Frequently Asked Questions - MY-5039P MIDEA

Why is it difficult to close the lid?

Check that the sealing ring is properly installed and that the float valve is not in the popped-up position. Press the float valve down lightly if needed.

Why is steam leaking from the side of the lid?

Possible causes: sealing ring missing or damaged, food debris on the ring, or the lid not closed properly. Clean or replace the sealing ring, then close the lid again.

What does the 'E1' error code mean?

E1 indicates an open circuit of the bottom sensor. Please return the appliance to a service center for repair.

How do I use the preset timer function?

Select a cooking function (except Reheat, Hot Pot, Fast Cook, Porridge, Soup, Stew), press Timer to set the desired countdown time, then press Start. The cooker will finish cooking when the timer reaches zero.

Why is the float valve not rising?

Ensure there is enough food and water in the inner pot (follow fill lines). Also, close the lid completely so the locking pin does not obstruct the valve.

Can I open the lid immediately after cooking?

No, you must release the pressure first. Use Quick Release (press steam release button) or Nature Release (let it cool naturally). Only open the lid after the float valve has dropped.

How do I clean the sealing ring?

Remove the sealing ring from the lid and wash it in warm soapy water or a dishwasher. Ensure it is dry before reinstalling. Replace if cracked or damaged.

Why is my rice undercooked or hard?

Add more water next time. Also, after the cooking cycle completes, leave the lid on for 5 extra minutes to allow the rice to steam fully.

What functions can use the texture selection?

Texture selection is available for functions like Rice, Ribs, Fish, Congee, Multigrain, Baby Food, Meat/Chicken, Beef/Mutton, Bean/Tendons, Steam, and Broth.

Is the inner pot dishwasher safe?

Yes, the inner pot, sealing ring, exhaust valve, and accessories can be cleaned in a dishwasher. However, do not place the lid or the cooker housing in the dishwasher.

    X["Start"] --> Y["Stop Button"]

States of the Cooker

Your electric pressure cooker has 4 states which are shown on the LED display and function indicators.

• OPEN state (the LED display shows "OPEN"): means the cooker lid is in the open state.
• Standby state: the LED display shows “----”.
• Preset state: the LED display shows preset time and the time counts down, and the activated function indicator lights up.
• Program operating state: the LED display shows “[---]” and the activated function indicator lights up.
• Keep-Warm state: the LED display shows “OH” and the time counts up, and the “Warm” function indicator lights up.

Operation Keys

The 6 operation buttons include “Cancel”, “Timer”, “Warm”, “Hot pot”, “Texture”, and “Menu”. Cancel button is used to cancel the setting function or cancel the current working state. Timer button is used to pre-set time, Warm button is for keeping the food warm, Hot pot button is for cooking with the lid in open state, Texture button is for setting the food texture and Menu button is for general functions setting.

Function Keys

The most important key is “Cancel”. When the cooker is being programmed or any program is in effect, press this key will cancel the program and take the cooker to standby state. When the cooker is in standby state, pressing this key activates the keep-warm program.

Quick function button

There are 5 quick function buttons, they are: "Fast cook", "Porridge", "Start", "Soup" and "Stew" keys.

Before the First Use

Before the first use, please take out all accessories from the package and read this manual carefully. Please pay particular attention to operational instructions and cautions to avoid any injury or property damage. Please wash the inside of the lid and the inner pot with warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe the outer housing with a clean damp cloth. Never immerse the cooker housing in water or any other liquid. The inner pot, sealing ring and exhaust valve and all accessories are dishwasher safe. But never clean the lid and housing in a dishwasher.

Remove and Install the Anti-Block Shield

The anti-block shield can be removed by pushing it on the side to lift it up. To install the anti-block shield, position it in place and press it down.

Please note the following:

• Prior to each use, inspect to make sure the sealing ring is well seated in the sealing ring rack and the anti-block shield is mounted properly on the steam release pipe.
  • After use, remove any foreign objects from the sealing ring and anti-block shield.
• Keep the sealing ring clean to avoid odor. Washing the sealing ring in warm soapy water or dishwater can remove odor. However, it is normal for the sealing ring to absorb the smell of certain acidic foods. That is why it is always a good idea to have more than one sealing ring on hand.
• Never pull the sealing ring by force, as the pulling may cause deformation and affect its function in sealing the pressure.
• A sealing ring with cracks, cuts or other damages should not be used. A new sealing ring replacement should be used.

Safe Lid Opening

1. Make sure the pressure cooking program has completed or press "Cancel" key to terminate the program.
2. Releasing pressure in one of the following approaches.

Quick Release:

- Press the “Steam Release 🎨” key on the lid handle to let out steam until the float valve drops down.

Caution:

• Please keep hands and face away from the hole on the top of the exhaust valve when using Quick Release. The escaping steam is very hot and can cause scalding.
• Never pull out the exhaust valve when it is letting out steam.
• Please be aware that Quick Release is not suitable for food in large liquid volume or with high starch content (e.g. porridge, congee, sticky liquids, soup, etc.). Food content may splatter out with steam. Use Nature Release instead.

Nature Release:

• Allow the cooker to cool down naturally until the float valve drops down. This may take 10 to 15 minutes after cooking is finished and the cooker is in Keep-Warm mode.

• Putting a wet towel on the lid can speed up cooling.

• Open the lid: Hold the lid handle, turn the lid counterclockwise to the open position, and lift the lid up to open.

• Caution: Do not open the lid until pressure inside the pot is completely released. As a safety feature, until the float valve drops down, the lid is locked and cannot be opened.

• If the float valve is stuck due to food debris or stickiness, you can push it down with a pen or chopsticks when you are certain the pressure has been released by pressing the “Steam Release 🤗” key on the lid handle.

Cooking Preparation

1. Open the lid

Holding the lid handle with your hand, rotate counter-clockwise approximately 30 degrees until the end.

2. Check whether all parts on the lid are assembled properly

Check the float valve and exhaust valve for obstructions. Make sure that the sealing ring is well seated inside its holding rack, the anti-block shield is installed properly and the float valve can move up and down easily.

3. Take out inner pot, and put in food and liquid

The total amount of food and water should NEVER exceed the maximum level marking of the inner pot. It is recommended that you do not fill the unit over 2/3 full. When cooking foods that expand during cooking such as rice, beans or dried vegetables, do not fill the unit over 1/2 full. Over filling may risk clogging the

vent pipes and developing excess pressure. This could also cause spillage and may damage to the unit.

4. Place the inner pot inside the cooker housing

Before that, be sure to remove foreign objects and wipe dry the outside of the inner pot and the heating element inside of the cooker.

After putting the inner pot inside the housing, rotate the inner pot slightly to ensure good contact between the inner pot and the heating element.

5. Close the lid completely

Hold the lid handle and put the lid on the cooker, with the mark on the lid and mark on the housing rim are aligned.

Rotate the lid clockwise approximately 30 degrees until the end.
