do the water test to familiarise themselves
on
with Pressure Cooking.

add 750ml of room-temperature water
to the pot.
2 Assemble the pressure lid by aligning
the arrow on the front of the lid with the

Then turn the lid clockwise until it locks
into place.

GRILL
5 The display showing PRE and some steam
release indicate pressure is building. When
fully-pressurised, countdown will begin.
NOTE: Time to pressure varies and may
take up to 15 minutes.
6 When the countdown is finished,
the unit will beep and display DONE
before automatically switching to KEEP
WARM mode, and begin counting up.
GRILL
7 Turn the pressure release valve to the
VENT position to quick release the
pressurised steam. There will be a burst
of steam from the pressure release valve.
When steam is completely released, float
valve will drop and the lid can be opened.
NATURAL PRESSURE RELEASE
VS . QUICK PRESSURE RELEASE
Natural Pressure Release: When pressure
cooking is complete, steam will naturally
release from the unit as it cools down.
This can take upwards of 20 minutes,
depending on the amount of ingredients
in the pot. During this time, the unit will
switch to Keep Warm mode. Press KEEP
WARM if you would like to turn Keep Warm
mode off. When natural pressure release is
complete, the float valve will drop down.
Quick Pressure Release: Use ONLY if your
recipe calls for it. After pressure cooking
and the KEEP WARM light comes on, turn the
pressure release valve to the VENT position
to quickly release the steam. Steam release
will be accompanied by an audible hiss.
Some steam will remain in the unit after
pressure release and will escape when
the lid is opened. Lift and tilt it away from
you, making sure no condensation drips
into the cooker base.
NOTE: At any time during the natural
release process, you can switch to quick
release by turning the pressure release
valve to the VENT position.

PRESSURISING

As pressure builds in the unit, the
control panel will display PRE. Time to
pressure varies based on the amount and
temperature of ingredients as well as liquid
in the pot. For safety, the lid will lock as
the unit pressurizes, and it will not unlock
until pressure is released. Once the unit has
reached full pressure, the cooking cycle will
begin and the timer will start counting down.
NOTE: It can take upwards of 20 minutes
to build pressure.
