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

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. Open 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

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 is properly closed before operating. See “Pressure

Cooker Program”.

• Do not fill the unit over 2/3 full. When cooking foods that expand, such as

rice or dried vegetables, do not fill the unit more than 1/2 full. Over filling

may result in clogging the vent pipe and will not allow enough room for

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, rhubarb, etc.

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.

• Always check the pressure release devices for clogging before use.

CAUTION: THE STEAM COMING OUT OF THE COOKER WILL BE HOT,

AND MIGHT CONTAIN DROPLETS OF HOT LIQUID. BE SURE TO USE

POT HOLDERS, OVEN MITTS OR A KITCHEN TOWEL WHEN RELEASING

PRESSURE.

b. Natural Release Method: Release the pressure by shutting the unit

off completely. This 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.

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

lifting it up and tilting it away from yourself to avoid getting burnt by

any 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 POT HOLDERS, OVEN MITTS OR A KITCHEN TOWEL TO

HANDLE IT OR LET IT COOL DOWN BEFORE REMOVING.

Yogurt Function

You only need two ingredients to make yogurt at home: any type of milk and

plain store-bought yogurt (with live active cultures) or starter yogurt.

Choosing the Milk:

The following types of milk may be used:

1. Pasteurized milk of any fat content (full, 2%, 1% or skim milk)

2. Powdered milk

3. Long-life UHT sterilized milk

4. Soy Milk. Be sure to use UHT soy milk, which contains one of the following

ingredients: fructose, honey or malt. These ingredients are necessary for

fermentation and you will not succeed if none are available in the milk.

Live Active Cultures-Unflavored Yogurt:

All you need is a small amount of plain, unflavored yogurt with live active

cultures, often called probiotics. The plain yogurt can either be purchased

from a store or used from a previous batch of homemade yogurt. Homemade

yogurt can only be used a maximum of 2 times as starter yogurt. If you use

the store bought yogurt and prefer a particular brand, try using that one as a

starter.

The Live & Active Culture seal, from the National Yogurt Association (NYA),

helps you recognize those products containing significant amounts of live

and active cultures. The seal is a voluntary identification available to all

manufacturers of yogurt whose products contain at least 100 million cultures

per gram at the time of manufacture. Since the seal program is voluntary,

some yogurt products may have some live cultures but not carry the seal.

NOTE: For 5 cups of milk use ½ cup of plain yogurt or 1 packet starter

culture. For 1 cup of milk use about one tablespoon of plain yogurt.

NOTE: You can make yogurt either directly in the removable cooking pot or

using glass jars in the removable cooking pot by placing them in the steamer.

10. If you prefer regular yogurt, cover and place in the refrigerator for 2 to 3

hours before serving, or until yogurt cools. If you prefer making Greek

yogurt, please see below.

Helpful Hints and Tips:

• The probiotics and live active cultures are strongest when the yogurt is

fresh. For the best results, only use the same starter yogurt 2 times max.

After a few days, the probiotics in the previous batch can weaken and the

yogurt may result in a liquid consistency.

• You may choose to make flavored yogurt and add sugar, honey, flavorings,

fruit, or other ingredients to taste just prior to eating.

• For best results and ease of preparation, use whole or semi-skimmed UHT

milk or reconstituted milk powder. They don’t need to be heated or cooled

down.

• The “best before” date for natural yogurts will be 7 days after the yogurt

ENGLISH

was made, depending on the freshness of the milk. When in doubt, use the

expiration date on your milk as a guideline.

Greek Yogurt

1. Place a strainer or a cheese cloth inside a container so the strainer doesn’t

touch the bottom of the container to allow for better drainage.

2. Pour the homemade yogurt into the the strainer or cheese cloth and cover.

Put it in the refrigerator to strain and chill for at least 2 hours. The longer

the time, the thicker the yogurt becomes.

3. Gently remove yogurt from strainer or cheese cloth by turning the strainer

or cheese cloth upside down on a plate or container.

4. Put it back in the refrigerator to chill for another few hours before serving.

count down your cooking time. The floating valve located on the lid will

rise indicating that there is pressure inside the unit.

NOTE: When using the White Rice setting, only the outer display lines will

show once temperature has been reached. There is no preset cooking time

for this setting as the unit itself will detect the water levels in the unit and beep

once the rice has been properly steamed. The cooking time will depend on

how much rice you are cooking.

WARNING: NEVER TRY TO FORCE THE LID OPEN WHILE YOU ARE

COOKING UNDER PRESSURE, THIS CAN RESULT IN A SERIOUS

ACCIDENT.

AND MIGHT CONTAIN DROPLETS OF HOT LIQUID. BE SURE TO USE

POT HOLDERS, OVEN MITTS OR A KITCHEN TOWEL WHEN RELEASING

PRESSURE.

b. Natural Release Method: Release the pressure by shutting the unit

off completely. This 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 quinoa) 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.

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

lifting it up and tilting it away from yourself to avoid getting burnt by

any remaining steam or hot water condensation dripping from the inner

portion of the lid.

WARNING: AFTER COOKING, THE REMOVABLE COOKING POT WILL

Cleaning and Maintenance

Do not wash any parts of the multi-cooker in the dishwasher except for the

removable cooking pot. Always wash the removable cooking pot thoroughly

after every use, or if it has not been used for an extended period of time.

1. Unplug the multi-cooker and let the unit cool before cleaning.

2. Remove the removable cooking pot and wash with warm soapy water or

in the dishwasher. Hand washing is always recommended. Rinse and dry

thoroughly.

3. Wipe the body of the unit with a clean damp cloth and rinse the lid with

warm water and soap. Do not submerge the multi-cooker or the lid in water.

NOTE: To remove odor from the inside of the lid, clean it with water and

vinegar (1:1 ratio).

4. Remove the condensation reservoir by pulling it down. Wash with warm,

soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Replace by pushing it back into

place.

5. Turn the lid upside down; grip the silicone gasket and pull up to remove.

Clean the silicone gasket with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Replace the gasket by positioning it inside the edge of the lid and pushing

it down. Make sure the groove in the center of the gasket is positioned

around the metal ring on the inside edge of the lid.

NOTE: The silicone gasket must always be properly positioned on the underside

of the lid; otherwise the unit will not work. Check periodically to make sure that

it is clean, flexible, and not cracked or torn. (See “Getting Started” section in

this manual.)

6. If the silicone gasket appears damaged, cracked or torn, do not use the

unit and contact the Zavor Customer Service Department at 1-855-928-

6748 or visit the Zavor website to purchase a new silicone gasket at www.

zavoramerica.com.

7. For optimal performance, the inside of the cooker, in the area under the

removable cooking pot where the temperature sensor and heating pad are

located, must be cleaned after each use. Wipe with a soft damp cloth and

be sure to dry thoroughly.

8. Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to clean any of the parts.

Cleaning the Pressure Regular Knob
