BACCARAT® IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE FIRST USE & RETAIN FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Safety is at the forefront of design and manufacturing throughout the process of all Baccarat® products. It is essential that the product user exercise care when using a Baccarat® electrical appliance. Please adhere to the following precautions which are essential for the safe use of an electrical appliance:
Safety precautions for the Baccarat® Smart Chef XL Multicooker 8L.
- Do not move or lift the appliance while the power cord is still connected to the power outlet or still on. Always ensure it is switched off and has cooled down completely before moving.
- This appliance has no user-serviceable parts contained within. Do not attempt to repair, disassemble or modify the appliance.
- Improper installation may result in the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to person.
- Do not touch hot surfaces. The temperature of the outer body can get very hot while the appliance is in operation. Allow the appliance to cool down completely before inserting or removing parts.
- Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces may break off the pad and touch the electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock.
-
This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding.
-
Never move the appliance with the pot still full of hot ingredients. All liquids and ingredients should be emptied from the pot before the appliance is moved.
- Never fill the appliance over the MAX mark on the pot (2/3 full) while pressure cooking. Follow the filling instructions precisely to ensure the safe use of the appliance. Overfilling may increase the risk of clogging the pressure limiting valve and the float valve, which can cause excessive pressure to build-up in the appliance. Failure to follow this procedure can result in injury to person(s) and/or damage to the appliance.
- Certain foods such as apple sauce, porridge, legumes or pasta, can foam, froth and clog the pressure limiting valve and float valve. These foods should be cooked carefully in the appliance, do not overfill and always clean the valves well after use.
• Always check the pressure release devices (pressure limiting valve and float valve) for clogging before use.
- DO NOT open the appliance until the appliance has cooled and all internal pressure has been released. If the lid is difficult to open or rotate, this indicates that the appliance is still holding pressure – DO NOT FORCE IT OPEN. Any pressure remaining in the appliance can be dangerous and can cause
Baccarat®
injury if forced open. See further instructions on page 14 to ensure that all pressure has been expelled from the appliance before attempting to remove the lid.
- Never use oil as the main ingredient when pressure cooking. This product is NOT a Deep Fryer
- Be careful not to damage the seal ring located inside the lid and DO NOT replace it with anything other than a replacement ring designed for this appliance. If you believe that the seal ring has been damaged, silicone rings are available as spare parts and can be purchased from most Baccarat. ® stockists or Baccarat.com.au.
- The surface of contact between the inner pot and the electric heating plate should always be clean. DO NOT use the inner pot with any other heating sources other than the appliance. DO NOT replace or substitute the inner pot with any other container other than that supplied with the appliance.
• The appliance should not be used for more than 6 hours continuously (except when using the SLOW COOK and YOGHURT presets). Serious injury and or damage may occur if any safeguards are ignored.
- If steam is released around the lid during the cooking process, unplug the cooker from the power supply immediately. Let the appliance cool completely and remove the contents. The above is a signal that the pressure discharging device has been activated. This is a safeguard to alert the user that the pressure limiting valve is malfunctioning. Discontinue using the appliance immediately.
- Surfaces of the appliance will become hot during use. Take care to only touch the handles when the appliance is hot. Wearing oven gloves is recommended when opening the lid.

-
Once the test is complete, the keep warm function will be automatically activated. The keep warm icon will illuminate on the LCD display while the red indicator light above the KEEP WARM/CANCEL button will illuminate.
-
Once the keep warm function is active, press cancel button and release the internal pressure using the natural release method (following instructions on page 14). Switch off and unplug from the wall.
- Carefully remove the lid.
- Your appliance is now ready to use.
Cooking Checklist
Below is a quick checklist to ensure that the appliance is ready for use.
- All food residue has been removed from the upper rim of the inner pot.
• Install the condensation cup to the rear of the appliance.
- Check that the seal ring inside the lid is undamaged and is correctly fitted to the lid. Push the seal ring with pressure up into the lid, ensure it is correctly fitted.
- Ensure that the lid has been securely and correctly fitted to the appliance.
- Turn the pressure limiting valve to the SEALING position on the lid if required.
- Initial Water Test to test the pressure limiting valve and the seals has been completed.
Operating Instructions
Pressure Limiting Valve
The pressure limiting valve is located top rear of the lid. This valve has two positions; SEALING and VENTING (these markings are shown on the lid). It is important that you follow the directions carefully as the pressure limiting valve can operate in both positions.
