1 emove and discard any packaging R material, stickers, and tape from the unit. 2 Pay particular attention to operational instructions, warnings, and important safeguards to avoid any injury or property damage. 3 Wash the silicone ring, removable cooking pot, Cook & Crisp™ Basket, deluxe reversible rack, and condensation collector in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. NEVER clean the cooker base in the dishwasher.
6 Insert the thermometer horizontally into the center of the thickest part of the piece of protein.

USING THE THERMOMETER IN DIFFERENT COOKING SCENARIOS: Cooking 2 or more proteins of the same size to different levels of doneness: • Set the Preset feature to the highest desired level of doneness.
WATER TEST: GETTING STARTED PRESSURE COOKING It is recommended that first-time users complete a water test to familiarize themselves with pressure cooking. 1 Place the pot in the cooker base and add 3 cups of room-temperature water to the pot. 4 Use the dial to select QUICK RELEASE. The unit will default to high (Hi) pressure. Use the right down arrow to adjust the time to 2 minutes. Press START/STOP to begin.
NOTE: If running for 1 hour or less, the clock will count down by minutes and seconds. If running for more than 1 hour, the clock will count down by minutes only. 5 Press START/STOP to begin cooking. The unit will begin building pressure. The display will show PrE and a progress bar.r. The timer will begin counting down when the unit is fully pressurized. + NOTE: Time to pressure varies depending on the selected pressure.
3 Move slider to AIR FRY/STOVETOP, the unit will default to AIR FRY. The default temperature setting will display. Use the up and down arrows to the left of the display to choose a temperature in 5-degree increments between 300°F and 400°F. + Broil 1 Place the deluxe reversible rack in the pot in the higher broil position or follow the directions in your recipe. 4 Use the up and down arrows to the right of the display to adjust the cook time in minute increments up to 30 minutes.
5 Press START/STOP to begin cooking. 6 When cook time reaches zero, the unit will beep and "End" will flash 3 times on the display. Proof 1 Place dough in the pot or Air Fry Basket and close the lid. 2 Move slider to AIR FRY/STOVETOP, then use the dial to select PROOF. The default temperature setting will display. Use the up and down arrows to the left of the display to choose a temperature in 5-degree increments between 75°F and 95°F.
5 The unit will beep when preheating is complete and "ADD FOOD" will show on the display. Open the lid and place bags in the water using the water displacement method: Working with one bag at a time, leave a corner of the bag unzipped—as you slowly lower the bag into the water, the pressure of the water will force the air out of the bag. When just the bag’s seal is above the water line, finish closing the bag, making sure no water gets inside. Keep the bag’s seal just above the water line.
Cleaning: Dishwasher & Hand-Washing AVOIDING CROSS CONTAMINATION & CLEANING THE LID We recommend inspecting the interior of the lid prior to cooking with “wet cooking functions,” which include Slow Cook, Steam, Sous Vide, Sear/Sauté, Pressure, and all SteamCrisp functions. If you see any food residue or oil buildup on the heating element or fan, we recommend steam cleaning the unit (see instructions below), then wiping down the interior of the lid.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Why is my unit taking so long to come to pressure? How long does it take to come to pressure? • Cooking times may vary based on the selected temperature, current temperature of the cooking pot, and temperature or quantity of the ingredients. • Check to make sure the silicone ring is fully seated and flush against the lid. If installed correctly, you should be able to tug lightly on the ring to rotate it.
HELPFUL TIPS 1 For consistent browning, make sure ingredients are arranged in an even layer on the bottom of the cooking pot with no overlapping. If ingredients are overlapping, make sure to shake halfway through the set cook time. 2 For smaller ingredients that could fall through the deluxe reversible rack, we recommend first wrapping them in a parchment paper or foil pouch. 3 Use the Keep Warm mode to keep food at a warm, food-safe temperature after cooking.
