Operating Instructions

Parts of the Pressure Cooker

Sealing Gasket

The sealing gasket fits inside the cover of the pressure cooker to form a very tight seal between the cover and pressure cooker when the cover is locked. The sealing gasket can be easily removed for cleaning. Over time, the sealing gasket may shrink, harden, crack or become distorted with use. If this occurs, the sealing gasket should be replaced.

Warning: Do not wash the sealing gasket in the dishwasher, hand wash only.

Note: If there are any concerns regarding the sealing gasket call customer service.

Stainless Steel Meat Trivet

The meat trivet sits on the bottom of the removable cooking pot to support roasts and other meats and prevents the meat from sticking to the bottom of the pot. It can also be used to support a metal steamer basket for vegetables.

Preset Programmed Cooking Buttons

The preset buttons are programmed to take the guess work out of cooking with your pressure cooker.

Removable Cooking Pot

The removable cooking pot is coated with a non-stick surface for easier clean-up.

Parts of the Control Panel

Cooking with your new Electronic Pressure Cooker is simple and easy to use. The intelligent electronic controls take the guesswork out of heat adjustment and cooking times. Simply add your food to the cooking pot, close the cover and push one of the preset buttons and let the pressure cooker do the rest.
