3. Place the removable cooking pot into the cooker, and add the ingredients

following your recipe. When cooking foods under pressure, a minimum of 1 cup (8 oz.) of liquid is required. NOTE: Do not fill the pot more than

/3 full food and liquid. Do not fill the unit more than

/2 full when cooking foods that expand during cooking. NOTE: The following foods tend to foam, froth and/or sputter: applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal, split peas, noodles/pasta, rhubarb, etc. These items may block the pressure valve if filled too high in the removable cooking pot. Please be sure not to fill the removable cooking pot more than halfway when pressure cooking these items.

4. Place the lid on the cooker; align the self-locking pin with the unlocked

symbol and turn your lid counterclockwise until it locks into place. You know it’s correctly closed and locked once you hear the pin click into place and the screen displays the Close Lid icon . If you press the START/STOP button to begin cooking, but the lid is open or not locked correctly, the icon on the screen changes from open to close , and the unit beeps to notify you that the lid needs to be closed.

5. Turn the pressure regulator knob to PRESSURE.

6. Turn the dial until the PRESSURE COOK function is selected (the words

7. Choose your desired setting by turning the dial. Press the dial to select the

setting. The preset pressure level (High or Low) and cooking time appears at the top of the screen. If you wish to adjust those settings, turn the dial to select the pressure level (High or Low) and then press the dial or the ADJUST button to confirm it. The cooking time then starts blinking to show it can be adjusted. Change the time by turning the dial and set your time by pressing the START/STOP button. NOTE: Pressing the ADJUST button only switches the programming option between pressure level and cooking time.

8. After you press the START/STOP button, the screen turns green, and it displays

the programmed pressure setting and time at the top of the screen. You also see the preheat callout on the bottom of the screen and the preheating bar which, shows you how far along in the preheating process the unit is. NOTE: If you forget to press the START/STOP button, the unit beeps twice after 30 seconds, the light on the screen turns off and, the unit returns to OPERATING FUNCTIONS *Custom preset time applies to initial use of this function, all subsequent uses will use the previously programmed time.13

ENGLISH ENGLISH standby mode. NOTE: If you have used any of the cook assist functions prior to pressure cooking, the cooker may require some time to come down to the proper temperature. Once the proper temperature has been reached, the unit can begin running the pressure cooking function.

9. Once pressure builds entirely, the unit beeps, the cooking callout appears

at the bottom of the screen, and it starts to count down. Then, your cooking time begins. The floating valve located in the lid rises, indicating that there is pressure inside the unit. While cooking, the function words on the panel will blink for a majority of the cooking time. They will occasionally stop blinking for a few minutes to indicate that the internal temperature is regulating itself. This is perfectly normal and will not affect the performance of the cooker or the end result of the food.

10. When the cooking time ends, the unit beeps and switches to the KEEP WARM

function. The unit beeps periodically to let you know that there is pressure inside the unit. Once you release the pressure, the unit stops beeping and remains on the KEEP WARM function. Press the START/STOP button to cancel the program.

11. After the cooking time is up, release the pressure. You have two options for

releasing the pressure: a. Quick Release Method: Release the pressure immediately by turning the pressure regulator knob to STEAM. CAUTION: THE STEAM COMING OUT OF THE COOKER IS HOT, AND MIGHT CONTAIN DROPLETS OF HOT LIQUID. BE SURE TO USE POT HOLDERS, OVEN MITTS OR A KITCHEN TOWEL WHEN RELEASING PRESSURE. b. Natural Release Method: Release the pressure by shutting the unit off completely. This allows the pressure to drop naturally without turning the pressure regulator knob to STEAM. Natural Release Method takes several minutes, during which the food inside continues cooking. Some recipes (such as risotto) benefit from this extra cooking time. You know when the pressure has been released because the floating valve drops and can open the lid.

12. Once all the pressure is released, remove the lid by turning it clockwise, lifting it

and tilting it away from yourself to avoid getting burnt by any remaining steam or hot water condensation dripping from the inner portion of the lid.

WARNING: AFTER COOKING, THE REMOVABLE COOKING POT IS HOT:

USE POT HOLDERS, OVEN MITTS, OR A KITCHEN TOWEL TO HANDLE IT OR LET IT COOL DOWN BEFORE REMOVING. Pressure Cooking Charts Pressure cooking times are approximate times. Use these cooking times as a general guideline. The amount and type of food most likely alters cooking times. Pressure Cooking Vegetables (Fresh & Frozen): To achieve the best results when pressure cooking fresh or frozen vegetables, please refer to the below tips and hints:

1. Use the Vegetable setting when attempting to pressure cook vegetables. Use

the STEAM function when attempting to steam vegetables.

