Mellerware 27400 Electric Pressure Cooker User Manual


 
PLEASE NOTE:
During initial use, you may notice a slight odour due to the burning off of manufacturing
residue. This is completely normal, it does not affect the food being cooked and will
disappear after a few uses.
NOTE: Ensure that the steam release valve is in the “sealed” position before the appliance
starts the cooking process otherwise the unit will not be able to build up pressure.
DELAY TIME:
• Before selecting the cooking function press the “time” key to add a cooking time delay.
The delay timer can be adjusted in increments of 30 minutes. Maximum delay time is 24
hours. Continue to press the button until the desired time delay is reached. The amount of
time until the unit begins cooking will be displayed on the screen.
• Once the delay has been selected use the “selection dial” to choose the desired cooking
function (i.e. rice, soup, chicken, etc.), then press the “selection dial” to select the function.
The cooking will begin once the time delay has elapsed.
• Please note that once the cooking time has counted down, the time may not be adjusted.
If more or less cooking time is required. The cooking process must be cancelled and the
timing must be reset to the required/desired time. (P:08 refers to 8 minutes remaining
before cooking is complete.)
• During set up and while cooking the “Keep warm/cancel” button can be pressed to cancel
cooking.
• After cooking the unit will automatically engage “Keep Warm” mode and the letters “bb”
will be displayed on the screen. The “Keep warm/Cancel” button can be pressed to cancel
keep warm mode.
• Once the unit has completed the cooking cycle or the LCD display has turned off before
opening and removing the lid, turn the pressure release valve to the “vent” position as
indicated on lid. Ensure that your face and hands are away from the opening of the pressure
release valve to ensure that you do not get burnt or injured, the steam is very hot therefore
extreme caution must be exercised when steam is being released.
• When cooking liquid foods such as soup or porridge wait for the unit to cool down before
pressure is released.
• Switch off the appliance at the wall socket and remove the plug from the wall socket.
• Once all pressure has been released and the plug has been removed from the wall socket
and there is no longer any steam escaping from the pressure release valve, the lid may be
turned clockwise to be unlocked.
• When removing the lid, remove it in such a manner that the steam is directed away from
you. Do this by allowing the top of the lid to face your direction, the steam will deflect
against the inner surface of the lid. Ensure you are positioned to the side of the unit without
your face or hands over it. Use an oven glove when removing the lid to reduce the chance
of being burnt by the steam.
• Only use non-stick utensils to serve from the cooking pot as any hard utensils made
from stainless steel or similar materials could damage the non-stick surface of the inner
cooking pot.
