USING THE PRESSURE COOKING FUNCTIONS
Place the Multi-Cooker on a flat, level surface.
Place Cooking Pot inside Heating Base. Plug the Multi-Cooker into a wall outlet. The
Multi-Cooker will beep, and the Display Screen will illuminate with four dashes (- - - -).
1. Place your food and liquid inside the removable Cooking Pot.
2. Place the Lid onto the Multi-Cooker and align
counterclockwise to the LOCKED position.
3. Using the finger tab, rotate the Steam Release Valve to the "Seal" position.
4. Select the desired cooking function
5. Adjust the cooking time and pressure if necessary.
Note: See the Cooking Guide on page 13 to find the possible time and pressure
adjustments
6. Once you have made the desired adjustments, if any, press START/STOP.
7. The Multi-Cooker needs to gain pressure before pressure cooking can begin. When
the Multi-Cooker is gaining pressure, "HEAT" will appear on the Display Screen
and the time will not count down. The amount of time the Multi-Cooker takes to
gain pressure varies according to humidity and water temperature, but average
pressurization time is 13-15 minutes. When pressure has been reached, "HEAT" will
disappear on the Display Screen, and the time will begin to count down.
8. After the set cooking time has elapsed, the Multi-Cooker will beep and will
automatically switch to the KEEP WARM setting. The Display Screen will therefore
change from the cook time to a new timer that will count up to 4:00 (4 hours) or until
you press the START/STOP button. After 4 hours in the KEEP WARM setting, the
Multi-Cooker will go into stand-by mode, and the Display Screen will illuminate with
four dashes (----).
TIPS:
1. The pressure cooking settings are in the Cooking Guide table on page 13.
2. If the lid is not shut correctly or if the Steam Release Valve is not in the "Seal"
position, the Multi-Cooker cannot gain pressure and a NOTIFICATION message will
appear in the Display Screen. Ensure that the Sealing Gasket is placed evenly in the
lid. See the NOTIFICATION CODES chart on page 20.
3. It is common for some steam to release through the Bobber Valve during the cooking
cycle. This is part of normal operation of the unit.
Note: The Multi-Cooker cannot pressure cook without liquid. Ensure a minimum of 8oz of
liquid is used inside the removable Cooking Pot.
CAUTION: During cooking, steam will build up in the Multi-Cooker, so when lifting the Lid
use a kitchen glove or mitt to protect your hand.
