IMPORTANT: Do not cook with food content below the minimum marking on the cooking pot.
2. Following detailed instructions previously described for PRESSURE COOK, assemble lid, close and
lock lid.
3. Turn the pressure release valve to the RELEASE position.

Maximum SLOW COOK time is 12:00 (12 hours).
7. When temperature is reached, the time will begin to count down until "00:00" (00 minutes) is shown.
8. When cook time reaches "00:00" 5 audible beeps can be heard; "bb" will be displayed to indicate
the unit has advanced to a 4 hour WARM cycle after which the unit will then turn itself OFF.
IMPORTANT: When using SLOW COOK function, you may remove the lid to check on food,
stir contents, add food or liquids during cooking. The unit will begin to beep, and "E0" will be
displayed until the lid is replaced and locked.

• RICE FUNCTION

WARNING: Do not use your Digital Pressure Cooker to cook instant rice.
A 180 ml. (3/4 cup) rice measuring cup is included with your Digital Pressure Cooker. Up to 7 rice
measuring cups (6-3/4 cups) of uncooked white rice may be pressure cooked in the 8 Qt. Digital Pressure
Cooker. Many varieties of rice can be used including: basmati, wild rice, black rice, Arborio, risotto, brown,
long and short grains. For estimated times and rice to water/cooking liquid quantities, please refer to the
RICE COOKING CHART that follows.
1. Using the rice measuring cup, add leveled cups of raw rice to the cooking pot. Rice may be rinsed or
not, depending on your preference.
2. When pressure cooking white, long grain rice, use the ratio: 2 cups raw rice to 3 cups water, or use
1-1/2 times more water than raw rice. For example, for 9 rice measuring cups of raw rice, add 13-1/2
rice measuring cups of water. Water volume may be adjusted to taste on subsequent rice cooking.
IMPORTANT: Add one tablespoon of oil (vegetable, olive, sesame) to reduce excess foaming.
IMPORTANT: When pressure cooking wild rice, add 25% to 50% more water to cook thoroughly.
Follow package instructions.
3. Following detailed instructions previously described for PRESSURE COOK, assemble lid,
close and lock lid.
4. Plug the cord into a 120V AC electrical wall outlet. A series of 4 dashes (- - - - ) will be displayed.
5. Press the RICE button once; RICE light will illuminate. The default time of 00:20 (20 minutes)
will be displayed.
NOTE: If a recipe calls for a time that is not the default cook time, cooking times may be easily modified.
6. While flashing, the default time can be changed by pressing the "+" and "-" buttons to manually
change the time from 5 minutes (00:05) to 99 minutes (01:39).

• STEAM FUNCTION

Preparing Vegetables for Steam
• Peel vegetables when appropriate, or scrub them well. Keep in mind that hard vegetables such as
potatoes and beets hold their shape better when the peel is left intact.
• Vegetables may be cooked whole or chopped into pieces. The larger the piece, the longer it will take
to cook.
• Vegetables with the same cooking time may be cooked together.
• Since quick-cooking vegetables like zucchini, asparagus and broccoli may easily be overcooked, it is
best to steam rather than pressure-cook.
Basic Vegetable Steaming
1. Place the removable cooking pot into the base. Arrange food in a non-metal, heat-resistant plastic
or bamboo steaming rack or basket (NOT INCLUDED) and use basket handles to lower food into
the removable cooking pot.
NOTE: You may add more food on top of and around basket, but do not exceed the 2/3 MAX line on
the cooking pot.
2. Pour 1-1/2 cups water or steaming liquid into the removable cooking pot.
3. Following detailed instructions previously described for PRESSURE COOK, assemble lid, close and
lock lid.
4. Turn the pressure release valve to the PRESSURE position. (See Figure 13.)
IMPORTANT: If the pressure release valve is not closed (in the PRESSURE position), the Digital
Pressure Cooker will not build pressure.
5. Plug the cord into a 120V AC electrical wall outlet. A series of 4 dashes (- - - - ) will be displayed.
6. Press the desired RICE/RISOTTO/STEAM button twice until the corresponding light indicates the
STEAM setting. The default time of 00:25 (25 minutes) will be displayed.
NOTE: If a recipe calls for a time that is not the default cook time, cooking times may be easily modified.
7. While flashing, the default time can be changed by pressing the "+" and "-" buttons to manually
change the time from 5 minutes (00:05) to 99 minutes (01:39).
