standby mode.
9. Once pressure builds entirely, the unit beeps, the cooking icon appears at
the bottom of the screen, and it starts to count down. Then, your cooking
time begins. The floating valve located in the lid rises, indicating that there is
pressure inside the unit.
WARNING: NEVER TRY TO FORCE THE LID OPEN WHILE YOU ARE
COOKING UNDER PRESSURE, THIS CAN RESULT IN A SERIOUS
ACCIDENT.
WARNING: NEVER DEEP FRY OR PRESSURE FRY IN THE MULTI-COOKER.
IT IS DANGEROUS AND MAY CAUSE A FIRE AND SERIOUS DAMAGE.
10. When the cooking time ends, the unit beeps and switches to the KEEP WARM
function. The unit beeps periodically to let you know that there is pressure
inside the unit. Once you release the pressure, the unit stops beeping and
remains on the KEEP WARM function. Press the START/STOP button to cancel
the program.
11. After the cooking time is up, release the pressure. You have two options for
releasing the pressure:
a. Quick Release Method: Release the pressure immediately by turning the
pressure regulator knob to STEAM.
CAUTION: THE STEAM COMING OUT OF THE COOKER IS HOT, AND MIGHT
CONTAIN DROPLETS OF HOT LIQUID. BE SURE TO USE POT HOLDERS,
OVEN MITTS OR A KITCHEN TOWEL WHEN RELEASING PRESSURE.
b. Natural Release Method: Release the pressure by shutting the unit off
completely. This allows the pressure to drop naturally without turning the
pressure regulator knob to STEAM. Natural Release Method takes several
minutes, during which the food inside continues cooking. Some recipes (such
as risotto) benefit from this extra cooking time. You know when the pressure
has been released because the floating valve drops and can open the lid.
12. Once all the pressure is released, remove the lid by turning it clockwise, lifting it
and tilting it away from yourself to avoid getting burnt by any remaining steam
or hot water condensation dripping from the inner portion of the lid.
WARNING: AFTER COOKING, THE REMOVABLE COOKING POT IS HOT:
USE POT HOLDERS, OVEN MITTS, OR A KITCHEN TOWEL TO HANDLE IT
OR LET IT COOL DOWN BEFORE REMOVING.
