Warning! This appliance is intended exclusively for use in domestic

households. It is not suitable for commercial use. Do not attempt to remove the lid when the pressure cooker is

operating or when it is still under pressure (float valve raised). Do not cover or block exhaust valve during operation and allow it

to cool fully before storing. The internal and external surfaces of the pressure cooker will

become hot during use and will have residual heat after cooking. Do not touch and always use oven gloves when handling.

Do not use the pressure cooker near or under surfaces that are heat sensitive or those that may be damaged by steam.

Do not overfill the pressure cooker and do not fill above half way when cooking foods that expand.

Only use with the parts provided and to cook food. This appliance can cause personal injury if misused.

To prevent burns, remove lid slowly and with the underside of cover angled away from you to allow the steam to escape gradually. Do not reach over the pressure cooker.

Food safety Thoroughly defrost frozen meat, poultry, fish and seafood in the

refrigerator before cooking. Keep raw meat and poultry separate from cooked foods.

Always wash hands after handling raw meat and poultry, before handling any ready to eat foods.

Wipe and disinfect surfaces that have been in contact with raw meat and poultry.

Use separate utensils for handling raw meat/poultry and cooked food or wash them thoroughly between uses.

To check whether meat, particularly poultry, is cooked, pierce the flesh with a skewer or fork; the juices should run clear. Ensure the product is piping hot throughout.

Fish is cooked when it appears opaque and can be flaked easily.

Fitting the condensate cup

Removing and fitting the lid To remove the lid - hold the lid by the handle and turn the lid anticlockwise until the alignment mark () on the rim of the pressure cooker housing is aligned with the unlocked padlock symbol on the lid. Lift off the lid.

To fit the lid - Position the lid above the pressure cooker and align the unlocked padlock symbol on the lid with the alignment mark () on the rim of the pressure cooker housing. Turn the lid clockwise until the locked padlock symbol is aligned with the alignment mark ().

Using the pressure cooker 1. Use utensils suitable for non stick pans when using this item. 2. Wash all removable parts before first use and dry thoroughly. 3. Place the pressure cooker housing on a stable, flat, heat resistant

surface and away from surfaces that may be damaged by steam. 4. Fit the condensate cup and remove the lid. 5. Unwind the cable and plug into the pressure cooker housing and

then plug into the mains supply. The red POWER indicator will illuminate. For safety do not allow the cable to dangle over the edge of units.

6. Place the ingredients to be cooked into the bowl. Do not fill past the MAX (10) mark and ensure approximately 2 cm of liquid is in the bowl.

7. Check that the seal is fitted into the lid and close fully ensuring that the locked padlock symbol is aligned with the alignment mark ().

8. Turn the exhaust valve to the pressure position (fig.4 & 5).

9. Select the desired cooking time on the control knob. The COOK indicator will illuminate to show that the cooker is working.

10. When the cooker is up to pressure, the float valve will pop up (fig. 5) and some hissing and a small amount of steam is normal just before the float valve pops up.

11. After the cooking time has finished, a bell will sound and the pressure cooker will turn off automatically and the cook indicator will extinguish.

12. Allow the pressure to normalise and the float valve will drop (fig. 6).

13. If cooking more delicate foodstuffs (e.g. fish, chicken and vegetables), use the quick pressure release method to prevent overcooking. To release the internal pressure more quickly, use an oven glove and turn the exhaust valve slowly to the exhaust position (fig. 7). Do not reach over the pressure cooker. If the steam escape is too fast, close the valve and then try again.

14. When the pressure has normalised, remove lid slowly with the underside angled away from you to allow steam to escape.

15. To stop the cooking process, switch off at the mains and allow any built up pressure to normalise.

General pressure cooking advice Pressure cooking is great for casseroles, stews and for cooking cheaper cuts of meat. Many dried pulses and beans can be added to recipe without the need for overnight soaking. Favorite recipes can be adapted and prepared in a fraction of the time as food cooks in about a third to one half of the time that they would by conventional methods and some typical recipes have been added at the end of this manual to show how to use the pressure cooker. For pressure cooker recipes, techniques and specific cooking times consult a specialist recipe book. Some general advice follows. Never pressure cook anything without approximately 2cm of

liquid in the bottom of the bowl. For a pressure cooker to work, space is needed at the top of the

bowl for the steam to build. Do not fill past the maximum level (10) shown on the bowl.

If cooking foods that expand, do not fill past half way level to allow for expansion.

When following pressure cooker recipes all cooking times should be from the point that the cooker becomes pressurized and the float valve pops up.

The time required to build the pressure will depend on the volume of food and liquid in the cooker.

Adding hot liquid or stock to the pressure cooker will allow the pressure cooker get to pressure more quickly and cooking times can be shortened.

Cooking liquid does not reduce, so it may be necessary to add less liquid to a favorite recipe or to simmer and reduce the liquid using the saut function after pressure cooking.

Thicken sauces and gravies only after cooking. If you prefer vegetables in a recipe to have a little bite,

depressurize 5 10 minutes before the end of the cooking cycle, add the vegetable and then bring the cooker back up to pressure to complete the cycle.

Trim excess fat from meat, as the cooking method does not allow the fat to drain away.

Unless a pressure cooker recipe advises otherwise, if adding fresh milk, cream or yoghurt this should be done after the pressure cooking cycle has been completed.

ISSUE-1 4/9/2017 10

Timings When cooking foods there is a great deal of personal preference on how tender or what texture food should have after cooking. When cooking in a pressure cooker there are two times to be considered. The time taken to bring the cooker up to pressure (float valve rises) and the cooking time.

Pressurisation times The time required to build the pressure will depend on the volume of food and liquid in the cooker but the following can be used as a guide. Volume 1 cup 300ml 500ml 1000ml 2000ml Max

(~3.5l)

Time required for pressure to build

4mins 5mins 6mins 9mins 15mins 25mins

For example: if your recipe requires 500ml of liquid to be added and the recipe requires the item to be pressure cooked for 20 minutes, the timer will need to be set for a total of 26 minutes (6 minutes to build pressure + 20 minutes cooking time).
