The pressure cooker can be used for steaming, simmering and stewing fresh of even frozen foods. You can even use it for canning or baking. Prepare everything from delicate soups or desserts to hearty meat dishes.

MULTIPLE SAFETY DEVICES:

Lid Safety Device

If the lid does not fasten to the housing, the pressure will not build. If there is pressure already built inside the pot, the lid will not be able to open.

Pressure Control

During operation, if pressure exceeds the default pressure, the pressure cooker will automatically shut off to prevent any pressure from leaking.

Maintaining Pressure

If the thermostat and pressure controller are broken, and the pressure exceeds the maximum level; excess pressure will automatically discharge from the pressure relief valve.

Anti-Block Device

Ensures the pressure vents smoothly.

Pressure Release Safety Device

If the pressure cooker fails to maintain the proper pressure, and the pressure exceeds the maximum level; the excess pressure will automatically discharge from another area to avoid explosion.

Temperature Controller

If the inner pot heats up while empty or if the inner pot exceeds the setting temperature, the pressure cooker will automatically shut off.

Thermostat:

Once the inner pot exceeds the maximum temperature limit, the pressure cooker will automatically shut off.

PRESSURE COOKING NOTES

Tip

The pressure cooker will beep to indicate that the cooking time is complete.

Pressure

The function selected will determine the amount of pressure time. In this example, the display will show "P0:10" (pressure time). The colon ":" will flash to indicate the pressure cooker is under pressure and the timer is counting down.

Auto Warm Feature

When pressure cooking is complete, the pressure cooker will automatically switch to the warm function. This allows the pressure to naturally release while your food remains warm. The times for the presets are listed on page 12.

What is quick release?

To quickly release the pressure, simply press the Quick Release Button. This will rapidly release the steam, and when the pressure indicator is down; this allows you to safely open your pressure cooker. By releasing the steam this way, you can quickly open the pressure cooker without cooling off the pot and stopping the cooking process.

What is natural release?

To naturally release the pressure, simply wait for the pressure indicator to go down, allowing the pressure cooker to naturally release steam as it slowly cools. This allows you to finish the cooking process as the pressure cooker gradually releases steam. The natural release method takes up to 15

minutes. If the pressure remains in the pressure cooker, simply press the Quick Release Button to release any remaining pressure.

PRESSURE CANNING

Canning:

Foods with lower acid content have a greater potential for spoilage and contamination that high acidity foods. Proper pressure canning minimizes the chances of spoilage and contamination.

LOW ACID FOODS			HIGH ACID FOODS
Asparagus	Mushrooms		Apples	Oranges
Beans	Okra		Applesauce	Peaches
Beets	Peas		Apricots	Pears
Carrots	Potatoes		Berries	Pickled Beets
Corn	Seafood		Cherries	Pineapples
Hominy	Spinach		Cranberries	Plums
Meat	Winter Squash		Fruit Juices	Rhubarb

Never alter cooking times, temperatures or ingredients when pressure canning. Doing so can be extremely dangerous as there is no room for experimentation. Following the exact cooking times, temperatures and ingredients listed in the recipe will ensure that your food is protected from harmful enzymes, bacteria and mold. Altering the cooking time may destroy the food's nutrients and flavour.

Enzymes found in food may promote growth of yeast and mold, which in turn causes food to spoil. These enzymes can be killed at temperatures 212°F and higher. Other contaminants, such as salmonella, staphylococcus aureus, and clostridium botulinum, can only be killed at temperatures 240°F. These higher temperatures can only be achieved by pressure canning.

PLEASE NOTE: Before pressure canning in the pressure cooker, consult an instructional book written specifically for pressure canning. The pressure cooker can be used for basic pressure canning, along

with the water bath method. Both low and high acid fruits and vegetables are recommended. Meat and seafood are not recommended to be pressure canned.

SAFE CANNING TIPS:

1. Do not use overripe fruit. Bad quality degrades with storage.
2. Do not add more low-acid ingredients (onions, celery, peppers, garlic, etc) than specified in the written recipe. This may lead to an unsafe end result.

3. Don't use too many spices. Many spices tend to contain high levels of bacteria, which may result it unsafe canned goods.

4. Do not add butter or fat to the recipe. Fats do not store well and may cause premature spoilage. Never use thickeners such a flour, starch, pasta, rice or barley.

5. Use only USDA recommended tools and accessories.

Though your exact experience may vary depending on the specific recipe you are following, most recipes can be prepared by following this guide.

1. Only follow recipes that have been tested for pressure canning. Prepare the necessary ingredients as instructed in the recipe.
2. Fill clean 16-ounce mason jars to the level. Do not allow ingredients to exceed the level. Always leave no less than 1 inch of head space.

3. Gently remove any lingering air bubbles by pressing a flexible, nonporous spatula between the ingredients and the jar itself.

4. Place a clean lid onto each jar, then add a screw band. Turn the lid clockwise and tighten in place.

NOTE: Never re-tighten lids after pressurizing the jars. As the jars cool, the contents will contract, pulling the lid firmly against the jar to form a high vacuum and create a seal. If the screw bands are too loose, liquid may escape from the jars during this process, causing the seals to fail. If the screw bands are too tight, air cannot vent during this process, causing food to discolour while in storage. Tightening the lids too much may also cause the lids to buckle and the jars to break. Screw bands are not needed on stored jars. Remove after jars have cooled. When removed, washed, dried and stored, screw bands may be used many times.

If left on stored jars, they become difficult to remove, often rust and may not work properly again.

1. Place the inner pot in the base unit. Then put the wire rack in the bottom of the inner pot. Place filled, sealed jars on rack. Unit will hold up to 4-16 oz. jars (maximum).

2. Pour hot water over the jars and into the inner pot until the water level reaches 1/4 of the way up the sides of the jars. For 4-16 oz. This would be about 6 cups of water. When processing fewer jars, more water would be needed.

1/4

1. After reading the Instruction Manual, put the lid on the base and lock in place. Plug the unit into the wall outlet.
2. Press the "canning" button, Pressure Cooker will default to 20 minutes. To change pressure time, to go to "time" button then adjust accordingly.
3. When the canning process is complete, the unit will shut off. Press the pressure release button to release the pressure. Once all the steam has escaped, carefully remove the lid.
4. Using canning tongs, remove the hot jars and place them on a heat resistant surface and allow to cool down to room temperature.
5. When jars are thoroughly cool, remove the screw bands. The lids should be tightly sealed to the jars and when pressed in the center they should not have any "give" or springing motion. If they do, you cannot safely store this food for future use. It must be reprocessed immediately or refrigerated and used within a few days.
6. Place the finished jars on shelves in a cool, clean, dry atmosphere. Properly processed food will last for months and seasons. Jars, lids and screw bands are reusable. Check all carefully for damage before reuse.

IMPORTANT: It is recommended to use the pressure cooker as a canning device at altitudes of 2,000 feet above sea level or higher.

NOTES & TIPS:

• While the jars are cooling, you will hear the lids emit a faint clocking sound. This sound indicates that the lids have properly sealed.
• You can check the seal on flat lids by pressing down with your thumb after they have cooled for one hour or more. If the lid remains stiff with no movement, then the lids have properly sealed.
• If the lids have not properly sealed after 2 hours of cooling, the pressure canning process did not work. Should this happen, refrigerate or freeze the ingredients and use within the standard use-by dates.
• Always use supplies specifically manufactured for the purpose of canning. For best results, use mason jars that are no larger than 16 ounces. When pressure canning, never stack the jars.

Use chart below. The canning function goes to a default of 20 minutes.
