OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

STATES OF THE MAGIC CHEF MULTICOOKER
• Standby: The cooker is in standby when it is plugged in and the display will show "- - - -".
• Preheat: Preheating occurs when the cooker is warming up to the correct temperature and pressure. This
happens after you select your cooking time and before the cooker starts the actual cooking time. Lines on
the outside of the display will circle around continuously.
• Operating: Once the preheat time is complete, the Magic Chef Multicooker will begin to cook. The display
will show the appropriate cook time.
LID OPENING
1. Before opening the lid, make sure the multicooker has finished cooking. If the cooking program is still on,
then press the "Cancel" button to stop it.
WARNING: DO NOT open the multicooker until the unit has cooled and all internal pressure has been
released. If the handle is difficult to slide open, this indicates that the cooker is still pressurized. DO NOT
force open. Any pressure in the cooker can be hazardous. (Refer to page 14.)
2. There are two ways to release the pressure from the cooker, the Natural Release and the Quick Release.
• Natural Release: Once cooking is complete, the pressure will release on its own. The natural release
time can be anywhere from 10-25 minutes. All the pressure is released once the float valve has fallen.
You can then open the lid. Placing a wet towel on the lid can help the multicooker cool down faster.
• Quick Release: If you want to release the pressure immediately after it is done cooking, then use
the quick release option. Once the cooker stops cooking, slide the exhaust valve to "Venting" to
release the pressure. All the pressure is released once the float valve has fallen. DO NOT use the
Quick Release function for foods that have a lot of starch or when a lot of liquid is in the cooker. Use
natural release for these foods. Additionally, you can use a combination of Natural Release and Quick
Release. This can be helpful if you need the extra cooking time with the Natural Release, but don't
want to wait the full time for the pressure to be released.
WARNING:
• ALWAYS use oven mitts when releasing pressure or when opening the lid.
After cooking, use extreme caution when opening the lid. ALWAYS open the lid away from you to
•
avoid skin contact with any heat or steam. Serious burns can result from steam inside the unit.
• DO NOT place face or hands by the holes on top of the exhaust valve. The steam can cause scalding.
• DO NOT try to remove the float valve or exhaust valve when steam is escaping.
3. Place your hand on the handle and turn the lid to the unlock position and lift. Place the exhaust position to
"Venting" when opening the lid, regardless of what pressure release option you used.
4. Once the lid is detached, you can hold it above the platform where the condensation collector is. The
excess condensation will fall into the collector and not on your food.
