ENGLISH

• Do not open the pressure cooker until the unit has cooled and all internal

pressure has been 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.

• Always cook in the removable cooking pot of the unit. 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 and serious damage.

• Never cover or block the pressure valve with anything. This 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 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

1. Pressure Regulating Knob: Turn the regulating knob to the “Pressure” position when

cooking under pressure or when using the meat program, bean program or any of the

rice cooking programs. Turn the knob to the “Steam” position to release the pressure

after using any of the rice programs, beans program, meat program or pressure

cooking program. The pressure regulator knob needs to be turned to “Steam” when

using the steam function. When using KEEP WARM, be sure to turn the pressure

regulating knob to the “Steam” position and not to the “Pressure” position.

2. Self-Locking Pin: The lid will lock automatically when the lid is properly aligned and

closed. While cooking under pressure you will not be able to open the lid until all of the

pressure is released.

3. Cool-Touch Handles: The cool to the touch handles of the unit allows for easy

handling and opening of the lid.

4. Floating Valve: The safety-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 easier gasket removable and replacement. To reattached, simply

place the silicone center piece back on the steel tip and push down until properly

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 it is being used for pressure cooking. It works independently

from 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, simply empty it.

9. Heating Element and Temperature Sensor: Both elements regulate the cooking

temperature inside the pot.

10. Removable Cooking Pot: Aluminum pot with non-stick coating; dishwasher safe

pot, but hand washing is always recommended.

11. Stationary Pot: This pot cannot be removed from the electric pressure 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. Control Panel: The easy to use controls allow you to select the different programs

available with a touch of a finger. Available for selection are: two pressure cooking

settings, meat, beans, white rice, brown rice, risotto, brown, sauté, simmer, steam,

keep warm, time delay, start/stop and a plus and minus button to adjust cooking time

and time delay. Also, on the control panel you will find the HIGH and LOW indicator

lights which will blink while pressure or temperature is building. These three lights will

go solid once the unit has reached proper pressure or temperature.

Pressure Cooking Program

This program will allow 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

knob are clean and are properly 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 with 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 half way.

4. Place the lid on the cooker; aligning the protruding pin on the handle with

the condensation cup that shows the unlocked symbol, and turn your lid

counterclockwise until it locks into place. You will know when this unit has

been locked once you hear the pin click into place.

5. Turn the pressure regulator knob to PRESSURE.

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 99 minutes.

8. To set the delay timer, select the TIME DELAY button and use the + or –

buttons to adjust when cooking should begin. The delay time goes up in 1/2

hour increments.

9. Press the START/STOP button to begin cooking. The indicator light on the

PRESSURE COOK button will flash when the unit has begun to build pressure.

If you forget to select a desired cooking time or forget to press the START/

STOP button, the unit will beep twice and the digital display will read --:--

after 30 seconds.

10. As the pressure is building, the three circles next to the chosen pressure

setting will light up one at a time. The PRESSURE COOK button will also flash

until it has reached full pressure. Once pressure has been reached, all three

circles will turn solid red, the pressure cooker button indicator light will also

turn solid red and then the unit will beep. This is when your cook time begins.

11. The unit will then begin to count down in minutes once the appropriate

pressure has been reached. The floating valve which is located in the lid will

also rise when pressure has been reached.

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 UNIT. IT IS

DANGEROUS AND MAY CAUSE A FIRE AND SERIOUS DAMAGE.

12. The cooker will beep once the cooking time ends. It will turn the automatic

KEEP WARM function on and this function will blink until you press the START/

STOP button to cancel the program. After pressing the START/STOP button,

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 WILL BE HOT,

AND MIGHT CONTAIN DROPLETS OF HOT LIQUID. ALWAYS TURN THE

JET OF STEAM AWAY FROM YOUR FACE AND HANDS. BE SURE TO USE

POTHOLDERS WHEN RELEASING PRESSURE.

b. Natural Release Method: Allows the pressure to drop naturally without

turning the pressure regulator knob to STEAM. This will take several

minutes, during which the food inside will continue cooking. Some recipes

(such as risotto) benefit from this extra cooking time. You will know when

the pressure has been released because the floating valve will drop and you

will be able to open the lid.

NOTE: If you do not press the START/STOP button at the end of the cooking

time, the unit will switch to KEEP WARM and will beep periodically to remind you

that cooking has ended.

13. Once all the pressure is released, remove the lid by turning it clockwise,

lifting it up and tilting the lid away from you to avoid being scalded by some

remaining steam or hot water condensation dripping from the inner portion of

the lid.

WARNING: AFTER COOKING, THE REMOVABLE COOKING POT WILL BE

HOT. USE POTHOLDERS TO HANDLE IT OR LET IT COOL DOWN BEFORE

REMOVING.

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.

3. Brown meat in small batches – overcrowding the cooker can result in the

meat becoming tough and flavorless.
