Using the Steam 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
setting. ‘Pressure’ and ‘HIGH’ will flash on
the display.
1. Place water in the bottom of the
removable cooking pan and insert the
cooking rack. Ensure water is just under
the wires of the rack so that food is not
touching water.
2. Place your food on the cooking rack.
3. Place the lid on, and lock by rotating anti-
clockwise so that the two triangle icons
are aligned to the LOCK position.
4. Using the finger tab, flick the pressure
and steam valve to the ‘SEAL’ position.
5. If the menu is not set to Steam, set the
cooking menu by scrolling through the
MENU button until a light appears next to
Steam on the control panel.
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 a
maximum cooking time of 30 minutes.
Note: The minimum cooking time is 1
minute, and the maximum cooking time is
30 minutes.
7. Once you have set the desired MENU and
cooking TIME settings, press START.
8. The Pressure Cooker needs to gain
temperature before steam cooking can
commence. When the unit is gaining
temperature, ‘Cooking’ will flash in the
LCD screen and the time will not count
down. When temperature 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 cooking will end.
Note: As steamed food is delicate, there is no
Keep Warm setting on the Steam menu.
TIP: The Steam 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.
