You can release this pressure manually or simply wait for the pressure to release naturally.Using the accessoriesThe provided heat-resistant rack can be used for cooking foods that need to be cooked without direct heat from the bottom of the cavity or those that do not need to come into contact with water. The rack can be a great accessory for steaming foods (using the ‘Steam’ preset) and for making cakes (using the ‘Cake’ preset). To use the rack:
- Use the rack handles to lift the rack and place it inside the empty removable pot.
- Add about 1.5 cups (12oz) of water to the pot so that the rack surface is above the liquid.
- Add the food either by placing it directly on the rack or by placing it in a heat-resistant bowl or a baking pan (in the case of cake).
- Make sure that the rack handles are standing upright inside the pot. The rack handles can rest on the removable pot if required.
- Lock the lid and turn the Steam Release knob to the ‘Sealing’ position.
- Select the ‘Steam’ or ‘Cake’ setting as desired and adjust the time according to your preference.
- After the cooking has elapsed, and the steam has been released by turning the knob to the ‘Venting’ position, carefully open up the lid.
- Use oven mitts to grab the rack using the two rack handles and lift up vertically to remove the rack.
Note: Take care while removing the rack and watch out for steam and/or hot food on the racks. Alternatively, you can use tongs to pick out food that has directly been placed on the rack.
PRACTICAL HINTS FOR PRESSURE COOKING
- To ensure the best cooking performance when cooking under pressure, always use at least 2 cups of water or liquid in your recipesto enable enough steam to be created to produce pressure.
- When using the pressure settings, the timer will not begin counting down until there is enough pressure.
- When cooking under pressure, if you are unsure of the cooking time, it is better to undercook and use the quick release method and check for doneness. If not done, just continue cooking under pressure.
- Never fill the pressure cooker more than half full with food or 2/3 full with liquid.
- If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliances may not operate. The pressure cooker should beoperated on a separate electrical circuit.
- Tougher cuts of meat are better suited for the pressure cooker because cooking under pressure breaks the fibers down for tender results.
- Add a tablespoon of oil to the water to reduce the amount of foaming that beans produce.
- You can use frozen meats and poultry. The rule of thumb is if it is frozen then add ten minutes for every inch of the thickness of the food.
Cooking riceFor better results, always rinse rice before cooking. Cook rice in a liquid such as water or broth.On the next page is a table of recommended cooking times for different types of rice.
Rice type | Time in minutes | Uncookedrice (cups) | Liquid (cups) | |

TROUBLESHOOTING
If you have not added sufficient liquid and you notice that the floating valve has not risen, but the timer is counting down, perform the following steps:
- Stop the pressure cooker by pressing the ‘Keep Warm/Cancel button
- Turn the steam release knob to the ‘Venting’ position, until the pressure is fully released.
- Carefully remove the lid and add approximately 1 cup of water/stock or any liquid. Stir food to disperse the liquid.
- Replace the lid and lock it into position.
- Select your desired preset menu and adjust the cooking time and pressure if necessary.
- The cooking process will begin automatically in a couple of seconds
If steam is leaking from under the cover because the cover is not properly closed, the gasket is not positioned properly or is damaged, or the pressure cooker is overfilled, follow these steps:
- Unplug. Release any pressure using the quick-release method.
- Remove the gasket and check for tears or cracks.
- Check to be sure that the gasket is positioned properly.
- If the cooker is too full, remove excess liquid and continue cooking.
If you cannot open or remove the cover:
- Be sure all the pressure has been released.
- If you still cannot open it, bring the contents of the cooker up to pressure again.
- Release the pressure completely and try again.
If you cannot hear steam escaping during the cooking:This is perfectly normal. Unlike a manual pressure cooker that relies on constant heat and constant release of the pressure to maintain optimal pressure conditions, the pressure inside the unit is electronically controlled, and little to no steam will be released in normal working conditions.Error messagesIn some rare instances, you could get error messages displayed on the control panel. See below for the error description and solutions when appearing.E1: Means open circuit of the sensor. When this happens:
- Press ‘Keep warm/Cancel’
