can result in injury to person(s) and/or damage to the unit.
20. Be aware that certain foods, such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or
other cereals, split peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, or spaghetti can foam, froth, and
sputter, and clog the pressure release device (steam vent). These foods should not be
cooked in a pressure cooker.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Polarized Plug: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce risk of electric shock, plug is intended to t into polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not t fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied
electrician. Do not try to modify the plug in any way.
Short Cord Instructions: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if
care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of
the cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord
should be arranged so that it will not drape over the tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over unintentionally.

HINTS AND TIPS ABOUT YOUR DIGITAL COOKER
• To ensure the best cooking performance when pressure cooking, always make sure the
recipe calls for at least 1 cup of water or other liquid so enough steam can be generated to
create pressure.
• After a period of time the rubber gasket may shrink, harden, or otherwise become
distorted under normal use. When this happens or other damage occurs, do not use the
appliance. The rubber gasket should be replaced. Contact the Customer Satisfaction
Department (800-288-4545).
• When using the HIGH or LOW pressure settings, the timer will not start counting ‘down’
until sufcient steam pressure is generated.
• When pressure cooking, if you are not sure how much cooking time is necessary, it is
better to ‘under’ cook. Then use the “quick release” method, remove Lid and check for
doneness.
• Never ll the removable cooking pot more than half full with food or 4/5 full with liquid.
• Make sure this appliance is plugged into a separate 120 volt electrical outlet. A circuit
overload may occur if used with another appliance at the same time.
• Tougher, less expensive cuts of meats are better suited for your digital pressure cooker
because the steam pressure helps break down the tough bers in the meat making them
more tender and avorful.
• Fresh fruit should be cooked under low pressure.
• When pressure cooking beans, add a teaspoon of oil to the water to reduce the amount of
foaming.
• Any liquid such as oils, oil-based marinades and dressings should not be used pressure
cooking.
• Liquids that contain water can be used when pressure cooking. These include wine,
beer, stocks, tomato and other vegetable and fruit juices. Wine must be mixed with an
equivalent amount of water because it evaporates quickly during cooking.
• Frozen foods can be cooked if meat is one-inch or less in thickness, do not alter the
cooking times, appliance will begin the timer after set internal temperature is reached.
• During the pressure building process, you may notice steam escaping from the pressure
regulating valve. Carefully adjust the valve by moving it gently or turning it side to side
gently using tongs or similar utensil until it seals properly.
• If steam is escaping around the lid, it means that the rubber gasket may not be sealed.
Cancel the cooking process, release pressure manually or naturally, remove the lid and
check the rubber gasket for damage or incorrectly installed. Re-install after examination
and start cooking process.
• NOTE: The boiling point of water decreases as the altitude increases, and this changes
your appliance performance. When pressure cooking at higher altitudes, the following
will apply: Add 5% to the cooking time for every 1,000 feet above the rst 2,000 feet.
Example: At 3,000 feet add 5%; 4,000 feet add 10%; 5,000 feet add 15%; etc..
