IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
The product you have purchased is a state of the art appliance. It adheres to
all of the latest safety and technology standards; however, as with any electric
appliance, there are some potential risks. Only operate this cooker following the
instructions provided and only for its intended household use.
PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW BEFORE USING THE
APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME.
• Read all of the instructions contained in this manual before using the appliance.
• This product is not intended for commercial or outdoor use; it is only for
household and indoor use.
• Do not operate the unit if the electric cord or plug is damaged. If the appliance
is not working correctly, has been dropped or damaged, left outdoors or
submerged in water, discontinue use immediately and contact our customer
service department at 1-855-928-6748.
• The multi-cooker has a NEMA 5-15P, 3 pins plug and a 47.24 inch power
cord.
• Attach the plug to the multi-cooker base first, then insert the power plug into
a power outlet. Always ensure that the power cord is completely dry.
• Do not let the electric cord hang over the edge of the table or counter.
• Do not let the electric cord touch hot surfaces.
• If using an extension cord to connect the multi-cooker, please note that a
damaged extension cord can cause the unit to malfunction. Always check
your extension cord for damage and be sure it is compliant with the required
voltage. For safety, be sure to arrange the cord so that it can’t be pulled on by
children or tripped over unintentionally.
• Do not place the multi-cooker near heat-emitting devices such as heaters,
gas cooktops or electric burners. Do not place the cooker in a heated oven.
• Always use the multi-cooker in a well-ventilated area.
• Using accessories or replacement parts that are not recommended or sold by
the manufacturer may cause damage to the multi-cooker or personal injury
• Children need close adult supervision at all times when they are in or around
the kitchen. Keep this appliance out of the reach of children.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• While in operation, do not cover the appliance or position it near flammable
materials including curtains, draperies, walls, and fabric upholstered furniture.
• Do not open the pressure cooker until the unit has cooled and all internal
pressure is fully released. If the handles are difficult to push apart, this indicates
that the cooker is still pressurized – do not force it open. Any pressure in the
cooker can be hazardous.
3
ENGLISH
• Always cook in the removable cooking pot of the multi-cooker. Cooking without
the removable cooking pot may cause an electric shock or damage to the unit.
• Never deep fry or pressure fry in the cooker. It is dangerous and may cause a fire(s)
and severe damage.
• Never cover or block the pressure valve with anything. This blocking may cause
over pressurizing and lead to serious accidents.
• While you’re cooking, the lid and the outer stainless steel surface of the cooker
might get hot. Handle with care and carry or move the cooker using only the side
handles. Be very cautious when moving any appliance containing hot food or
liquids.
• Keep hands and face away from the pressure regulator knob when releasing
pressure from the cooker to avoid being scalded by hot steam.
• After cooking, use extreme caution when removing the lid. Serious burns can
result from residual steam escaping from inside the unit. Lift the lid facing away
from you and allow the drops of water to trickle back from the lid into the cooker.
• Always unplug and let cool before cleaning and removing parts. Never attempt to
unplug the unit by pulling on the power cable. Keep unplugged when not in use.
• To reduce the risk of an electric shock, never immerse the plug, power cable
or housing in water or any other liquid. Only the removable cooking pot can be
cleaned in the dishwasher.
• Only qualified experts may repair and perform maintenance work on the electric
multi-cooker using authentic ZAVOR replacement and accessory parts. Never
attempt to disassemble and repair the multi-cooker yourself.
• This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding injury.
Make sure the unit was closed correctly before operating. See “Pressure Cooker
Program.”
• Do not fill the unit over 2/3 full. When cooking with foods that expand such as
rice or dried vegetables, do not fill the removable cooking pot more than 1/2 full.
Overfilling may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and will not have enough
room for the proper building of pressure. See “Operating Functions.”
• The following foods tend to foam, froth and/or sputter: applesauce, cranberries,
pearl barley, oatmeal, split peas, noodles/pasta or rhubarb. These items may block
the pressure valve if filled too high in the removable cooking pot. Please be sure
when pressure cooking these items do not fill the removable cooking pot more
than halfway.
• Always check the pressure release devices for clogging before use.