SEALING
VENTING
All the presets listed in the table found on page 19. are Pressure Cooking presets. This means that the food is being cooked under pressure and in turn, means that the pressure limiting valve needs to be set to the SEALING position BEFORE cooking is started. This is extremely important and is instrumental to your safety and cooking success.
When using the SLOW COOK, SAUTE and DESSERT presets, the pressure limiting valve needs to be set to the VENTING position. These presets do not call for cooking under pressure. Once cooking cycle is complete, before attempting to remove the lid, the pressure limiting valve MUST be turned to the VENTING position for both Quick Release and Natural Release pressure method.
WARNING: Extreme caution should be taken when venting or adjusting the pressure valve, as steam and liquid will be expelled during this process. Always use long handled longs and wear oven mitts, keeping hands and face away from steam.
WARNING: DO NOT adjust the pressure limiting valve to the VENTING position before the cooking cycle has finished. This is extremely dangerous and can cause serious injury or bums. Always press the KEEP WARM/CANCEL button first to cancel the cooking preset, before attempting to expel the pressure from the appliance.
WARNING: When the pressure limiting valve is adjusted under the quick pressure release method, hot steam and liquid will be expelled. Ensure that hands, face and all exposed body parts are kept well away during this process.
WARNING: DO NOT open the appliance until it has cooled down for a few minutes and all internal pressure has been released. If the lid is difficult to open or rotate, this indicates that the appliance is still holding pressure - DO NOT FORCE IT OPEN. Any pressure remaining in the cooker can be dangerous and can cause injury.
Pressure and Adjust Display
This section of the display shows the selected pressure and adjust settings for a preset cooking program.
The pressure and adjust settings will default to High Pressure and Normal Mode for the presel cooking programs. However, these presets can be adjusted by the user to suit their needs, recipe or ingredients by pressing the Pressure or Adjust button. This excludes the YOGHURT and SLOW COOK functions which do not require the pressure setting to function, however the mode setting can still be adjusted. The SAUTÉ functions does not require a pressure or mode setting to function.
Installing the Condensation Cup
The condensation cup is a clear plastic cup (included) that slides into the back side of the appliance. Ensure the cup is properly filled before attempting to use the appliance (the cup will CLICK into place). Check the condensation cup for liquid before and after each use and empty when required.
Note: When removing or installing the condensation cup, ensure the appliance has cooled completely.
Fitting the Lid
For your safety and correct functionality of the appliance, the lid MUST BE fitted correctly and only removed when it is safe to do so. Before attempting to fit the lid ensure the following:
- All food residue has been removed from the upper rim of the inner pot.
PULL UP TO REMOVE FOR CLEANING
- The seal ring inside the lid is undamaged and is correctly fitted to the lid. Please note that the seal ring will already be correctly fitted to the lid on purchase of this appliance. If it is removed to be cleaned, or for some other reason, please follow these instructions to refill it and always check that it is in position before cooking. Push the seal ring with pressure up into the lid, to ensure it is correctly filled.
Note: The lid must be inspected before each use to ensure that all seals and safety mechanisms (valves) are not blocked.
Note: Always plug in and turn on the appliance at the power outlet before fitting the lid so the messages on the LCD display are visible.
- Plug in. The 'OFF' message will be displayed on the LCD screen.
- To lock the lid in place, hold the handle firmly and align the arrow with marking on the lid with the arrow and unlock icon found to the left of the control panel.
- Ensure the lid is resting on top of the appliance evenly and is making contact with all sides. When the lid is incorrectly in place, the word 'Lid' will illuminate on the LCD display and the appliance will beep intermittently.
- Turn the lid clockwise (to the left) until it locks into position (a clicking sound will be heard). The appliance will emit one longer beep signaling the lid is now locked into place and the word 'OFF' will be on the LCD display.
- When filled correctly, the arrow marking on the lid will align with the arrow marking (and locked icon) found on the lip of the outer body (just above the middle of the control panel).
Note: This appliance has built-in safety features that prevents all functions from activating if the lid is not properly locked into place. The appliance will beep intermittently and the message 'Lid' will be shown on the display. When the lid is locked into place, the appliance is ready for use.
