2 Check the Sealing Ring & Sealing Ring Rack Remove: Pull sealing ring out from behind sealing ring rack. Inspect sealing ring rack. It should be centred in the lid and an even height all the way around. Sealing ring must be installed before use. See Safety, Maintenance & Warranty for Care, Cleaning & Storage instructions. Remove To check or clean the following parts in Steps 2–7, please make sure unit is unplugged and cool before performing any of these tasks.
3 Remove & Install Float Valve The float valve has 2 positions. It pops up to indicate when the cooker is pressurised and lowers into the lid when the cooker is depressurised. Remove: Place one finger on the flat top of the float valve. Turn lid over. Detach silicone cap from the bottom side of the float valve. Remove float valve from top of lid. Do not discard float valve or silicone cap.
4 Remove & Install Anti-Block Shield Remove: Grip lid and press firmly against side of anti-block shield (pressing towards side of lid and up) until it pops off the prongs underneath. Anti-block shield must be installed before use and cleaned frequently. Install: Place anti-block shield over prongs and press down until it snaps into position. Anti-block shield prevents food particles from coming up through the steam release pipe, assisting with pressure regulation.
5 Remove & Install Steam Release Valve Remove: Pull steam release valve up and off steam release pipe. Steam release valve must be installed before use and cleaned frequently. Install: Place steam release valve on steam release pipe and press down. Fits loosely when installed properly, but remains in place when the lid is turned over. Remove Install CAUTION If release valve is not installed, water will spatter out of the steam release pipe which may lead to burns and injury.
6 Remove & Clean Inner Pot Remove inner pot from cooker base and wash with hot water and washing up liquid before first use. Clean the outer surface of inner pot and the heating element located on the inner surface of the outer pot with a clean dry cloth to ensure it is dry and free of food debris. Failure to do so may damage the cooker. Place inner pot into cooker base before cooking. Food must be placed only in the inner pot, not cooker base.
7 Install Condensation Collector Install: On back of cooker base, align grooves on condensation collector over tabs and push condensation collector into place. The condensation collector accumulates excess water and should be installed before cooking. Must be emptied and rinsed after use. Failure to install will result in water dripping on to your countertop. Remove: Pull condensation collector away from cooker base. Do not pull down on condensation collector.
Venting Methods Venting Methods When closing the lid, the quick release button will automatically reset to the popped up “Seal” position.
Natural Release (NR) Leave the steam release in the “Seal” position (up). The cooker dissipates heat so pressure releases naturally over time. This method must be used when cooking food such as soups, stews or chilis, as well as food that expands, such as beans and grains. Note: Depressurisation time varies based upon volume of food and liquid. May take 10-40 minutes, or longer. Quick Release (QR) Vent: Press quick release button down until it clicks.
