8. Anti-Blocking Case: Pull it towards yourself to release the pressure regulator knob for cleaning.
9. Condensation Reservoir: Collects excess condensation during cooking. If there is some liquid in the reservoir after cooking, empty it.
10. Heating Element and Temperature Sensor: Both elements regulate the cooking temperature inside the pot.
11. Removable Cooking Pot: Stainless steel pot is dishwasher safe, but hand washing is always recommended.
12. Stationary Pot: This pot cannot be removed from the electric multi-cooker and should NEVER be used for cooking. Before cooking, make sure to place the removable cooking pot into the stationary pot first. All ingredients should be placed into the removable cooking pot ONLY.
13. Stainless Steel Rack: Used to keep food off the floor of the inner pot to prevent them from sitting in their juices/fats. Allows for better steam flow/

distribution when pressure cooking or steaming foods. The handles make for easy transporting of the rack.

NOTE: When cooking smaller sized foods, make sure they do not fall through the grates on the rack.

1. Control Panel: The easy to use controls allow you to select the different programs available with the touch of a finger. The panel is equipped with 4 icons that let you know which stage of the cooking process the multi-cooker is at. Also, on the control panel you can find the HIGH and LOW indicator lights which blink while pressure or temperature is building. These three lights turn solid once the unit has reached proper pressure or temperature.

Getting Started: Before First Use

Read the safety instructions found in this manual before plugging in and operating the unit. Before using the multi-cooker for the first time, follow these steps:

1. Remove all packing materials and literature from within the ZAVOR LUX™ EDGE Multi-Cooker. Lift out the removable cooking pot and remove any pieces of paper from under it. Remove the plastic protection from the control panel and any stickers from the lid or stainless steel housing.
2. Wash all the removable parts in warm soapy water, rinse, and dry all parts thoroughly. Wipe the stainless steel outer housing with a clean damp cloth. NEVER submerge the stainless steel outer housing in water or any other liquid. Only the removable cooking pot is dishwasher safe.

Pressure Cooking Program

This program allows food to cook faster under pressure by reducing cooking time up to 70% compared to traditional cooking methods. Pressure cooking is fast, easy, safe and healthy!

1. Before every use, make sure the silicone gasket and the pressure regulating valves are clean and correctly placed within the cooker.
2. Plug the cord into a wall outlet.
3. Place the removable cooking pot into the cooker, and add the ingredients following the 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 2/3 full of food and liquid. Do not fill the unit more than 12 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, or rhubarb. These items may block the pressure valve if filled too high in the removable cooking pot. Please be sure when pressure cooking these items to not fill the removable cooking pot more than halfway.

1. Place the lid on the cooker; aligning the locking pin on the handle with the unlocked symbol and turn your lid counterclockwise until it locks into place. You know when this unit is locked once you hear the pin click into place.

2. Turn the pressure regulator knob to PRESSURE.

3. Choose the desired cooking mode by pressing the PRESSURE COOK button once for HIGH pressure and twice for LOW pressure.

4. Set the desired cooking time by pressing the + or - buttons once for each additional minute or to fast advance, hold the button down until you reach the desired time. The maximum pressure cooking time is 6 hours.
5. Press the START/STOP button to begin cooking. The pressure icon and indicator lights flash when the unit has begun to build pressure. If you forget to select the desired cooking time or forget to press the START/STOP button, the unit beeps and the digital display reads --:-- after 30 seconds.
6. Once pressure builds entirely, all the lights and the pressure icon stay lit, and then the unit beeps. Then, your cook time begins.

WARNING: NEVER TRY TO FORCE THE LID OPEN WHILE YOU ARE COOKING UNDER PRESSURE. THIS CAN RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

WARNING: NEVER DEEP FRY OR PRESSURE FRY IN THE MULTI-COOKER. IT IS DANGEROUS AND MAY CAUSE A FIRE AND SERIOUS DAMAGE.

1. The cooker beeps once the cooking time ends. It turns the automatic KEEP WARM function on and the light on the TIME DELAY/KEEP WARM button, as well as the temperature icon, blinks until you press the START/STOP button to cancel the program or 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 POTHOLDERS OR A KITCHEN TOWEL WHEN RELEASING PRESSURE.

b. Natural Release Method: Turn the KEEP WARM function off by pressing the START/STOP button: 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 is all released because the floating valve drops, and you will be able can open the lid.

NOTE: If you do not press the START/STOP button at the end of the cooking time, the multi-cooker switches to KEEP WARM and will beep periodically to remind you to release pressure.

11.Once all the pressure is released, remove the lid by turning it clockwise, lifting, and tilting the lid away from yourself to avoid any remaining steam or hot water condensation dripping from the inner portion of the lid.

Yogurt Program

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)
2. Powdered 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 be successful 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 12 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 on a steamer.

Yogurt Making Process:

1. Take the starter yogurt from the refrigerator so that it has time to get closer to room temperature while you heat the milk.
2. Place the amount of milk desired in the removable cooking pot. Place the lid on the cooker, turn the pressure regulator knob to STEAM and heat the milk to 180^ - 185^ by pressing the YOGURT function ONCE and then pressing START/STOP. The temperature icon blinks while the unit is heating. The display reads HEAT, and once the milk reaches the proper temperature of 180^ - 185^ , the unit beeps and goes to standby mode. Use a thermometer to make sure that proper temperature has fully reached.

