• Always ensure the allowed time to cool before assembling, disassembling, relocating, or cleaning.
• Do not leave the product unattended while it is in use.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs when handling product. Use protective oven mitts or gloves when removing the Lid or handling hot containers to avoid burns or personal injury.
• Take proper precautions to prevent burns, fire, or personal or property damage as this appliance generates heat and steam during use.
• Only use attachments and accessories recommended and sold by the Manufacturer.
• Use extreme caution when moving an appliance containing hot food.
• Only use appliance on a flat surface. Keep the product away from curtains, wall coverings, clothing, dishtowels, or other flammable materials.
• This product is intended solely for non-commercial, non-industrial, household use in preparing food for human consumption; do not use the product outdoors or for any other purpose.
• Do not operate the product empty.
• This product has no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to examine or repair this product yourself. Please review the Warranty Policy on Page 6.
• Do not place pressure cooker in a heated oven.

• Do not use pressure cooker for other than intended use.

• Before operating, make sure that the unit is properly closed since this appliance cooks under pressure, and improper use may result in scalding injury.

• Exercise extreme caution when moving an appliance containing food or liquids.
• When filling the unit with food, do not fill it over 2/3 full. For foods that expand during cooking, such as rice or dried fruits or vegetables, do not fill the unit over 1/2 full.
• Do not cook foods such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or other cereals, split peas, pasta, or rhubarb since these foods tend to foam, froth, and sputter, and may block the pressure release device.
• Always check the pressure release device for clogging before use.
• Do not open the pressure cooker until the unit has cooled and internal pressure has been reduced.
• Do not use this pressure cooker for pressure frying with oil.
• When normal operating pressure is reached, reduce heat so all the liquid which created steam does not evaporate.
• While in use, do not put anything heavy on the regulator. Do not substitute this regulator with any other part.
• Do not keep saltwater, soy sauce, vinegar, and other fluids in the pot for long periods to avoid corrosion.
• While cooking leavened food like steamed bread, do not use the regulator. Otherwise, the food will not be plumped to desired state.
• During the cooking process, you will occasionally hear a sound similar to a “pa” inside the unit when the pressure within the pot increases. This happens as the seals expand with heat and is quite normal.
• When washing after use, remove the gasket for cleaning. Replace the gasket in the lid and store lid upside down on the pot to prolong gasket life.

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND SAVE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!

Before First Use

IMPORTANT: Please check all packaging material carefully before discarding as there may be accessory parts contained within the packaging material.

• Before using the pressure cooker for the first time, clean it with a damp cloth and non-abrasive soap. Dry all parts thoroughly.
• Lightly coat the rim of the pot with cooking oil to make it easier to close and open the lid.
• Check that the air exhaust tube is clear, the anti-jam cover is clean, and the self-lock valve moves freely.

Features of Your Pressure Cooker:

1. For your safety, the inner pressure will not reach proper cooking pressure if the upper and lower handles are not aligned, no matter how long the pressure cooker is heated.

2. When the inner pressure exceeds .7 psi the pressure cooker will lock to ensure safety.

3. If the regulator jams and the internal pressure exceeds a certain point, the safety valve will eject steam toward the outside.

4. If the inner lid anti-jam protection pad jams or is unworkable, the alarm valve will make alarm sounds automatically.

Using Your Pressure Cooker:

1. Do not fill the unit more than 2/3 full. When cooking foods that expand during cooking such as rice, dried fruits, or vegetables, do not fill the unit more than 1/2 full.

Recommendation: Before use, lightly coat the rim of the pot with cooking oil for easy lid movement.

Attention: Ensure that the air exhaust tube is clear, the anti-jam cover is clean, and the self-lock valve works freely.

1. Do not cook foods such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or other cereals, split peas, pasta, or rhubarb. These foods tend to foam, froth and sputter which may block the pressure release device.

2. Combine all ingredients in pot and close the pressure cooker by turning the upper handle clockwise until both handles are exactly aligned.

3. After the lid is in place, it is recommended to put the regulator on the exhaust, now the pot is ready to be heated.

4. Once the pressure limit valve starts exhausting, turn down the heat so the regulator exhausts steam evenly, until cooking is finished.

5. When cooking is complete, remove the cooker from the heat. WARNING: DO NOT remove the lid until the internal pressure has been reduced by the cooling process.

6. You can allow your pressure cooker to cool naturally away from the heat, or if you want to open the cooker immediately, lift the regulator very slowly and carefully to control vapor and food emission.

Hint: You may also run cold water over the lid to speed up the cooling process. Be sure not to block the valve.

1. When the self-lock valve is back in its original position, turn the upper handle counterclockwise to remove lid.

Cleaning Your Pressure Cooker:

WARNING: Always allow your pressure cooker to cool before cleaning or storing it.

- Wash with warm water and mild detergent.

- Wash and clean the anti-jam cover regularly to avoid food blockage.

- Dry thoroughly before storing away.

Note: Your aluminum Pressure Cooker will turn dark on the inside. This is common. What you are seeing is aluminum oxide forming. This provides a protective layer that helps reduce the corrosion of the aluminum. If you wish to remove the black oxide forming, use cream of tartar and a scrubby to clean it off.
