Instructions for Use

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

1.Before using the Programmable Pressure Cooker for the first time, wash the Removable Cooking pot, the Self-Locking Lid and the Rubber Gasket with warm soapy water. Rinse with clear water and dry thoroughly.

To ensure correct fitting of the Rubber Gasket, fill the Removable Cooking Pot 2/3 full with water and run on HIGH PRESSURE for 15 minutes. Wait 15 minutes, then release pressure by pressing on the QUICK STEAM RELEASE Button in short bursts. The Pressure Indicator Rod will drop. Let the appliance cool to room temperature. Pour out the water. Rinse and towel dry the Removable Cooking Pot. The Pressure Cooker is now ready to be used.
