6. Do not open multi-cooker until all internal pressure has been released. Do not force
lid open. Any pressure in the multi-cooker can be hazardous. To release pressure,
move the steam valve to the open position with the help of an utensil (see figure).
This will allow the steam to escape until the pressure safety valve falls so you can
safely open the lid to get the food.
IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE TO USE AN UTENSIL TO OPEN THE STEAM VALVE TO
RELEASE THE STEAM KEEPING YOUR HANDS AND FACE AWAY
FROM IT. ALSO, WHILE COOKING, NEVER PLACE HAND/FACE
DIRECTLY ON THE TOP OF THE STEAM VALVE. HOT STEAM UNDER
PRESSURE WILL ESCAPE FROM THE TOP OF THE VALVE.
FOR BROWNING
The multi-cooker has a browning function, which allows you to sauté/brown the food
before using the pressure-cooking function. This function was designed to cook without
pressure and therefore the unit should not be covered with the lid.
1. Remove lid and place food inside unit.
2. Connect power cord to an electrical outlet and select the browning function.
The multi-cooker will heat up the inner pot and cook/sauté the food inside.
3. This function should be controlled manually. When browning is done, unit should be
stopped by using the Start/Stop Button.
IMPORTANT: For safety, unit will shut off after 60 minutes.
NOTE: Do not use a metal spoon to stir the food inside the inner pot since that might
damage the non-stick coating, which could affect the unit performance in the long
term.