Removing the Lid and Releasing the Internal Pressure after Pressure Cooking
When the cooking cycle has finished the appliance will automatically switch to the keep warm function. The keep warm icon on the LCD display will illuminate and the time display will show 00:00. Once the internal pressure has been released the lid can be removed.
There are two methods for removing internal pressure. Please select the most relevant option based on your ingredients and settings used during cooking.
Note: Please also see the included Cooking Tips to understand what pressure release method should be used on what types of food and in which instances.
Natural Pressure Release Method
The appliance can release the pressure build-up itself automatically via the pressure limiting valve over a period of time. The pressure limiting valve does not need to be turned to VENTING, it is just left in the SEALING position and the pressure will be slowly released. This is the slower method of pressure release and can take 1b-30 minutes, depending on what has been cooked.
During this time, cooking continues so it is recommended to use this method for certain cuts of meat, and other foods that contain larger quantities of liquids such as soup, broths, casseroles, rice and risstos.
This provides more time for the excess liquids to evaporate further and ensures a safer method of pressure release. If the Quick Release method is used for foods such as this, liquid will also be forced out of the pressure limiting valve along with the steam, which could cause injury.
Note: The time taken to automatically release all the internal pressure in the appliance, depends on the volume of liquid and the length of time the appliance has been holding pressure.
- Once the cooking cycle has finished and the keep warm function has activated, press the KEEP WARM/CANCEL button on the control panel. The 'OFF' message will be displayed.
Note: We recommend that the KEEP WARM/CANCEL button is not immediately pressed once the cooking cycle is finished. Instead wait a few minutes to allow to cool a little and to avoid releasing the pressure at maximum levels.
- Next, check the position of the float valve. The float valve is located inside the exterior of the handle on the lid and will still be extended outwards if pressure is still contained in the appliance. When all pressure has fully been expelled from the appliance through the pressure release valve (Natural Release method), the float valve will sink and drop back down to its previous position (before cooking started), completely inside the lid.
FLOAT VALVE
SUNKEN
- Once the float valve has sunk completely back inside the lid, turn the pressure limiting valve to the VENTING position (using tongs or oven mills) to expel any remaining pressure from the appliance. Next, press and hold the lid release button and rotate the lid anticlockwise (to the right) until the arrow on the lid lines up with the arrow (and unlock icon) on the lip of the outer body (just to the left of the control panel). Release the button and then lift the lid upwards vertically (to shield any escaping steam).
-
If the lid does not open, a further amount of time is needed for the appliance to automatically release the remaining pressure.
-
Check the float valve again and wait for it to sink back fully into the lid. Once all remaining pressure has been released, the lid will now unlock, allowing it to open easily.
Quick Pressure Release Method
This method requires caution and care when using. Hot steam and liquid will be expelled from the appliance while using this method.
- Once the cooking cycle has finished and the keep warm function has activated, press the KEEP WARM/CANCEL button. The 'OFF' message will be displayed.
- Using long-handled tongs and wearing oven mitts, SLOWLY move the pressure limiting valve from the SEALING position towards the VENTING position until it can go no further.
SEALING
- Wait until there is no more steam escaping from the pressure limiting valve and then release it from the grip of the long handled tongs.
- Press and hold the lid release button rotating the lid anticlockwise (to the right) until the arrow on the lid lines up with the arrow (and unlock icon) on the lip of the appliance (just to the right of the control panel).
- Release the button and then lift the lid upwards vertically (to shield any escaping steam).
- If the lid does not come loose, there is still pressure inside. Follow points 2 and 4 above again to expel any remaining pressure.
- Once all remaining pressure has been released, the lid will now unlock, allowing it to open easily.
Baccarat®
Once the lid has been removed, rest on the side of the appliance using the below steps:
- Locate the lid rest tab.
- Insert the lid rest lab (located on the side of the lid) into the slot found in the side handles of the appliance. The top of the lid will need to be facing outwards.
- The lid will be held in a near vertical position allowing access to the inner pot.
Cooking Use
Filling and Fitting the Inner Pot
For safe operation filling the inner pot with the correct level of ingredients and liquid is critical. The maximum volume the inner pot can accommodate will be dependent on the type of ingredients used as different ingredients respond to pressure cooking in different ways.
Inside the inner pot there are three sets of markings.
