Frequently Asked Questions - CEMCSP1000I CONTINENTAL EDISON

How to open the lid safely after cooking?

Turn off the power and wait until the internal pressure has completely dropped. The float valve must be down. For quick opening (non-fluid foods), turn the pressure release valve to the release position. For fluid foods (soup, porridge), allow natural cooling. Never force the lid open.

What to do if steam escapes from the lid?

Check that the sealing gasket is properly installed and clean. If the gasket is damaged, replace it. Also make sure the lid is firmly closed by turning it fully clockwise.

How to clean the pressure release valve and float valve?

Remove the pressure release valve from the lid. Clean the inside of the valve and the float valve with a brush and cloth at least once a month. Use a mild detergent to remove oil and dirt.

Why is my rice half-cooked or too hard?

The amount of water may be insufficient. Add more water according to the recipe. Also, make sure not to open the lid prematurely: let it rest for 5 minutes after the cooking cycle ends.

What do the error codes E1, E2, C1, E8 on the display mean?

E1 indicates a bottom sensor failure; E2 a pressure switch failure; C1 high temperature due to lack of water in the pot; E8 a pressure switch failure. Contact an authorized repair center.

Can I use a different pot than the one provided?

No, use only the specific inner pot provided with the appliance. Another pot could cause overheating or malfunction.

How to set the delayed timer?

Before starting cooking, press the 'Delay Timer' button, then set the desired time with the '+' and '-' buttons. The appliance will start automatically after the set delay.

The appliance makes a clicking sound during cooking, is this normal?

Yes, it is normal to hear a clicking sound during operation. This comes from the pressure and temperature regulation system. Rest assured, it is normal.

How to maintain the sealing gasket?

After each use, clean the sealing gasket and the anti-clog filter with a clean cloth. Do not pull on the gasket to avoid deformation. Replace it if damaged.

Can I use the appliance for frying?

No, never use the pressure cooker in pressurized mode for deep frying or shallow frying. This could cause injury or damage the appliance.
