Instruction Manual

• Do not use a damaged
removable cooking bowl.
Replace before using.
• Do not place food or liquid
directly into the base. Only
the removable cooking bowl
is designed to contain food or
liquid.
• Never operate the cooker
without food and liquid in
the removable cooking bowl.
Ensure a combined minimum
of 4 cups (1 litre) of food and/
or liquid when cooking. Using
less than 4 cups can result in
a reduction of pressurisation.
This minimum quantity
level does not apply for
the LEGUMES and RICE |
GRAINS settings.
• Always ensure there is enough
liquid in the removable
cooking bowl when steaming.
At least 4 cups (1 litre) of liquid
is required when steaming.
• Do not exceed maximum fill
level. Some foods expand
during pressure cooking
such as rice, diced vegetables.
Over filling may cause a risk
of clogging pressure release
valve and safety locking pin
and develop excess pressure.
Always follow the maximum
and minimum quantities of
liquid stated in instructions
and recipes.
• Some food to avoid when
pressure cooking are: apple
sauce, cranberries, pearl
barley, oatmeal and other
cereals, noodles and pasta, and
rhubarb; these foods can foam,
froth and splatter and clog
the pressure release valve and
safety locking pin.
• Before use, always check
pressure release valve and
safety locking pin for clogging
and clean if necessary. Check
to make sure the safety locking
pin moves freely from under
the lid.
• Do not attempt to open the
cooker lid after pressure
cooking until all internal
pressure has been released
and is slightly cooled. If the
lid will not turn to unlock, this
indicates that appliance is
still under pressure – do not
force lid open. Any pressure
remaining can be hazardous.
See operating instructions for
STEAM RELEASE directions
in this instruction book.
• The container must not be
opened until the pressure has
decreased sufficiently.
• Do not touch the pressure
release valve whilst in use.
• The surface heating element
is subject to residual heat after
use.