NOTE: The unit only detects the proper temperature of 180^ - 185^ when a half gallon (8 cups) of milk is used. If using a different amount of milk, please use a thermometer to make sure that proper temperature has fully reached. If needed run the HEAT program again to get to the proper temperature.

1. Remove the removable cooking pot from heat and allow the milk to cool to anywhere between 100^ - 110^ . To accelerate the cooling down process, place the removable cooking pot in cold water. Do not let it cool below 90^ . Use a thermometer to make sure that proper temperature has been reached.
2. Stir in the plain yogurt or starter culture packet and use a silicone whisk to mix it with the milk until the consistency is smooth with no lumps remaining.
3. Place the lid on the multi-cooker; align the locking pin on the lid with the open lock symbol and turn it counterclockwise until the locking pin clicks into place. Turn the pressure regulator knob to STEAM when using the yogurt program. Press the YOGURT button TWICE. The preset cooking time is 8 hours. Depending on the flavor of yogurt you like best, you can choose how long to cook the yogurt for by pressing the + or - button once for each additional half hour or to decrease the time by a half hour. To fast advance, hold the button down until you reach the desired cooking time. The longest cooking time is 24 hours. The preparation time impacts the yogurt taste. With longer cooking time, the yogurt will have a more tart flavor. With shorter time, the yogurt will have a milder flavor.
4. Press the START/STOP button to begin the yogurt function. The temperature icon blinks while the incubation temperature is rising. Once the incubation process begins, the temperature icon remains lit: the unit begins to count down in 1-minute increments, and the display alternates between showing YGRT and the remaining cooking time.
5. When the yogurt is ready, remove the lid. There may be some yellowish liquid (whey), on top of the yogurt. Don't worry, this is normal, whey contains nutrients and protein. Mix it back into the yogurt.
6. If you prefer regular yogurt, cover and place in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours before serving, or until yogurt cools down. If you prefer making Greek yogurt, please refer to page 33.

NOTE: THE MULTI-COOKER SHOULD REMAIN PERFECTLY STILL DURING THE COOKING PROCESS. DO NOT MOVE THE APPLIANCE; DO NOT

REMOVE THE REMOVABLE COOKING POT OR THE LID AS THIS WILL AFFECT THE FIRMNESS OF THE YOGURT. DO NOT ADD ANY FLAVORING BEFORE COMPLETING THE YOGURT MAKING PROCESS.

Yogurt Making in Glass Jars:

1. Take the starter yogurt from the refrigerator so that it has time to get closer to room temperature while you heat the milk.
2. When you heat the milk in glass jars, add 1 cup of water into the removable cooking pot, then insert the stainless steel rack and place your glass jars on top of the rack. Place the lid on the multi-cooker; align the locking pin on the handle with the open lock symbol and turn it counterclockwise until the locking pin clicks into place. Turn the pressure regulator knob to STEAM. Press the YOGURT button ONCE and then press START/STOP to heat the milk to 180^ - 185^ . Once the unit reaches the proper temperature of 180^ - 185^ , the unit beeps and goes to standby mode.
3. After heating the milk, allow it to cool to anywhere between 100^ - 110^ . To accelerate the cooling down process, remove the jars from the inner pot with a kitchen towel or some other form of hand protection. Do not let it cool below 90^ . Use a thermometer to make sure that proper temperature has fully reached.
4. Stir in the plain yogurt with live active culture and use a spoon to mix it with the milk until the consistency is smooth with no lumps remaining.
5. Place the lid on the multi-cooker; align the locking pin on the handle with the open lock symbol and turn it counterclockwise until the locking pin clicks into place. Turn the pressure regulator knob to STEAM. Press the YOGURT button TWICE. The preset cooking time is 8 hours. Depending on the flavor of yogurt you like best, you can choose how long to cook the yogurt for by pressing the + or - button once for each additional half hour or to decrease the time by a half hour. To fast advance, hold the button down until you reach the desired cooking time. The longest cooking time is 24 hours. The preparation time impacts the yogurt taste. With longer cooking time, the yogurt will have a more tart flavor. With a shorter time, the yogurt will have a milder flavor.
6. Press the START/STOP button to begin the yogurt function. The temperature icon and YOGURT button light blink while the incubation temperature is rising. Once the incubation process begins, the temperature icon and YOGURT button light remain lit; the unit begins to count down in 1-minute increments and the display alternates between showing YGRT and the remaining cooking time.
7. When the yogurt is ready, remove the lid. There may be some yellowish liquid (whey) on top of the yogurt. Don't worry, this is normal, whey contains nutrients and protein. Mix it back into the yogurt.
8. If you prefer regular yogurt, cover and place in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours before serving, or until yogurt cools. If you prefer making Greek yogurt,

please refer to page 33.

Helpful Hints and Tips:

• The probiotics and live active cultures are at their best when the yogurt is fresh. For the best results, only repeat the same starter yogurt 2 times max. After a few days, the probiotics in the previous batch can weaken and the yogurt may contain a liquid consistency.
• You may choose to make flavored yogurt and add sugar, honey, flavorings, fruit, or other ingredients prior 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 the date the yogurts were made plus 7 days, depending on the freshness of the milk. When in doubt, use the expiration date on your milk as a guideline.

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 with the lid. 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.
