6. Once all the ingredients have
been entered into the removable
cooking bowl, take the safety
locking lid, align the handle
with the unlock/align position.
When the safety locking lid is
sitting correctly, turn it counter-
clockwise to lock into position.
(see Fig. 6).
NOTE: Ensure that the locking
graphics are aligned so that
the Pressure Express can
function correctly.
7. Make sure that the pressure
regulator/release valve is sitting
in the sealed position (see Fig. 7).
If the pressure regulator/release
valve is in the venting position, the
Pressure Express will not build up the
required pressure needed to cook.

8. Plug the removable power cord
into the stainless steel housing
and into a 230V or 240V power
outlet and switch on. The power
light will activate, which indicates
that the pressure cooker is ready
for use.
9. Set the selection control dial to
the desired setting that is to be
used by turning the selection
control dial clockwise. The light will
now activate. During the pressure
build up, the pressure indicator
rod and the pressure regulator/
release valve will begin to “hiss”
and release minimal steam.
WARNING: Do not place
your face or any other
body part over the
appliance whilst in use
as the steam can cause
serious burns.
WARNING: Do not
attempt to open the
pressure cooker lid after
pressure cooking until
all internal pressure has
been released and is
slightly cooled. If the lid
will not turn to unlock,
this indicates that the
pressure cooker is still
under pressure – do
not force the lid open.
Any pressure remaining
can be hazardous. See
operating instructions
for “steam release”
directions in this
instruction booklet.