ENGLISH ENGLISH Yogurt Function You only need two ingredients to make yogurt at home: any type of milk and plain store-bought yogurt (with live active cultures) or starter yogurt. Choosing the Milk: The following types of milk may be used:

1. Pasteurized milk of any fat content (full, 2%, 1% or skim milk)

3. Long-life UHT sterilized milk

4. Soy Milk. Be sure to use UHT soy milk, which contains one of the following

ingredients: fructose, honey, or malt. These ingredients are necessary for fermentation, and you cannot succeed if none are available in the milk. Live Active Cultures-Unflavored Yogurt: All you need is a small amount of plain, unflavored yogurt with live active cultures, often called probiotics. The plain yogurt can either be purchased from a store or used from a previous batch of homemade yogurt. Homemade yogurt can only be used a maximum of 2 times as starter yogurt. If you use the store bought yogurt and prefer a particular brand, try using that one as a starter. The Live & Active Culture seal, from the National Yogurt Association (NYA), helps you recognize those products containing significant amounts of live and active cultures. The seal is a voluntary identification available to all manufacturers of yogurt whose products contain at least 100 million cultures per gram at the time of manufacture. Since the seal program is voluntary, some yogurt products may have some live cultures but not carry the seal. NOTE: For 5 cups of milk use a ½ cup of plain yogurt or 1 packet starter culture; for 1 cup of milk use about one tablespoon of plain yogurt. NOTE: You can make yogurt either directly in the removable cooking pot or using glass jars in the removable cooking pot by placing them in the steamer. Yogurt Function Temperature/Timer Chart: Setting Temperature Preset Time Timer HEAT 180°F n/a n/a YGRT 104°F-109°F 8 hours Up to 24 hours, 30-minute increments Yogurt Making Process:

The display reads HEAT, and once the milk reaches the proper temperature of 180°F-185°F, the unit beeps and goes to standby mode. Use a thermometer to make sure that proper temperature has reached. NOTE: The unit only detects the proper temperature of 180°F-185°F when a half gallon (8 cups) of milk is in use. If using a different amount of milk, please use a thermometer to make sure that proper temperature has reached. If needed, rerun the HEAT program again to get to the proper temperature.

3. Remove the removable cooking pot from heat using a kitchen towel or

oven mitts and allow the milk to cool to anywhere between 100°F-110°F. To accelerate the cooling down process, place the removable cooking pot in cold water. Do not let it cool below 90°F.

before serving, or until yogurt cools. If you prefer making Greek yogurt, please see page 30. Helpful Hints and Tips:

• The probiotics and live active cultures are at its best when the yogurt is fresh. For the best results, only use the same starter yogurt 2 times max. After a few days, the probiotics in the previous batch can weaken, and the yogurt may result in a liquid consistency.

• You may choose to make flavored yogurt and add sugar, honey, flavorings, fruit, or other ingredients to taste test just before to eating.

• For best results and ease of preparation, use whole or semi-skimmed UHT milk or reconstituted milk powder. They don’t need to be heated or cooled down.

• The “best before” date for natural yogurts are 7 days after the yogurt was made, depending on the freshness of the milk. When in doubt, use the expiration date on your milk as a guideline.31

ENGLISH ENGLISH Greek Yogurt

1. Place a strainer or a cheesecloth inside a container, so the strainer doesn’t

touch the bottom of the container to allow for better drainage.

2. Pour the homemade yogurt into the strainer or cheesecloth and cover. Put it in

the refrigerator to strain and chill for at least 2 hours. The longer the time, the thicker the yogurt becomes.

3. Gently remove yogurt from strainer or cheesecloth by turning the strainer or

cheesecloth upside down on a plate or container.

4. Put it back in the refrigerator to chill for another few hours before serving.

After you press the START/STOP button, the screen turns green, and it displays the programmed setting and time at the top. You also see the preheat icon on the bottom of the screen and the preheating bar, which shows you how far along in the preheating process the unit is. NOTE: If you forget to press the START/STOP button, the unit beeps, the cooking icon appears at the bottom of the screen twice after 30 seconds, the light on the screen turns off, and the unit returns to standby mode.8. Once pressure builds entirely, the unit beeps and it starts to count down your cooking time. The floating valve located on the lid rises indicating, that there is pressure inside the unit. While cooking, the function words on the panel will blink for a majority of the cooking time. They will occasionally stop blinking for a few minutes to indicate that the internal temperature is regulating itself. This is perfectly normal and will not affect the performance of the cooker or the end result of the food. NOTE: When using the White Rice setting, only the outer display lines shows once the temperature has reached. There is no preset cooking time for this setting as the unit itself detects the water levels in the unit and beeps once the rice steamed correctly. The cooking time depends on how much rice you are cooking.

WARNING: NEVER DEEP FRY OR PRESSURE FRY IN THE MULTI-COOKER.

IT IS DANGEROUS AND MAY CAUSE A FIRE AND SERIOUS DAMAGE. 9. When the cooking time ends, the unit beeps and switches to the KEEP WARM function.

BE SURE TO USE POT HOLDERS, OVEN MITTS OR A KITCHEN TOWEL WHEN RELEASING PRESSURE. b. Natural Release Method: Release the pressure by shutting the unit off completely: this allows the pressure to drop naturally without turning the pressure regulator knob to STEAM. Natural Release Method takes several minutes, during which the food inside continues cooking. Some recipes (such as quinoa) benefit from extra cooking time. You know when the pressure has been released because the floating valve drops and can open the lid.11.
