and “Rice” functions) to adjust cooking time. Press 
the "Adjust" key repeatedly to change between 
“Normal”, “More" and “Less" modes which will light 
up on the display. 
•  Change the cooking time with “+” and “-“. Press and 
hold the “+” or “-“ key for faster changes. 
•  The built-in cooking time is suitable for most type of 
food. Please use the cooking time table in the recipe 
book to determine the appropriate cooking time 
based on the food type, the quantity of food and 
your texture preference. 
5.  Cooking starts automatically in 10 seconds after the last key press. 
•  Three audible beeps will sound to indicate the cooking process has begun. The LED 
display shows "On" indicating that the pre-heating state is in progress. Please note: 
depending on the food content, the quantity and its temperature (frozen or not), the 
preheat cycle may vary from 10 to 40 minutes. 
•  As the pressure increases inside the cooker, it is perfectly normal for traces of steam to 
escape from the float valve until the float valve pops up. 
•  Once the cooker reaches working pressure, the LED display changes from “On" to the 
programmed cooking time. The cooking time counts down to indicate the remaining 
time in minutes. During this pressurized state, you should not see any steam leaking out 
anywhere from the lid. However, from time to time, you may see a small amount of 
steam coming out from the pressure release handle. This is perfectly normal. 
•  During the cooking operation, the cooker may make soft clicking sounds. This comes 
from the normal operation of the heating element switching on and off. 
•  At any time, you can cancel the cooking program in progress and return to standby 
mode by pressing the “Keep-Warm/Cancel” key. 
6.  When the pressure cooking cycle finishes, the cooker beeps and automatically goes into the 
"Keep Warm" cycle, called Auto “Keep Warm” Cycle. The LED 
display shows an “L” on the first digit, such as "L0:02", to 
indicate the “Keep Warm” cycle and time duration. The clock 
counts up for 10 hours. If the 10 hour Auto “Keep Warm” 
cycle finishes, the cooker goes into standby state. 
•  It is not recommended to leave cooked rice in “Keep- 
Warm” state for too long as it may affect the texture 
of the rice. 
7.  To serve food, press “Keep-Warm/Cancel” to stop the 
keep-warm cycle and open the lid according to the “Safe Lid 
Opening” section of this manual. 
•  When opening the lid, the inner pot may be suctioned to the lid due to vacuum effect 
caused by contraction of cooling air. Please turn the pressure release handle to 
“Venting” to let in air to release the vacuum.
