IMPORTANT
•It can take from 30 seconds to 20 minutes to bring food to pressure, depending on the food and quantity being cooked. To speed this time up use boiling, not cold liquid.
•Do not fill removable cooking bowl higher than MAX line marking on the inside of the cooking bowl.
•Do not exceed the mark line 8 on the inside of the cooking bowl when pressure cooking foods that expand; for example, dried beans, grains and legumes.
•The minimum amount of combined food and liquid to be added to removable cooking bowl for Pressure Cook recipes cooking in under
10 minutes is 1 quart (4 cups). Anything less might boil dry and the appliance will not function. Additional liquid may need to be added during cooking.
•Never operate appliance when it is empty. Do not cook with less than 1 quart of combined food and liquid.
•Never use oil or milk as a cooking liquid such as deep frying or making custards. Only use hot/ warm liquids particularly after sautéing to avoid any damage to the removable cooking bowl. Adding hot liquids also reduces the time to reach pressure.
