BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST

•Do not exceed maximum fill level. Some foods expand during pressure cooking such as rice, pulses and grains. For these types of foods, do not fill removable cooking bowl over level 8 mark. Over filling may cause a risk of clogging pressure release valve and pressure indicator valve and develop excess pressure.

•Do not use a damaged removable cooking bowl. Replace before using.

•Ensure that lid is properly closed before operating. (see step 4 page 21).

•Do not use the appliance for other than it’s intended use. Do not attempt to operate the appliance by any method other than those described in this book.

•Some foods to avoid when pressure cooking are; apple sauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal and other cereals, noodles and pasta, and rhubarb; these foods can foam, froth and splatter and clog the pressure release valve and pressure indicator valve.

•Removable cooking bowl can be extremely heavy when full of ingredients, care should be taken when lifting from the appliance base.

•Always check pressure release valve and pressure indicator valve for clogging before use and clean if necessary. Check to make sure the pressure indicator rod moves freely from under the lid.

•Extreme caution must be used when appliance contains hot food and liquids and/or is under pressure. Improper use may result in injury. When using this appliance for any function except sauté, make sure the lid is properly locked before operating.

•Do not use the lid handle to carry appliance when in use or after use.

•Do not attempt to open the appliance lid after pressure cooking until all internal pressure has been released and is slightly cooled. If the lid will not turn to unlock, this indicates that appliance is still under pressure – do not force lid open. Any pressure remaining can be hazardous. See operating instructions for “steam release” directions in this instruction book (see step 10–12 page 22).

•Always ensure that removable cooking bowl has cooled sufficiently before handling and use oven mitts as a precaution.

•The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or separate remote control system.

•Do not place anything, other than lid, on top of the appliance when assembled, when in use and when stored.

•Do not adjust the “Pressure Regulator /Release valve” whilst in use.

•Use only recommended “Steam Release” to depressurize cooker after use (see step 10–12 page 22).

•Do not use this appliance cooker for deep frying.

•Do not sauté or shallow fry under pressure.

•Always ensure there is enough liquid in removable cooking bowl. At least 4 cups (1 quart) of combined food and liquid is required when cooking under pressure. When steaming, a minimum of 4 cups (1 quart) of liquid should be used.

BPR600XL Issue - A12 specifications

The Breville BPR600XL, also known as the Fast Slow Cooker, is a versatile kitchen appliance designed to streamline the cooking process with its multifaceted capabilities. One of the issues reported by users is the A12 error code, which can indicate a problem with the pressure system of the unit. Understanding this issue, along with the appliance's key features, technologies, and characteristics, is essential for effective utilization.

The Breville BPR600XL boasts a multi-functional design that combines pressure cooking and slow cooking in a single unit. This dual capacity allows users to prepare meals more quickly or opt for traditional slow-cooking methods, catering to varied culinary preferences. The pressure-cooking feature can reduce cooking times by up to 70%, making it ideal for busy individuals.

One of the standout technologies in the Breville BPR600XL is its "hands-free" pressure release valve system. This auto-release feature allows steam to escape safely without the need for user intervention. However, users experiencing the A12 issue may find that this functionality is impaired, often requiring troubleshooting to ensure the pressure valve is clear of obstructions.

The unit comes equipped with a user-friendly LCD screen that displays cooking times and temperatures, making it easy to manage cooking processes. Additionally, it features pre-set functions for various cooking methods, including sauté, steam, simmer, and reduce, allowing for optimal cooking conditions for different types of dishes.

Safety is a significant consideration in the design of the Breville BPR600XL. It includes a safety lock lid that prevents the lid from being opened while under pressure. However, persistent A12 error alerts can raise concerns about the appliance's ability to maintain safe pressure levels. In such cases, consulting the user manual for troubleshooting tips or contacting customer support may be necessary.

The BPR600XL's stainless-steel construction provides durability while also ensuring easy cleaning, thanks to its non-stick inner pot. With a generous capacity of 6 quarts, this appliance can prepare meals for the whole family and is a favorite among those who appreciate the art of cooking without the lengthy time commitment.

In summary, the Breville BPR600XL Fast Slow Cooker is praised for its versatility and innovative technologies. While the A12 error can be an inconvenience, understanding the appliance's features and functionalities can help users effectively navigate any challenges that arise, ensuring a seamless cooking experience.
