Frequently Asked Questions - Cook 4 Me CZ700 KRUPS

How do I use the pressure cook function?

Select the Pressure Cook mode using the control panel. Add ingredients and liquid, close the lid securely, turn the pressure valve to the 'Seal' position, and set the time. The unit will build pressure and begin cooking. After cooking, release pressure naturally or manually using the quick-release button.

Can I use the saucepan for slow cooking?

Yes, the Slow Cook mode is available. Add your ingredients, select the mode, and set the desired cooking time (usually 4-8 hours). The lid can be left slightly ajar or closed with the vent open for slow cooking.

How do I clean the inner pot?

The inner pot has a non-stick coating and is dishwasher safe. For hand washing, use warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners or metal utensils to protect the coating.

What is the maximum capacity for rice?

For rice, do not fill the pot beyond the 1/2 level to allow for expansion. Typically, up to 6 cups of uncooked rice can be prepared, but always refer to the internal markings on the inner pot.

How do I release pressure after cooking?

There are two methods: Natural release (allow pressure to drop on its own, 10-20 minutes) or Quick release (turn the steam valve to 'Vent' to release steam rapidly). Always keep hands and face away from the steam vent.

Can I open the lid during cooking?

No, the lid is safety-locked while pressure is inside. The unit will only allow opening when all pressure has been released and the float valve has dropped down. Never force the lid open.

What are the safety features?

The Cook 4 Me CZ700 includes overheat protection, a pressure regulator, and a lid locking system. These ensure safe operation by preventing excess pressure, overheating, and accidental opening.

Where can I find spare parts?

Spare parts such as the lid gasket, inner pot, and steam valve are available on the Krups website or through authorized service centers. Visit www.krups.com for more information.

Is the inner pot dishwasher safe?

Yes, the stainless steel inner pot with non-stick coating is dishwasher safe. For best results, place it on the top rack. Hand washing is also recommended to extend the non-stick lifespan.

How do I set the timer?

After selecting a cooking mode, use the + and - buttons to adjust the time shown on the digital display. Confirm by pressing the start button. The timer will count down once cooking begins.

■ Children shall not play with the appliance. - Do not fill your appliance more than the MAX mark on the pot. Do not fill it more than half full for food that expands during cooking, such as rice, dehydrated vegetables.

Reduce the volume of water to avoid the risk of boiling over.

■ Please follow the recommendations on the volume of food and water to avoid the risk of boiling over which can damage your appliance and cause injury. ■ Before using your appliance, check that the float valve and the pressure limit valve are clean (see section Cleaning and maintenance).

■ Do not place any foreign objects in the pressure relief system. Do not replace the valve. ■ When you open the lid, always hold it by the lid handle. Position your arms in alignment with the side carrying handles. Boiling water could remain trapped between the gasket support and the lid and could cause burns.

■ Be careful also about the risk of scalding from the steam coming out of the appliance when you open the lid. First open the lid very slightly to allow the steam to escape gently. ■ Never force the appliance open. Make sure that the inside pressure has returned to normal. Do not open the lid when the product is under pressure. To do so, see the Instructions for use.

■ Use only the appropriate spare parts for your model. This is particularly important for the sealing gasket, the cooking pot and the metal lid. ■ Do not damage the sealing gasket. If it is damaged, have it replaced in an Approved Service Centre. ■ The steamer base for cooking is already integrated into the appliance. - Do not place the appliance in a heated oven or on a hot hob. Do not place the appliance close to an open flame or a flammable object. ■ Do not heat the cooking pot with any other heat source than the heating plate of the appliance and do not use any other pot. Do not use the cooking pot with other appliances. ■ Move the appliance with great care when it is under pressure. Do not touch the hot surfaces. Use the carrying handles when moving it and wear oven mitts, if necessary. Do not use the lid handle to lift the appliance.

- Do not use the appliance empty, without its pot or without liquid inside the pot. This could cause serious damage to the appliance.

■ After cooking meat which has an outer layer of skin (such as ox tongue), which could swell due to the effects of pressure, do not pierce the skin after cooking if it appears swollen: you could get burnt. Pierce it before cooking.

■ When cooking food with a thick texture (chick peas, rhubarb, compotes, etc.), shake the appliance slightly before opening it to ensure that the food or cooking juices do not spurt out.

■ Do not use the appliance to fry food in oil. Only browning is allowed.

In browning mode, be careful of risks of burns caused by spattering when you add food or ingredients into the hot pot.

■ During cooking and automatic steam release at the end of cooking, the appliance releases heat and steam. Keep your face and hands away from the appliance to avoid scalding. Do not touch the lid during cooking.

■ Do not use a cloth or anything else between the lid and the housing to leave the lid ajar. This can permanently damage the gasket.

■ Do not touch the safety devices, except while cleaning and maintaining the appliance in accordance with the instructions given.

■ Make sure that the bottom of the cooking pot and the heating element are always clean. Make sure that the central part of the heating plate is mobile.

■ Do not fill up your appliance without its cooking pot.

■ Use a plastic or wooden spoon to prevent any damage to the non-stick coating of the pot. Do not cut food directly in the cooking pot.

If a great deal of steam is released from the rim of the lid, unplug the power cord at once and check whether the appliance is clean. If necessary, send the appliance to an Approved Service Centre for repair.

■ Do not carry the appliance by holding it by the handles of the removable pot. Always use the two side handles on the housing of the appliance. Wear oven mitts if the appliance is hot. For more safety, make sure that the lid is locked before transporting the appliance.
