Initial test run (water test)
Do you have to do the water test? No — but getting to know the ins and outs of your new Pro
prepares you for success in the kitchen! Take a few minutes to get to know how this tireless
kitchen hero works.
Stage 1: Setting up the Pro for pressure

power source.
The display shows OFF.

its thing, read Pressure cooking 101 to
nd out how the magic happens.
Stage 3: Releasing pressure
01 When Cooking has nished, the
display shows End.
02 If you have set a 5 or 10 minute vent
reminder, the reminder timer begins to
count down.
03 Follow instructions for a Quick Release
in Releasing pressure: Venting
methods.
04 Wait for the oat valve to drop, then
carefully open and remove the lid as
described in Pressure control features:
Pressure cooking lid.
05 Using proper hand protection, remove
the inner pot from the multicooker
base, discard the water and thoroughly
dry the inner pot.
That's it! You're good to go :)
CAUTION
Pressurised steam is released through
the top of the steam release valve. Keep
exposed skin away from the steam
release valve to avoid burn injuries.
The inner pot will be hot after cooking.
Always use appropriate heat protection
when handling a hot inner pot to avoid
burn injuries.
DANGER
DO NOT attempt to remove the lid while the oat valve is up and NEVER
attempt to force the lid open. Contents are under extreme pressure. Float
valve must be down before attempting to remove the lid. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.
