BEFORE YOU START

Cautions in use

The red float valve rises when the cooker is under pressure.

Never attempt to remove the lid when the float valve indicates that the cooker is under pressure.

Location for your cooker

• Choose a flat, stable location within reach of a mains power outlet.
• Clear away any items that may be damaged by the heat or steam from the cooker.

Placement cautions

Ensure that the appliance is located out of the reach of children when operational. Never place the appliance under a cupboard or overhanging surface. Exposure to steam during the cooking process may damage the surface.

Assembling the lid

The valves and other components of the lid can be disassembled for cleaning. Ensure that all lid components are correctly assembled to the lid before each use.

Condensation collector

The condensation collector is a small, narrow cup that slides onto the side at the back of the cooker as shown.

Diagram of a mechanical component with a black arrow pointing to a specific part (no text or symbols present)

It will collect any fluid that condenses around the rim of the cooker during the cooking operation.

The condensation collector should always be fitted during cooking. When cooking is complete, the condensation collector should be emptied and cleaned.

BEFORE YOU START

Food volume

For fresh ingredients such as meat and vegetables, never exceed the MAX mark on the inside of the bowl.

For rice, dry beans, dried vegetables, pulses and grains, never exceed 50% of the bowl capacity with total volume of food and liquid as these foods will expand when cooking and could block the safety valves.

Preparation guidelines

This section includes some guidelines to get you started with pressure cooking of basic food types. Use these guidelines to begin cooking with your-cooker and update your recipes as you learn to cook to your preference.

Always check that food is fully cooked before serving it.

Browse the Internet for many more pressure cooking recipes and ideas.

Preparing meat

Meat will generally cook best if it is first browned in a little oil in a pan on the stove. Whole cuts can be cooked or meat can be cooked or meat can be cubed pieces, but cooking times should be adjusted accordingly. Add approximately 250ml water or stock in the pan if cooking for less than 45 minutes. For longer cooking times, add 375ml.

Preparing fresh vegetables

Prepare vegetables as you would when cooking them in a regular pan on the stove. Wash and peel them, then cut into equal size pieces to cook uniformly. Add approximately 120ml water or stock to the pan with the vegetables.

Preparing long grain or basmati rice

Measure the rice into a bowl and rinse it first in a few changes of water. 160ml of dry rice is approximately one portion. Add approximately 240ml water per 160ml measure to the bowl and 15-20ml oil to reduce foaming.

Preparing brown rice

Follow the previous instruction for white rice, but add 50% more water.

Dried beans, pulses etc

Pick over the beans and discard any stones or debris. Place the beans into a bowl and rinse in a few changes of water. Place the beans in the cooking bowl with onions, garlic, herbs etc to taste. Add water in the ratio of approximately 1500ml to 500g beans and 30-50 ml oil to reduce foaming.
