At this point pressure cooking begins and the timer will start to count down. The timer will not begin to count down until full pressure is reached, which may be several minutes after the red float has fully risen. Note: When cooking under pressure, the red float will rise. The lid is double locked and cannot be opened. NEVER ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE LID WHILE PRESSURE COOKING. Automatic Keep Warm Feature When LED display reaches , the pressure cooker automatically shifts to Keep Warm temperature. The Keep Warm light will turn on and unit will beep to indicate cooking is complete. NOTE: The Keep Warm setting should not be used for more than 12 hours. The quality or texture of the food will begin to change after 1 hour on Keep Warm. In the Keep Warm setting, a little condensation in the upper ring is normal. To Reset or Cancel Users can reset the function or cancel the timing setup anytime by pressing the START/CANCEL button. To Remove Lid When pressure cooking cycle is finished, the unit will automatically switch to the Keep Warm position. At this point you may choose to release pressure in 1 of 3 ways – Natural Pressure Release, Quick Pressure Release, or a combination of both. The choice will be dictated by the particular food being cooked and indications in the recipe. If adapting your own recipe for pressure cooking, find a similar recipe in our recipe booklet and use that as a guide. 1. Natural Pressure Release – Following pressure cooking, allow the unit to remain on Keep Warm. The pressure will begin to drop – time for pressure to drop will depend on the amount of liquid in the pressure cooker and the length of time that pressure was maintained. Natural Pressure Release will take from 12 to 30 minutes. During this time cooking continues, so it is recommended for certain cuts of meats, and some desserts. When pressure is fully released, the float (pressure indicator) will drop and the lid will unlock to open. 2. Quick Pressure Release – Following pressure cooking you will hear a series of beeps indicating the process is finished. Turn off and pull the handle of the pressure limit valve forward (see figures 6 and 6a). Do not touch with your hand. Use tongs or another tool. (6a) (6) Steam will immediately begin to release through the valve. Keep face and hands away from steam as it is released, and do not release pressure under hanging cabinets, which can be damaged by steam. When pressure is fully released, the pressure indicator will drop and the lid will unlock to open. Using Quick Pressure Release stops the pressure cooking immediately. If further cooking is necessary, the unit may be returned to Pressure, or the food may be further cooked on the Simmer Setting. 3. Combination Natural Pressure Release and Quick Pressure Release – For some recipes, we have chosen to use a combination of Natural Pressure Release and Quick Pressure Release. Allow Natural Pressure Release for the time indicated in the recipe (food will continue to cook slightly) followed by Quick Pressure Release. WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN RELEASING PRESSURE. USE TONGS OR SIMILAR UTENSIL TO PULL HANDLE OF PRESSURE LIMIT VALVE FORWARD. When the red float is completely down, turn the lid clockwise and lift to remove. PRESSURE COOKER SETTINGS 1. Low Pressure 2. High Pressure 3. Browning – This preset temperature allows cooking over high heat, without the lid, before pressure cooking. Browning foods in a small amount of fat in this way seals the outer surfaces of meats and vegetables, producing a visually appealing, flavorful exterior with a moist, tender interior. 4. Saute – The preset temperature, done prior to pressure cooking with lid removed, allows you to quickly soften vegetables in a small amount of fat or liquid without browning, and to cook items such as rice (Arborio, brown, Carnaroli, white, etc.) for pilafs and risottos. 5. Simmer – This preset temperature allows you to cook liquids at a lower temperature. It is primarily used to finish cooking some items, i.e. to add ingredients to a risotto, sauce, or stew or to continue cooking process to achieve preferred texture. 6. Keep Warm – Holds and keeps cooked food warm for up to 12 hours (see next page). SAFETY VALVES There are seven safety devices installed in the pressure cooker to assure its reliability. 1. Open-and-Close Lid Safety Device The appliance will not start pressurizing until the lid is closed and locked properly. The lid cannot be opened if the appliance is filled with pressure. 2. Pressure Control Device The correct pressure level is automatically maintained during the cooking cycle. 3. Pressure Limit Valve The pressure limit valve will release air automatically when the pressure inside exceeds the preset temperature. 4. Anti-Block Cover Prevents any food material from blocking the pressure limit valve. 5. Pressure Relief Device When the pressure cooker reaches the maximum allowable pressure and temperature, the cooking pot will move down until lid separates from...
