For more information, see Troubleshooting (page 30). 11 Pressure Cooker Lid • When cooking with a pressurised cooking function, the steam release switch will automatically move to ‘Seal’ when closed. [Figure 1.1] Figure 1.3 • To close and secure the lid, align the orange dot on the lid with the orange dot on the pressure cooker base and twist clockwise. [Figure 1.4] Figure 1.1 • When cooking with a non-pressurised cooking function, always move the steam release switch to ‘Vent’. [Figure 1.2] Figure 1.4 • The lid can be placed in the lid holder located in the back of the pressure cooker base for convenience. [Figure 1.5] Figure 1.2 • The lid will lock when pressure is created and unlock when pressure is completely released. • When using a non-pressurised cooking function, the lid does not lock so you can taste test food during cooking. • To remove the lid, twist the lid anticlockwise to align the orange dot on the lid with the orange dot on the pressure cooker base and lift. [Figure 1.3] Figure 1.5 Note: • Always wait for the float valve to drop before removing the lid. • The pressure cooker will make a sound when the lid is closed and opened so you know when the lid is secured and not secured. 12 Sealing Ring The sealing ring (pre-installed) allows for an airtight seal between the inner pot and the lid. See Cleaning the Sealing Ring for further information (page 29). Anti-Block Shield The anti-block shield prevents food from clogging the steam release pipe and helps regulate pressure during the cooking process. [Figure 1.6] Figure 1.8 Note: Never try to remove the lid while the float valve is up. Inner Pot The inner pot is made of aluminium metal with nonstick ceramic coating. CAUTION: Figure 1.6 Float Valve • The float valve indicates if there is pressure inside the cooker. • Float valve up means there is pressure inside. [Figure 1.7] • Do not fill the inner pot higher than the “PC MAX—2/3” line (Pressure Cooking Maximum), as marked on the inner pot. • Do not fill the inner pot higher than the “—½” line when cooking food such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal, split peas, noodles, etc. These foods may foam, froth, or splatter, and may clog the steam release pipe and/or steam release valve. Steam Rack The steam rack can be used for steaming vegetables and meats, holding pressure cooker-safe containers, and making cakes (see Cake, page 25). Note: Only use heatproof and waterproof containers on the steam rack and inside the pressure cooker. Figure 1.7 • The float valve indicates if there is pressure inside the cooker. Float valve down means there is no pressure inside. [Figure 1.8] 13 Pressure Cooking Stages There are 3 stages during pressure cooking: 1. PREHEATING: • The display will show and the progress bar will be lit up under ‘PREHEATING’. • The float valve will pop up once enough pressure has been created. Note: • The time it takes for the pressure cooker to create pressure depends on what you are cooking, the amount of liquid, amount of food, and temperature setting. Frozen foods will take the longest time, while thawed food will be quicker. Note: Optionally, you can use Quick Release or Timed Pressure Release to release the pressure (see Releasing Pressure, page 14). Releasing Pressure When cooking with a pressurised cooking function (Pressure Cook, Rice, Steam, Cake, Oatmeal/Porridge, Stew/Broth, Bean/Grain, and Meat/Poultry), you must depressurise the pressure cooker before opening the lid. CAUTION: Always wait until the float valve drops before opening the lid. There are 3 types of ways the pressure cooker can depressurise: • Cook time does not include preheat time. Preheat time does not show on the display. NATURAL RELEASE 2. COOKING: The pressure cooker will release pressure normally over time. • Once pre-heating has finished, the display will begin the countdown timer. The progress bar will be lit up under ‘COOKING’. • Cooking stops gradually and pressure is naturally released over time. When natural release completes, the float valve will drop. • The amount of pressure selected (LOW or HIGH) is maintained during the ‘COOKING’ phase. • The steam release switch stays in the ‘Seal’ position. After the float valve has dropped, the lid will unlock automatically. • We recommend naturally releasing pressure when cooking soups, stews, chilis, pastas, oatmeal, congee, beans, grains, and food that expand during cooking to avoid splatter. Note: Cook time, pressure level, and temperature can be adjusted at any time during cooking. 3. KEEP WARM: • Once cooking has finished, the display will show a timer starting from ‘00:00’ and the progress bar will be lit up under ‘KEEP WARM’. • If you cancel the automatic Keep Warm before starting a pressurised cooking function, after cooking is finished, the display will show ‘END’ and begin to release pressure naturally until the float valve drops (see Keep Warm, page 24). • If automatic Keep Warm is not canceled before cooking, after cooking is finished, the display will show the count up timer starting from ‘00:00’ until you press CANCEL. 14 Note: Natural release can take up to 40 minutes depending on the dish. QUICK RELEASE You can manually release steam by using the steam release switch (see page 8). • Cooking stops quickly as pressure is released rapidly, along with hot steam. • Once the cooking phase has finished, move the steam release switch to the ‘Vent’ position. Note: If the pressure cooker releases too much steam, move the steam release switch to ‘Seal’ and allow the rest of the pressure to naturally release. • We recommend quickly releasing pressure when cooking vegetables and seafood to make sure food is not overcooked. TIMED NATURAL RELEASE • Cooking gradually stops until the remaining pressure is quick released. • Keep the steam release switch in the ‘Seal’ position for a few minutes after cooking has finished, then move the switch to the ‘Vent’ position to quick release the rest of the pressure. • We recommend using timed natural release for food such as rice and grains. Note: Once the switch is moved to ‘Vent’, the pressure won’t be as strong as immediately quick releasing pressure. CAUTION: • Do not place hands, face, or exposed skin over the steam release valve. • Do not open the lid until pressure is finished releasing. The lid will stay locked until the float valve drops down. • Never force the float valve down while it is still up. • To avoid dangerous food splatter, always use natural release for foods that have a large liquid volume or high starch content (such as soup, porridge, or fruit jam). 15 BEFORE FIRST USE Setting Up 1. Remove all plastic packaging from the pressure cooker. Read and remove all temporary stickers and warning cards. 5. Remove the inner pot.
