Program button, High Pressure, Normal time and Keep Warm. Press the program button to cycle through Less (3m), Normal
(12m), or More (30m) cooking time. Pressure Level button can be pushed to cycle between High and Low pressure. Pushing the
"+" or "-" buttons will increase or decrease the cooking time in 1 minute increments.
If desired, press the "Delay/Start" button to set a delayed start time. The cook program or delay time countdown will begin after 6

Use the "Less" setting for rolled or steel cut oatmeal, "Normal" for porridge, and "More" for congee or porridge mixed with other
grains. It is important to never fill the Inner Pot more than halfway when cooking oatmeal, grains, or any food that expands in size
to prevent overflowing and always use the natural release option for the Multigrain program so foam doesn't get into the valve.
The Oatmeal Program is used for making grains, cereal, or legumes boiled in water, broth, or milk. Porridge and congee are a
couple types of foods you can make using this function.

For making yogurt, begin by putting 4 cups ~ 4 quarts of milk in the Inner Pot to be pasteurized. Place the lid on the unit and lock it,
with the Steam Release set to "Venting". Push the Yogurt button until the "More" indicator lights and the display reads "boil". When
the process is completed, the unit will beep and return to Standby with the display showing "yogt". Remove the lid and check the
temperature of the milk to verify that it is a minimum of 161°F (72°C) for pasteurization. Using the silicone mitts, remove the Inner Pot.
Cool the milk to below 110°F (43°C) and add yogurt starter culture, or already made unflavored yogurt with live cultures. If using a
starter culture, follow the instructions on the package. For adding existing yogurt, add 2 tbsp. of yogurt for every ½ gallon of milk.
NOTE: The yogurt mixture can be left in the inner pot, or portioned into sealable cups. If using cups, place them on the Stainless
Steel Rack in the Inner Pot, and add water until they are about ½ submerged.
Place the Inner Pot back into the Multicooker, and place on the Locking Lid with the Steam Release on "Venting". Push the Yogurt
button and the "Normal" indicator will light with the display reading 8:00, which is the normal fermentation time. If desired, use the
"Less" cook time or the "+" or "-" buttons to adjust the time. The unit will begin the program after no buttons are pushed for 6 seconds.
