed. If the pressure valve is not installed, the pressure cooker will have steam leakage, resulting in the failure of the pressure to reach the set value.

How to Choose Course

According to IngredientsAccording to Cooking Purposes

Press

[Waterless Recipes], [White Rice], [Meat], [Beans/Tendon], [Soup], [Fish/Steam] button, then press [Start] button to begin cooking. Pressure Select and Time Setting do not need to be selected.

Pressure Select Time Setting Tips

※ Except white rice, the cook time can be

adjusted for the functions mentioned above according to ingredients or preferences.

● [Auxiliary Cooking] button is used to flavor or sauce after pressure cooking, and not for cooking ingredients difficult to cook.

● [Exhaust Steam] button is used when you want to open the outer lid. (During cooking and when cooking is finished)

● If the aforementioned cooking results are unsatisfactory, cooking can be conducted through “Pressure Select” and “Time Setting”, specifically

※ Time Setting

● Time required for the cooking is “The set time” + “13 ~ 100 minutes”.

● Cooking time will differ according to the size of ingredients even if ingredients are the same. The smaller the ingredients, the shorter the cooking time.

Table 2

Fruit and easily softened ingredients. Such as: apples, strawberries, etc.

Making jam at low pressure will not destroy nutrients.

Relatively soft or easy to cook ingredients. Such as: crucian, jujube, taro, etc.

Vegetables cooked at medium pressure will not clump or break apart.

Relatively hard or diffi cult to cook ingredients. Such as: meat, soybeans, etc.

Small fish cooked at high pressure can be consumed whole and is conducive to the absorption of calcium.

● When handling ingredients before cooking, it is recommended that the steaming plate attachment be used for steaming. Steaming preserves nutrition more completely, and retains more vivid colors.

● Similar ingredients should be cut into similar sized pieces.

● When cooking different ingredients at the same time, cut

the easily cooked ingredients into larger pieces and cut the difficult cooked ingredients into smaller pieces.

● When seasoning or adding vegetables, please conduct [Auxiliary Cooking] after cooking is completed.

● Set cook time

● The pan does not need to be replaced

• Cut the same ingredient into the same size; when cooking different ingredients at the same time, cut the easily cooked ingredients into larger pieces and cut the difficult cooked ingredients into smaller pieces.

• Cooking time can be freely adjusted according to personal tastes and preferences.

• When using the same ingredients and size for cooking, no matter how much is cooked, the required time setting will always be the same.
