INTRODUCTION
Your pressure cooker cooks many different food types, quickly and easily.
Food is placed in an inner cooking bowl with a quantity of water or other liquid.
The cooking bowl is then placed into a pressure vessel and sealed with a lid.
What can I cook?
Your cooker can pressure-cook rice, meat, poultry, vegetables, beans, currys,
soups, and many other food items.
You can also steam, sauté and slow cook by using different settings.
Cooking times and pressure settings
The cooker includes preset programs that set temperature and pressure for
pressure-cooking popular food types. Manual setting enables you to set your
choice of cook time and pressure setting.
Delay timer
The delay timer can be set to delay the start of cooking by a preset time.
Keep warm function
The keep warm function enables you to keep food warm in the cooker once the
cooking phase is completed.

Steam valve
Cautions in use
Float valve
The red float valve rises when the cooker is under pressure.
Never attempt to remove the lid when the float valve
indicates that the cooker is under pressure.
Placement cautions
Ensure that the appliance is located out of the reach of children when operational.
Never place the appliance under a cupboard or overhanging surface. Exposure to
steam during the cooking process may damage the surface.
Condensation collector
The condensation collector is a small, narrow cup that slides onto the side at the
back of the cooker as shown.
It will collect any fluid that condenses around the rim of the cooker during the
cooking operation.
The condensation collector should always be fitted during cooking. When cooking
is complete, the condensation collector should be emptied and cleaned.
8
BEFORE YOU START
Food volume
For fresh ingredients such as meat and vegetables, never exceed the MAX mark
on the inside of the bowl.
For rice, dry beans, dried vegetables, pulses and grains, never exceed 50% of the
bowl capacity with total volume of food and liquid as these foods will expand when
cooking and could block the safety valves.
Preparation guidelines
This section includes some guidelines to get you started with pressure cooking of
basic food types. Use these guidelines to begin cooking with your-cooker and
update your recipes as you learn to cook to your preference.
Always check that food is fully cooked before serving it.
Browse the Internet for many more pressure cooking recipes and ideas.
Preparing meat
Meat will generally cook best if it is first browned in a little oil in a pan on the
stove. Whole cuts can be cooked or meat can be cooked or meat can be cubed
pieces, but cooking times should be adjusted accordingly. Add approximately
250ml water or stock in the pan if cooking for less than 45 minutes. For longer
cooking times, add 375ml.

OPERATION
First use
Before using your cooker for the first time you should ensure that it is thoroughly
cleaned.
• Follow the instructions in the Cleaning and Care section to clean the bowl, lid
and other accessories before they are first used.
• Check that the valves in the lid are correctly assembled and that the lid seal is
correctly fitted
Your pressure cooker is now ready to use.
Caution
Water or stock is an essential part of the cooking process and a minimum of
125ml must always be added to the cooking bowl.
• Check that the outside of the cooking bowl is dry and place the bowl into the
cooker.
• Check that the lid is correctly assembled.
• Align the symbol on the lid with the arrow on top of the control panel and
place the lid onto the cooker.
• Twist the lid clockwise until the symbol aligns with the arrow to lock the lid
into place.
• Set the Steam valve to the (pressurise) position.
• Plug the mains cable connector into the power inlet on the cooker, then connect
the cable to a convenient mains outlet. Push the cable connector into the socket
to ensure it is engaged.
The display will flash ‘----’. You can now choose to select a preset to cook your
food or set cooking time manually.
10
OPERATION
Note:
Do not select presets 04, 05 or 06. These presets are reserved for other types of
cooking.
10 seconds after your last setting, the cooker will beep 3 times and the display
will stop flashing. Cooking will begin.
Caution
When pressure-cooking has finished the cooker will still be pressurised. Do not
open the lid until the pressure in the cooker has decreased sufficiently.
12
OPERATION
Steaming food - the cooking process
10 seconds after settings have been completed, the cooking process will start
automatically. The cooker will heat the cooking bowl until it pressurises. During
this time some steam will escape from the red float valve. This is normal.
As soon as the required pressure is reached, the (time) indicator will be
displayed and the display will switch to show cooking time of 10 minutes. The
time will count down. During cooking some steam may escape occasionally from
the steam valve. This is normal.
During cooking steam will escape from the steam valve opening. This is normal.
You can leave the steaming process to run for a full 10 minutes or, for a shorter
steaming time you can end the process earlier by pressing .
At the end of the cooking time the cooker will beep and ‘0H’ will be displayed. The
‘Keep Warm’ indicator will light. The prepared food will be held at a safe serving
temperature of 60°C for up to 2 hours.
• Refer now to the section ‘All cooking modes -opening the lid and serving food’ on
page 18.
Caution
When steaming has finished the cooker will still be pressurised.
14
OPERATION
• Pull the Steam valve upwards to remove it from
the lid.
This is necessary to stop the cooker from
pressurising.
• Plug the mains cable connector into the power inlet on the cooker, then connect
the cable to a convenient mains outlet. Push the cable connector into the socket
to ensure it is engaged.
The display will flash ‘----’.
AFTER USE
• Disconnect the appliance from mains power and allow it to cool completely.
• Remove the condensation collector and empty any water that has collected in it.
• Follow the instructions in the Cleaning and Care section to clean the bowl, lid
and other accessories.
• Loosely coil the cable and store the cooker and cable safely out of reach of

CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION: The pressure cooker components are not dishwasher- safe. Always
hand-wash them.
CAUTION: Never clean any component of the cooker with scourers, abrasive
pads or chemicals.
• Unplug the appliance and allow it to cool.
17
CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning the bowl
• Remove the cooking bowl and fill it with hot water. Allow it to soak for a while. If
any food is stuck to the base of the cooking bowl it must be removed. Never use
sharp metal tools or abrasives to clean the bowl as they will damage the
non-stick surface. Soak, then use a nylon sponge or spatula to remove any
remaining deposits.
After cleaning
• Dry all components completely and reassemble the cooking bowl into the
cooker. The accessories can be stored in the bowl.
• Re-assemble the lid valves in the reverse order of removal.
• Fit the rubber seal into the edge of the lid.
CAUTION: When fitting the rubber seal, feed it into the space behind the metal
retaining bar as shown by the arrow.
• Fit the lid before storage, but do not clamp it completely. This will save wear
on the rubber seal.
