w WARNING

Burn Hazard. Steam is hot. Avoid contact with steam. Use care when releasing

steam.

Cooking with pressure differs greatly from

normal cooking methods. A pressure cooker is

essentially a cooking pot with a sealed, lockable

lid and a valve to control pressure. Once the pot

is sealed, steam is captured and pressure builds

up, raising cooking temperature and dramatically

reducing cooking time. The pressure also forces

liquid into food so it stays juicy and tender

while deep, rich flavors develop quickly, and

the high temperature allows food to brown and

caramelize, despite the moist environment.

Pressure Level

Remember that pressure is measured in psi

(pounds per square inch).

This pressure cooker has 9 to 12 psi.

Releasing Steam

When the cooking cycle is complete, steam

must be released before the Lid can be opened.

There are two ways to release steam:

After cooking time ends, Cooker will switch

to WARM mode. Allow Cooker to cool down

naturally until Float Valve drops down and Lid

unlocks. This may take 10 to 30 minutes or

more, depending on amount of food. During

natural release, food is still warm and may

continue to cook for the amount of time it takes

to release steam.

Quick release – When cooking cycle is

complete, using an oven mitt, carefully turn

Steam Release Valve to ( ) to release steam

until Float Valve goes down. Be sure to keep

your oven mitt on with your face and arms

away from steam when releasing pressure.

Take a Test Run

1. Follow assembly instructions (see “How to

Assemble”), but pour in 2 cups (473 mL) of

water instead of food.

2. Place Lid on Cooker by matching arrow icon

on Lid with unlock icon on Base. Rotate Lid

clockwise to lock. Arrow icon ( ) and lock

icon ( ) should align.

3. Plug into outlet.

4. Select Pressure Cook mode by pressing

PRESSURE COOK button.

5. Adjust time to 2 minutes by pressing

+ or – buttons; Cooker will automatically

start within 3 seconds.

6. Display will show “ON” until pressure is

reached. Once reached, Pressure Cooker

will beep once, Lid will lock and cooking

time will start to count down. When cooking

cycle is complete, Cooker will beep 3 times

and switch to WARM mode.

7. Either allow pressure to naturally release,

or open Steam Release Valve to quickly

release.

8. When all pressure is released, Lid

will automatically unlock. Rotate Lid

counterclockwise to unlock. Remove Lid

carefully, allowing excess moisture on Lid to

drain back into Cooking Pot.

9. Press CANCEL to stop Cooker. Unplug.

to “Cooking Modes Chart” for descriptions,

recommendations, default cook times, and

time ranges for each mode.

1. Once Cooker is assembled (see “How to

Assemble”), add food to Cooking Pot.

• In order to create steam to build

pressure, pressure cooking requires

liquid in the Cooking Pot. Use a

minimum of 1 cup (237 mL) water or

other liquid.

• Do not fill Cooking Pot more than 2/3

full. For foods that expand such as

rice and beans, do not fill more than

1/2 full.

2. Press a mode to select. Once selected,

default cooking time will be displayed.

3. Adjust Cooking Time:

counterclockwise to unlock. Remove Lid

carefully, allowing excess moisture on Lid

to drain back into Cooking Pot.

• Be aware that certain foods, such as

applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley,

oatmeal or other cereals, split peas,

noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, or spaghetti

can foam, froth, and sputter, and clog the

pressure release device (Steam Release

Valve). These foods should not be cooked

in pressure cook mode.

Pressure Cooking Tips

• Cooking times for pressure cooker

recipes can be up to 70% faster than

traditional methods. To adapt recipes,

start by reducing time by half.

• The amount of liquid needed is much

less than traditional cooking methods.

To adapt favorite recipes to a pressure

cooker, reduce liquid by about half.

• Liquid is required to create steam and

build pressure in the Cooker. Always add

a minimum of 1 cup (237 mL) water or

other liquid.

• Fill Cooking Pot no more than 2/3 full. For

foods that expand such as rice or beans,

fill 1/2 full.

• Remember that the countdown for

cooking time will not start until pressure

has built in the Cooker and Lid is locked.

Average time is 10 to 15 minutes but can

be much longer.

• When cooking rice, use a 1:1 ratio for

rice to water. Rinse rice before cooking.

• Add 1 tablespoon (15 mL) oil to rice or

beans to reduce foaming and splattering.

