USING YOUR PRESSURE COOKER
It is essential that you read this instruction manual and keep it handy
when cooking with your pressure cooker. This manual will answer
any questions that you might have on safety, operation and timing.
PLEASE NOTE
: The Pressure Cooker cannot reach pressure
unless the Lid is properly closed, the operating
pressure has been selected and sufficient liquid
has been added.
To open the pressure cooker, make
sure that the Pressure Selector Dial is
on “0” setting and all pressure has been
released. Unlock the lid by pulling the
handle and lifting the lid up. (See
illustration 1)
PLEASE NOTE
: Before using the pressure cooker for the first
time, wash all the parts with hot water, rinse and
dry them. Remove the seal from the rim of the
lid. Oil it lightly with vegetable oil before cooking
for the first time and after each use. (DO NOT
use any other type of oil or vegetable fat.) This
facilitates locking.
CLOSING YOUR PRESSURE COOKER
Before closing the pressure cooker
ALWAYS CHECK THE VALVES.
Using the vapor key provided, press the
Automatic Valve from inside the lid to
see that it moves freely up and down.
To close the pressure cooker, place the
lid on the body and push the handle
down you will feel the lock engage.

ADDING INGREDIENTS & LIQUIDS
When cooking, always use a minimum of 1
1/2 cups of liquid. You may fill the
pressure cooker up to a maximum of 2/3
full. This includes liquids and ingredients,
(see illustration 3).
When cooking foods which produce foam
or expand greatly such as peas, rice or
beans, the pressure cooker should not be
filled more than 1/2 full, (see illustration 4).
To reduce foam, add one tablespoon of
butter or oil to the pressure cooker prior to
cooking.
