Pressure Cooker - How To Use The Pressure Cooker?

1.      When the appliance is switched on, the Control Panel lights up and displays 00:00. The appliance is now in Standby mode.

2.      Select the function key you want, e.g. pressing the ‘Rice’ button will display P.12. The pressure cooker will cook for 12 minutes, which is the default setting for Rice. The display will also show the pressure setting (High / Mid / Low) above the ‘Time Choice’ button, which cannot be adjusted.

3.      However, you may wish to adjust the duration of cooking. For example, you may wish to cook the rice for 15 minutes. In this case, press the ‘Time Choice’ button 3 times. Each press increases the cooking time from its default setting by one minute. The display will now show ‘12’. However, you may wish to shorten the cooking time to 9 minutes. In this case, press the ‘Time Choice’ button repeatedly until the display shows ‘9’ (the display increases to the maximum for that particular food group and then continues from 0).

4.      Alternatively, you may just settle for a short, medium or long cooking time. Pressing the ‘Taste’ button runs through from ‘Short’, then ‘Normal’ (the default setting), and then ‘Long’.

5.      If you press the ‘Keep Warm / Cancel’ button, then the previous operation is cancelled, and the pressure cooker will enter the ‘Keep Warm’ mode. The display shows ‘66’. Pressing it again will return it to Standby mode. Thus, if you wish to cancel any operation, simply press the ‘Keep Warm / Cancel’ button twice, and you are free to input your new selection.

6.      Once you input your selection, e.g. pressing: (a)  ‘Rice’, or (b)  ‘Rice’, ‘Time Choice’ (press until the time you desire is displayed), or (c)   ‘Rice’, ‘Taste’ (press through ‘short’, ‘medium’ & ‘long’), the pressure cooker will start heating. (Note: there is no ‘Enter’ button. There is no need for one!)

7.      Please note that the temperature of the food needs to reach the default temperature before the timer countdowns. This may take several minutes, depending on the amount of the food, the temperature of the food you put in, and the default temperature itself. Frozen food will naturally take a while longer.