4. Floating Valve: The floating valve controls the amount of pressure inside the
cooker by allowing excess pressure to be released.
5. Y-Shaped Gasket Attachment: Sits on the underside of the lid and creates
an airtight seal needed for the cooker to build up pressure. Check the silicone
gasket for any tears or cracks before using any of the pressure cooking
functions. To remove the attachment, hold the center of the Y (not just the
silicone nub) and pull. The ring will detach making for more accessible gasket
removable and replacement. To reattached, place the silicone centerpiece
back on the steel tip and push down until correctly replaced. To order a
new gasket, please contact a ZAVOR Representative at 1-855-928-6748 or
purchase it directly on the ZAVOR website at www.zavoramerica.com.
6. Safety Pressure Valve: The safety pressure valve allows excess pressure
to escape from the cooker when being used for pressure cooking. It works
independently of the floating valve.
7. Anti-Blocking Case: Pull it towards yourself to release the pressure
regulator knob for cleaning.
8. Condensation Reservoir: Collects excess condensation during cooking. If
there is some liquid in the reservoir after cooking, empty it.
9. Heating Element and Temperature Sensor: Both elements regulate the
cooking temperature inside the pot.
10. Removable Cooking Pot: Stainless steel pot is dishwasher safe, but hand
washing is always recommended.
11. Stationary Pot: This pot cannot be removed from the electric multi-cooker
and should NEVER be used for cooking. Before cooking, make sure to place
the removable cooking pot into the stationary pot first. All ingredients should
be placed into the removable cooking pot ONLY.
12.Stainless Steel Rack: Used to keep food off the floor of the inner pot to
prevent them from sitting in their juices/fats. Allows for better steam flow/
6
ENGLISH
distribution when pressure cooking or steaming foods. The handles make for
easy transporting of the rack.
NOTE: When cooking smaller sized foods, make sure they do not fall through
the grates on the rack.
13. Control Panel: The easy to use controls allow you to select the different
programs available with the touch of a finger. The panel is equipped with 4
icons that let you know which stage of the cooking process the multi-cooker
is at. Also, on the control panel you can find the HIGH and LOW indicator
lights which blink while pressure or temperature is building. These three
lights turn solid once the unit has reached proper pressure or temperature.
Getting Started: Before First Use
Read the safety instructions found in this manual before plugging in and
operating the unit. Before using the multi-cooker for the first time, follow
these steps:
1. Remove all packing materials and literature from within the ZAVOR LUX™
EDGE Multi-Cooker. Lift out the removable 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.
2. Wash all the 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.
3. To clean the pressure regulator knob, gently push the pressure regulator
knob down and at the same time turn the pressure regulator knob
counterclockwise past STEAM to the CLEAN setting. Once the white dot on
CLEAN is aligned with the white dot on the base of the pressure regulator,
you can lift the pressure regulator up and out of the lid. Look through the
holes of the pressure regulator to make sure nothing is obstructing, and then
clean the pressure regulator knob with warm soapy water, allowing the water
to run through the pressure regulator to remove all particles.
4. To put the pressure regulator back onto the lid, align the CLEAN setting with
the white dot on the base, gently push down on the pressure regulator and
turn the knob clockwise until it slides back into place.
5. Make sure the silicone gasket is seated correctly inside the lid or else the
cooker cannot function properly.
6. After thorough drying, place the removable cooking pot back into the multi-
cooker before cooking.

Pressure Cooking Program
This program allows food to cook faster under pressure by reducing cooking
time up to 70% compared to traditional cooking methods. Pressure cooking is
fast, easy, safe and healthy!
1. Before every use, make sure the silicone gasket and the pressure regulating
valves are clean and correctly placed within the cooker.
2. Plug the cord into a wall outlet.
3. Place the removable cooking pot into the cooker, and add the ingredients
following the recipe. When cooking foods under pressure, a minimum of 1
cup (8 oz.) of liquid is required.
NOTE: Do not fill the pot more than 2/3 full of food and liquid. Do not fill the
unit more than ½ full when cooking foods that expand during cooking.
NOTE: The following foods tend to foam, froth and/or sputter: applesauce,
cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal, split peas, noodles/pasta, or rhubarb.
These items may block the pressure valve if filled too high in the removable
cooking pot. Please be sure when pressure cooking these items to not fill the
removable cooking pot more than halfway.
4. Place the lid on the cooker; aligning the locking pin on the handle with the
unlocked symbol and turn your lid counterclockwise until it locks into place.
You know when this unit is locked once you hear the pin click into place.
5. Turn the pressure regulator knob to PRESSURE.
11
ENGLISH
6. Choose the desired cooking mode by pressing the PRESSURE COOK
button once for HIGH pressure and twice for LOW pressure.
7. Set the desired cooking time by pressing the + or - buttons once for each
additional minute or to fast advance, hold the button down until you reach
the desired time. The maximum pressure cooking time is 6 hours.
8. Press the START/STOP button to begin cooking. The pressure Icon and
indicator lights flash when the unit has begun to build pressure. If you forget to
select the desired cooking time or forget to press the START/STOP button, the
unit beeps and the digital display reads --:-- after 30 seconds.
9. Once pressure builds entirely, all the lights and the pressure icon stay lit, and
then the unit beeps. Then, your cook time begins.
WARNING: NEVER TRY TO FORCE THE LID OPEN WHILE YOU ARE
COOKING UNDER PRESSURE. THIS CAN RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
WARNING: NEVER DEEP FRY OR PRESSURE FRY IN THE MULTI-COOKER.
IT IS DANGEROUS AND MAY CAUSE A FIRE AND SERIOUS DAMAGE.
10.The cooker beeps once the cooking time ends. It turns the automatic KEEP
WARM function on and the light on the TIME DELAY/KEEP WARM button,
as well as the temperature icon, blinks until you press the START/STOP
button to cancel the program or release the pressure. You have two options
for releasing the pressure:
a. Quick Release Method: Release the pressure immediately by turning the
pressure regulator knob to STEAM.
CAUTION: THE STEAM COMING OUT OF THE COOKER IS HOT, AND MIGHT
CONTAIN DROPLETS OF HOT LIQUID. BE SURE TO USE POTHOLDERS
OR A KITCHEN TOWEL WHEN RELEASING PRESSURE.
b. Natural Release Method: Turn the KEEP WARM function off by pressing
the START/STOP button: this allows the pressure to drop naturally without
turning the pressure regulator knob to STEAM. Natural Release Method
takes several minutes, during which the food inside continues cooking.
Some recipes (such as risotto) benefit from this extra cooking time. You
know when the pressure is all released because the floating valve drops, and
you will be able can open the lid.
NOTE: If you do not press the START/STOP button at the end of the cooking
time, the multi-cooker switches to KEEP WARM and will beep periodically to
remind you to release pressure.
11.Once all the pressure is released, remove the lid by turning it clockwise,
lifting, and tilting the lid away from yourself to avoid any remaining steam or
hot water condensation dripping from the inner portion of the lid.

Pressure Cooking Meat/Poultry: To achieve best results when cooking meat/
poultry, please refer to the below tips and hints:
1. Cut meat/poultry into pieces of uniform size for even cooking.
2. When mixing meats, cut those that cook more quickly into larger pieces and
those that cook more slowly into smaller pieces.
