STEAM SETTING:
This program quickly brings liquid to a boil for steaming food or cooking rice.
1. Position the cook pot into the pressure cooker base.
2. Place the rack in the bottom of the removable cooking pot.
3. Add at least 16 oz. of water so that the bottom of the rack is above the liquid.
4. Add the food. Do not fill the pot more than two-thirds full. Note: If steaming rice,
put the rice in a smaller bowl and place on the rack. See "OPERATION" section.
5. Place lid onto the pressure cooker and turn to lock. Set the pressure regulator
knob to STEAM.
6. Press the STEAM button. The light on the button will flash and the digital display
will read "0:15".
7. Set the desired time by pressing the button once for each additional minute or
press and hold for rapid increase. The longest steaming time is 2 hours.
8. Press the START button to begin cooking.
 CAUTION:
• The lid can be opened while cooking to check the food during the STEAM
cooking mode. Use caution and never place face over the pressure cooker when
removing the lid. Tilt lid away when lifting. Steam escapes as soon as the lid is
opened and can cause serious burns.
RICE SETTING:

time is 10 minutes, press button to adjust time.

which means to let it sit for about 15 minutes or until the floating valve releases
and the lid can be opened and removed.

2. Place the food to be slow cooked in the cooking pot.

display will read "4:00" (This equals 4 hours of cooking time).

by continuously holding the button down. The longest cooking time is 12 hours
with a temperature of 180°F.
