5. Place the Steam Valve in its place on top of the Lid. The rib of the Steam Valve and its
base on the Lid should be aligned for unit to pressurize properly.
NOTE: If the Steam Valve is not closed correctly, unit will not function.
6. Operation of the Control Panel:
a) Plug the power cord into the unit then connect the unit to an electric outlet, you
will hear a beep sound and all indicator lights of the intelligent programs will start
blinking and the LED Display will light up showing 0:00. If no action is taken for a few
minutes, the lights and LED Display will turn off until any button is pressed.
b) To get started, press the "Function" button to select the desired intelligent cooking
program. Once a function is selected, the indicator light of that program will light up
and the LED Display will show the time it will take to cook once unit starts cooking
under pressure. For each function, the pressure-cooking time will only initiate after
the pre-heating time of approximately 14 minutes. Please note that this time will vary
depending on the size, quantity, weight and temperature of the food to be cooked.
Please refer to the table below for cooking times by type of food. Heat up time during
the pre-heating stage might also be shorter if unit is used back to back several times
without letting it cool down between operations.
c) Once you have selected the function, you should select the cooking level, which
includes five levels from min to max by pressing the Cooking Level Button. When
selecting the cooking level, the LED Display will show the pressure-cooking time
for each level. Please follow the table below in order to select the desired/required
cooking level:

Browning
Fish/Vegetables
Rice
Poultry
Soup/Stew
Beef
d) If you wish to use the delay timer function, press the Delay Timer Button to adjust to
your desired delayed start time. Please note that the delay timer can only be set for
up to 2 hours and in intervals of 30 minutes. The LED Display will show the sum of
the selected delay time and the pressure-cooking time. For example, if the selected
function is Chicken at the minimum cooking level (pressure cooking time of 12
minutes), and the delay time chosen is 1:00 hour, the LED Display will show 1:12.