The highest marking inside the inner pot is labelled MAX PRESSURE COOK (2/3), which indicates the absolute maximum fill line when cooking most types of ingredients. These ingredients are foods that generally do not expand during cooking, bubble or loam. For example, soups, stocks, meals and vegetables.
Note: If the recipe has lots of different ingredients, for example a soup with vegetables and some beans, then inner pot can be filled up to 2/3 full mark. If cooking only one primary ingredient such as a bean chilli, then the inner pot should never be filled passed the MAX 1/2 full mark.
The second marking is the 1/2 marking and represents half the total capacity of the inner pot. This marking shows the maximum volume of ingredients such as:
- Dry vegetables
- Beans
- Grains
- Other ingredients that swell and rapidly absorb water
Note: These foods either expand during cooking or generate lots of loam (or both). Beans and some grains can swell to twice their size during cooking. The foam and bubbles can block up the valves in the appliance. For these types of ingredients, the Natural Release method should be used. This will avoid liquid and starch being ejected out of the pressure limiting valve and will ensure a safer pressure release method.
The third marking is the RICE CUP marking and represents the number of cups of rice and liquid combined inside the inner pot. The maximum capacity of the inner pot when cooking rice is 8 cups of rice and 8 cups of liquid. NEVER fill the inner pot with rice and liquid past the 8 cup marking.
There should always be a minimum of 1/2 a cup of liquid added to the appliance when cooking. This ensures correct operation and that the inner pot will not boil-dry. However, it is recommended that the best method of pressure cooking is to always ensure there is a minimum of 1 litre of
combined food and liquid in the inner pot. This will give you the best cooking results possible.
To ensure that the inner pot is sitting correctly in the outer pot, gently rotate the inner pot through a full 360'. This process ensures that the inner pot is evenly and correctly seated inside the appliance. Ensure that the ingredients inside the inner pot are evenly distributed.
WARNING: Ensure that the inner pot is correctly sealed inside the appliance. Failure to do so may result in damage to the inner pot and difficulty in filling the lid.
WARNING: Overfilling the inner pot may cause burns or serious injury when cooking. Never overfill the inner pot past the MAX PRESSURE COOK indicator line.
Fitting and Using the Steamer Rack
The steamer rack should be used for the STEAM, EGG and DESSERT preset only.
- Pour a minimum of 250ml of water into the inner pot.
- Carefully place the steam rack inside the pot so that it sits evenly on the bottom of the pot. Ensure the top of the steamer rack is above the water.
- Place the food for steaming on top of the steamer rack, ensuring it is evenly distributed. If the food is too small to sit on top of the steamer rack, it is recommended to place a heat resistant tray, silicone basket or suitable steamer basket on top of the steamer rack to hold the food in place.
Note: Only oven suitable containers should be used inside the appliance
- Ensure that the inner pot is sitting correctly in the appliance.
- Follow the instructions on page 32 to use the STEAM preset.
CAUTION: The steamer rack will become very hot during use. Wait until the appliance and steamer rack have cooled down before removing from the inner pot. Always wear oven mills and use longs to remove the steamer rack.
Selecting the Correct Cooking Program

- 4 large lamb shanks, trimmed
- ¼ cup plain flour
- 1 tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp cracked black pepper
- 2 tosp olive oil
- 1 large brown onion, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, sliced
- 2 x 400g tins chopped tomatoes

- 1½ tbsp maple syrup

a large bowl and toss the lamb to coat.
Dust off the excess and set aside.
- Using the sauté function, heat the oil and brown the lamb shanks on all sides. Work in batches
of one or two at a time to avoid crowding
the pan. Remove the shanks and set aside.
- Add the onion and garlic and sauté for two minutes until softened. Add all remaining ingredients and stir well to combine.
- Carefully place the shanks into the sauce ensuring the meat is covered and the bone is facing up.
- Attach the lid, select the slow cook function and adjust the cooking time to 6 hours.
- When the cooking time has completed, turn off and allow the pressure to release naturally for 20 minutes. Use the pressure valve to release any remaining pressure after this time.
- Remove the shanks and set aside.
Strain the sauce then return the liquid to the
pol to reduce until it coals the back of a spoon.
- Pick the meat from the sharks and add it to the strained solids. Place this mixture back into the pot with the reduced liquid and fold gently to combine.
- Divide the ragù between serving bowls, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with a side of mashed potato.
