Frequently Asked Questions - PKPRC66 Nutrichef

How do I open the lid after cooking?

Ensure the pressure valve is down (float valve lowered). Turn the lid handle counterclockwise and lift. Do not force open if the float is up.

What should I do if steam leaks from the lid rim?

Check that the seal ring is properly installed and clean. If worn, replace it. Also ensure the lid is fully locked.

Can I use metal utensils in the inner pot?

No, use wooden or plastic utensils to avoid damaging the non-stick coating.

How do I set the preset timer?

Select a cooking mode, press Preset, adjust delay time using +/- buttons (hours via +, minutes via -), then press On/Off/Warm to confirm.

Why won't the lid close?

Ensure the seal ring is installed correctly and the pressure valve rod is not stuck. Push the rod down if needed.

What is the maximum keep warm duration?

The cooker keeps warm for up to 24 hours after cooking. Press On/Off/Warm to cancel.

How do I clean the pressure limit valve?

Remove the valve, rinse it with water, and dry before reattaching. Ensure the anti-block cover is also clean.

Why does the display show 'P:05' during cooking?

The 'P' indicates pressure is stable. The number shows remaining pressure-keeping time in minutes.

Can I cook frozen food directly?

The manual does not specify frozen food, but it is safe to use frozen ingredients as long as the total volume does not exceed guidelines.

What should I do if the float valve does not drop after pressure release?

Wait for the pressure to fully release or use chopsticks to gently press the float valve down.

USER MANUAL PKPRC66 Nutrichef

This automatic electrical pressure cooker is a new kind of cooking appliance, adopting the advanced technology and merits of a pressure cooker, electrical rice cooker and braising cooker. It has an advanced structure and new layout and design that emphasizes safety, reliability, multi-functionality, ease-of-use, and time and energy-savings. It is an ideal cooking appliance for the modern family and replaces the pressure cooker, electrical rice cooker and braising cooker.

1. Depending on the type of food, individual preference, and cooking experience, you may choose the cooking time. Once the food is finished, the automatic electrical pressure cooker will switch to the “KEEP WARM” function automatically.
2. Because of its high cooking efficiency, the automatic electrical pressure cooker saves 60% more energy and 40% compared to the electrical rice cooker by 60% and time by 40% during cooking congee, soup and braising food.
3. The automatic electrical pressure cooker keeps the food's nutrition and its flavor intact by cooking the food in the hermetically sealed inner pot.
4. Non-stick coating makes the inner pot easy to clean.

SAFETY FEATURES

1. Open and close lid safety device

With the open and close lid safety device, the pressure cooker cannot pressurize if the lid and body can't match correctly. Likewise, the lid cannot be opened with pressure inside.

Pressure valve

2. Pressure control device

Pressure cooker would be power off automatically if the air pressure in the pot is over the limit.

3. Pressure limit valve

There is a pressure limit device which would work once the air pressure is over the limit and the thermostat is out of control. At this time, the steam valve would release the steam automatically for safety.

Pressure limit valve

4. Anti-block cover

It prevents the food from blocking the pressure limit valve. Before use always make sure the anti-block cover is clean

5. Temperature limited device

Once the temperature of the inner pot exceeds the setting by use such as dry boil, the pressure cooker would stop cooking before the internal temperature reaches the right point.

6. Over temperature control device

The unit powers off when the internal temperature reaches its maximum.

7. Thermostat

Cooking will halt once the temperature of the inner pot reaches its target high point and doesn't automatically reset the cooking process.

8. Timer protection

The cooking time will strictly comply with the amount you set.

Preset function

Caution: this functions allows you to delay the cooking process on food for up to 23:50 however, we do not recommend

this for perishable foods like the meat. If left at room temperature for more than 2 hours it may spoil. You can use the Preset function for all the modes.

1. Choose the mode with which you want to delay cooking, "Rice" for example
2. Press “RICE” button, it will make a beep sound, “RICE” button indicator light will turn on, LED will show default keep pressure time of 00:10.

Use “+” button to increase the delay time in 1 hour increments, and Use “-” button to increase delayed time in 10 minute increments. For example, if you want rice to cook after 4:10 hours you need to press “+” button 3 times, and “-” button 1 time, and LED will show 04:10 and blink.
5. Press On/Off/Warm button to confirm the time delay setting. Only “:” will blink in the LED and the time will start counting down from 04:10 to 00:00 (time based on earlier example).
6. After delayed time is finished, the cooker will start cooking rice.

Note: if you choose any mode and forget operate (such as press On/Off/Warm button), there will be a continuous reminder beep sound which prompts you to go to the next operation.

If the cooker is keeping warm with high pressure, the “WARM” indicator light will blink until the pressure is at a safe level. When the pressure is safe, the “WARM” indicator light will be on and NOT blink.

CLEANING

1. Unplug the cord before cleaning
2. Clean the body of the unit with a cloth. Do not immerse the unit in water or pour water into it.
3. Clean the inner pot with sponge or nonmetallic soft brush, and then wipe it dry.
4. Rinse the inner side of lid including sealing ring, pressure limit valve, anti-block cover, air escape and pressure valve, then dry them up.

*Clean the sealing ring and the sealing ring supporting cover. Hold the handle of the sealing ring supporting cover, pull it up and clean it with water, then press it down to the supporting axe. Check whether the clearance between the sealing ring and the rim of the lid is even and whether the supporting cover can rotate easily. Make sure not to assemble the sealing ring supporting cover up side down. (See picture 12 & 13)

Picture 12
Picture 13

* Clean the anti-block cover.
* Clean the whole cover.
* Clean the pressure limit valve. Take the pressure limit valve out and rinse it with water, then put it back to its base.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. Please use the automatic electrical pressure cooker following this instruction booklet. Do not use in a flammable or damp environment.

2. The height of food and water must be in accordance with rule 2.

3. Do not damage the seal ring, use other rubber ring or use another drag ring to increase airtightness.

4. Always keep the anti-block up cover clean. Keep the pressure limit valve and pressure valve clear.

5. Do not open the lid until the float is down.

6. Do not cover the pressure limit valve or replace it with other thing.

7. Do not use the cloth to cover the rim of the lid and the outer pot.

8. Keep the bottom of the inner pot and the heating plate clean. Do not heat up the inner pot on a gas stove or replace it with another pot; the inner pot is not designed to be used this way.

9. Use wooden or plastic scoop in case so as not to damage the non-stick coating of the inner pot.

10. Since the escaping steam is very hot, keep your face and hands away from the air escape. Do not touch the lid when cooking.
