Using the Pressure Cooker menu
Place the Pressure Cooker on a flat, level
surface.
Plug in the unit. The unit will beep, and
the indicator lights and the LCD screen will
illuminate. The Pressure Cooker will default
to the Pressure Cooker menu, on the HIGH
(70kpa) setting. ‘Pressure’ and ‘HIGH’ will
flash on the display.
1. Place your food and liquid inside the
removable cooking pan.
2. Place the lid on, and lock by rotating anti-
clockwise to the LOCK position.
3. Using the finger tab, flick the pressure
and steam valve to the ‘SEAL’ position.
4. If the menu is not set to Pressure Cook,
set the cooking menu by scrolling through
the MENU button until a light appears
next to Pressure on the control panel, and
HIGH is flashing in the LCD screen.
5. To select the pressure setting of LOW
(30kpa), press the MENU button, and
LOW will flash in the LCD screen.
6. To select the cooking time, press the TIME
button, and then press the
and
buttons, until your desired time appears
in the LCD screen. Each button press
will adjust the time by 1 minute up to
20 minutes, and increments of 5 mins
thereafter to a maximum cooking time of
2 hours.
Note: the minimum cooking time is 2
minutes, and the maximum cooking time is
2 hours.
7. Once you have set the desired MENU and
cooking TIME settings, press START.
8. The Pressure Cooker needs to gain
pressure before pressure cooking can
commence. When the unit is gaining
pressure, ‘Cooking’ will flash in the
LCD screen and the time will not count
down. When pressure has been reached,
‘Cooking’ will stop flashing and the time
will begin to count down.
9. After the set cooking time has elapsed,
the unit will beep and will automatically
switch to the KEEP WARM setting.
The LCD screen will therefore change from
‘Cooking’ to ‘Keep Warm’. The Pressure
Cooker can stay in the Keep Warm setting
for 4 hours.
TIP: The Pressure Cooking settings are in the
Cooking Menu Settings Table on page 13.
NOTE: The unit can not work without liquid.
Ensure a minimum of 250ml of liquid is used
inside the removable cooking pan.
Note: During cooking, steam will build up in
the unit, so when lifting the lid use a kitchen
glove or mitt to protect your hand.