• Beans do not require soaking, but

soaking beans for at least 3 hours will

yield softer, more consistent results.

• Steam foods by adding at least 1 cup

(237 mL) water to bottom of Cooking Pot.

Place food on Roasting Rack in Cooking

Pot. Press STEAM mode button and

follow desired recipe. Frozen vegetables

can be steamed from frozen state: add

1 to 2 minutes to the time indicated on

package directions.

10

Using Non-Pressure Cook Modes

Follow directions for assembling Pressure

Cooker in “How to Assemble.” Press mode

button to select. A default time will display.

To adjust cooking time, press + or – buttons.

• SAUTÉ mode can be used to brown

foods or sauté vegetables before

pressure cooking, slow cooking, or as

a function on its own. Lid should be off

while using this mode. SAUTÉ time will

start to count down when cooker has

reached browning temperature.

• SLOW COOK mode can be used in LOW

or HIGH heat. To select heat setting,

press SLOW COOK button multiple

times to toggle through settings. Steam

Release Valve should be in open ( )

position (Figure 1).

SLOW COOK will automatically start

to count down cooking time within

3 seconds. When cooking cycle is

complete, Cooker will switch to WARM

and timer will begin counting up for up

to 24 hours.

• WARM can be used as a mode for

keeping cooked foods at serving

temperature. Food must be hot enough

to prevent bacterial growth before using

WARM setting. The WARM setting

should only be used after a recipe has

been thoroughly cooked. Do not reheat

food on WARM setting. If food has been

cooked and then refrigerated, reheat it

on SLOW COOK LOW or HIGH and then

switch to WARM. Visit foodsafety.

gov for more information.

• CANCEL cancels all functions, clears

time and returns display to “OFF.” Use at

any time to stop cooking modes.

• Frozen meat and poultry can be cooked

from frozen state. A general guideline is to

add 50% more cooking time than recipe

recommends. Visit foodsafety.gov for

safe doneness temperatures.

Pressure Cooking Tips (cont.)

Figure 1

11

Slow Cooking Tips

• The Cooking Pot should be at least 1/2

full for best results. If only half-filled,

check for doneness 1 to 2 hours earlier

than recipe time.

• Stirring is not necessary when slow

cooking. Removing Lid results in major

heat loss and the cooking time may need

to be extended. However, if cooking on

HIGH, you may want to stir occasionally.

• If cooking soups or stews, leave a 2-inch

(5 cm) space between the top of the

Cooking Pot and the food so that the

recipe can come to a simmer.

• Many recipes call for cooking all day.

If your morning schedule doesn’t allow

time to prepare a recipe, do it the night

before. Place all ingredients in Cooking

Pot, cover with Lid, and refrigerate

overnight. In the morning, simply place

Cooking Pot in Cooker and start cooking.

• Do not use frozen meat or poultry in

SLOW COOK mode. Thaw any meat or

poultry before cooking.

• Some foods are not suited for extended

cooking in a slow cooker: pasta, seafood,

milk, cream or sour cream should be

added 2 hours before serving. Evaporated

milk or condensed soups are perfect for

slow cooking.

• The higher the fat content of meat, the

less liquid is needed. If cooking meat

with a high fat content, place thick onion

slices underneath so meat will not sit on

(and cook in) fat.

• Slow cooking allows for very little

evaporation. If making your favorite soup,

stew, or sauce, reduce liquid called for in

original recipe. If too thick, liquid can be

added later.

• If cooking a vegetable-type casserole,

there will need to be liquid in the recipe

to prevent scorching on the sides of

Cooking Pot.

• If cooking a recipe with root vegetables,

place root vegetables in the bottom of

the Cooking Pot.

Risque

de choc électrique : Cet appareil est

fourni avec une fiche polarisée (une

broche large) pour réduire le risque

d’électrocution. Cette fiche n’entre

polarisée. Ne contrecarrez pas l’objectif

sécuritaire de cette fiche en la modifiant

de quelque manière que ce soit ou

en utilisant un adaptateur. Si vous ne

pouvez pas insérer complètement la

fiche dans la prise, inversez la fiche. Si

elle refuse toujours de s’insérer, faire

remplacer la prise par un électricien.

La longueur du cordon installé sur cet

appareil a été sélectionnée afin de

réduire les risques d’enchevêtrement ou

de faux pas causés par un fil trop long.
