18. Extreme caution must be exercised when moving an appliance containing

hot oil or other hot liquids. Do not move the appliance when under

pressure.

19. Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet.

20. Do not use on plastic or synthetic tablecloths or any unstable place or near

flammable goods including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, as fire

may occur.

21. Never damage the sealant washer or replace it with other rubber washer

or tension washer.

22. Never twist the inner steel ring with your hands or other tools. If the steel ring

slips off place, do not use the appliance until it has been placed back

28. Do not use metal utensils on the cooking bowl surface, as they will scratch

the non-stick coating. Wooden or plastic ladles are recommended.

29. Do not fill the pressure cooker more than 4/5 full with liquids and food.

When cooking foods that may expand when cooking, do not fill the unit

over 3/5 full. Over filling may risk clogging the steam release and

developing excess pressure. This may also cause leakage, personal injuries,

or damage to the cooker. These level warnings do not apply to non-

pressure-cooking programs.

30. When cooking food under pressure, at least 1/2 cup of water (4 Oz) must

be added. Be careful, as the system heats very quickly.

31. Foods such as applesauce, cranberries, oatmeal or other cereals, peas,

noodles, pasta, or rhubarb should not be cooked under pressure, as these

foods tend to foam, froth, and sputter, which may block the floating valve.

32. WARNING! Keep hands and face away from the pressure regulator knob or

valve when releasing the pressure.

33. Do not open the cooker until the cooker has cooled and all internal

pressure has been released. If the float valve is still up or the lid is difficult to

turn, it is an indication that the cooker is still pressured – do not force it

open.

34. Make sure the steam release knob is in the sealing position for all the

pressure-cooking programs.

35. Always check the steam release valve, float valve and anti-block shield for

clogging before use.

*The actual cooking times for each setting can and will vary depending on the

quantity of food and water used.

**Cooking cakes in the pressure cooker works better with a heat-proof cake

pan placed inside the pressure cooker as opposed to placing the batter

directly into the pressure cooker. We recommend using tinfoil over the pan to

prevent sogginess or burning. Remember to always use heat-proof gloves

when removing items or food from your pressure cooker.

‘Slow cook’ setting

This program enables you to cook food at low temperature, in liquids,

for an extended period. Slow cook is a non-pressure-cooking function.

• Place the food to be slow cooked in the cooking pot with the

minimal amount of liquid required.

• Place the lid on the pressure cooker and lock it in place by turning it

counterclockwise, make sure the steam release knob is in the

venting position The floating valve should not rise during the slow

cook process and the lid should be removable throughout the

cooking process as well.

• Press the ‘Slow Cook’ button. The cooker will start automatically

after five seconds.

• - Time set for the slow cooker increases in 30 minutes with each

press of the slow cook function. The slow cook function is

16

www.KALORIK.com

EPCK 47464 - 200605

programmed with a range of cooking time from 0.5 hours to 12

hours. By default, the unit is set to the ‘Normal’ mode with a 8-hour

cooking time indicated in the display. After the five seconds, the

time will start to countdown.

• If you accidentally set too much time, press the “Keep

Warm/Cancel” button to cancel the set time and start over.

‘Sauté’ setting

Use the” Sauté” or browning function to brown meats or caramelize

vegetables. Searing or browning ingredients keeps them moist, tender,

and flavorful. The sauté preset is a non-pressure cooking function that

can be used in place of a frying pan on a stove top.

• Always ensure the lid is removed from the appliance before using

the ‘Sauté’ function. Do not use a lid during this cooking process.

• Add a small amount of oil or butter to the bottom of the removable

cooking pot.

• Place the food in the cooking pot.

• Once the pressure cooker is turned on and in standby mode, press

the ‘Sauté’ button to select the function.

• Adjust the time up or down, depending on your desired cooking

time. The default cooking time is 15 minutes.

Note: For optimal results, meat searing should be done in small

batches to prevent meat from overlapping.

• When finished, you may press the “Keep Warm / Cancel” button to

keep your food warm. Use tongs to remove ingredients.

• If you use the pressure cooker to cook after you sauté your food,

remember to add in water or liquid as the unit will not work and it

may scorch.

‘Delay Start’ setting

This function allows you to begin cooking food up to 24 hours later.

Delaying can be done at 30-minute increments and at a minimum of

30 minutes of delay.

Caution: Perishable foods such as meat and poultry products, fish,

cheese, and dairy products cannot be left at room temperature for

17

www.KALORIK.com

EPCK 47464 - 200605

more than 2 hours (no longer than 1 hour when the room temperature is

above 90°F). When cooking these foods, do not set the delay start

function for more than 1-2 hours!

• If you wish to set back starting time, select ‘Delay start’ and keep

pressing the ‘Delay start’ button to adjust the time to your desired

starting time. Time can be delayed in 30 minutes increments. The

delayed start preset light will turn on.

• Select one of the preset functions to validate the delayed start and

select a cooking mode and adjust time or pressure, as necessary.

• The appliance automatically starts the delay time countdown 5

seconds after the selection of a preset. When the delay time has

expired, the display will show 00 and the indicator light on the delay

time button will turn off. Cooking will now automatically begin.

‘Keep Warm’ setting

This program reheats or keeps cooked food warm for extended periods

of time. This mode is automatically selected after the cooking time is

elapsed, unless the ‘Keep Warm/Cancel’ button is pressed to stop the

unit. ‘Keep Warm’ can be started directly without any other cooking

process. To do this, once the pressure cooker is on standby mode, press

the ‘Keep Warm/Cancel’ button. The display will show as ‘bb’. Food

can be kept warm up to 24 hours.

This mode can be entered at any time during cooking by pressing the

‘‘Keep Warm/Cancel’’ button twice.

Note: The unit will turn to ‘keep-warm’ automatically after it finishes a

cycle of pressure cooking, but some residual pressure might still be

present in the cooking pot. You can release this pressure manually or

simply wait for the pressure to release naturally. Never attempt to

remove the lid while there is still pressure inside the pot.

PRACTICAL HINTS FOR PRESSURE COOKING

• To ensure the best cooking performance when cooking under

pressure, always use at least 1/2 cups of water or liquid in your

18

www.KALORIK.com

EPCK 47464 - 200605

recipes to enable enough steam to be created to produce

pressure.

• When using the pressure settings, the timer will not begin counting

down until enough pressure is created.

• When cooking under pressure, if you are unsure of the cooking time,

it is better to under cook and use the quick release method and

check for doneness. If not done, just continue cooking under

pressure.

• Never fill the pressure cooker more than 4/5 full of food or with

liquid.

• If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your

appliances may not operate. The pressure cooker should be

operated on a separate electrical circuit.

• Tougher cuts of meat are better suited for the pressure cooker

because cooking under pressure breaks the fibers down for tender

results.

• Add a tablespoon of oil to the water to reduce the amount of

foaming that beans produce.

• You can use frozen meats and poultry. Rule of thumb is, if it is frozen

then add ten minutes for every inch of the thickness of the food.

Cooking rice

For better results, always rinse rice until the water passing through it runs

clear before cooking. Cook rice in liquid such as water or broth.

rice.
