Brown Setting
This program allows you to brown your food before cooking it under
pressure. Brown your meat or poultry for the best flavor and texture,
unless otherwise indicated in the recipe. Food should be patted dry
with a paper towel before browning. For best results, make sure the
oil is hot before adding your meat or poultry. Brown in batches to
keep the correct temperature.
1. Position the removable cooking pot in the pressure cooker.
2. Add the appropriate amount of oil as per recipe.
3. Press the BROWN button. The light on the button will flash and
the display will read 0.0. The lid should remain off.
4. Press the START/STOP button. The indicator light will stop
flashing.
5. After about one minute of preheating, add food and begin
browning.
NOTE: Do not leave pressure cooker unattended while
browning foods
7. Set the desired time by pressing the button once for each addi-
tional minute or by continuously holding the button down. The
longest cooking time is 99 minutes.

9. If you forget to select a desired cooking time or forget to press
the START/STOP button, the digital display will read 0.0 after 30
seconds.
Note: It takes time to reach pressure before the unit will count down.
10. The unit will begin to count down in minutes, after the appropri-
ate pressure has been reached. (The floating valve will rise when
the pressure is reached.) The pressure cooker will beep at the
end of the cooking time.
11. When cooking is finished, let the pressure drop on its own (also
called the natural release feature), or release immediately by
turning the pressure regulator knob towards STEAM in short
bursts (also called the quick release method) until the pressure is
reduced. CAUTION: When turning the knob to release pressure,
hot steam/liquid will be ejected.
NOTE: Press the START/STOP button when cooking time is complete,
or to cancel and reset. Otherwise, the pressure cooker will beep
periodically as a reminder that the cooking time is complete.
WARNING: Do not hold the pressure regulator knob. Hot steam/
liquid will be ejected. Keep hands and face away from steam
vents, use pot holders when removing the inner pot or touching
any hot items, and never force the lid open. The lid will only
open once the pressure is released. Remove the lid by lifting it
away from you to avoid being burned by the steam.
