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.

4

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.

until all of the pressure is released.

3. Cool-Touch Handles: The cool to the touch handles of the multi-cooker

allow for safe handling and opening of the lid.

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/

7

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.

12

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.

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

meat becoming tough and flavorless.
