4. Turn the lid upside down, grasp the rubber gasket on either side and pull up. Clean the rubber gasket in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Replace the gasket by pushing it down inside the edge of the lid. Make sure the groove in the center of the gasket is positioned around the metal ring on the inside edge of the lid. Note: If the gasket is not positioned properly, the unit will not work. NOTE: The rubber gasket must always be properly positioned on the underside of the lid. Check periodically to make sure that it is clean, flexible, and not cracked or torn. (See pg. 3 “Before First Use”, #3.) 5. If the rubber gasket is damaged, do not use the appliance and contact the Customer Service department at 1-800-336-4822. 6. In order to maintain good performance of your pressure cooker, the bottom of the removable cooking pot, in the area of the sensor pad, must be cleaned after each use. Wipe with a soft damp cloth and be sure to dry thoroughly. 7. Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to clean any of the parts. Cleaning the Pressure Regular Knob Check that the pressure regulator knob and the pressure safety valves are in good working order before each use. 1. After the unit has cooled, remove the lid. 2. Press down and turn the pressure regulator knob counter clockwise past the STEAM setting and carefully remove. 3. Using a brush, check and remove any food or foreign particles that may be lodged in the floating valve. 4. Replace the pressure regulator knob by lining the notches up to the inside wall of the pressure regulator chamber in the lid and turn clockwise.

If not done, continue cooking under pressure. ¦ Never fill the pressure cooker more than half full with food or 2/3 full with liquid. The pressure cooker must have enough liquid to steam or the food will not cook properly. ¦ If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance may not operate. The pressure cooker should be operated on a separate electrical circuit. ¦ Tougher, less expensive cuts of meat are better suited for the pressure cooker because cooking under pressure breaks the fibers down for tender results. ¦ Fresh fruit should be cooked on low pressure. ¦ Add a tablespoon of oil to the water to reduce the amount of foaming that beans produce. Troubleshooting If you have not added sufficient liquid and you notice that the floating valve has not risen, but the timer is counting down, perform the following steps: 1. Stop the pressure cooker by pressing the “Start/Stop” button. 2. Turn the pressure regulator knob to STEAM, using short bursts, until the pressure is fully released. 3. Remove the lid and add approximately 1 cup of water/stock or any liquid. Stir food to disperse liquid. 4. Replace the lid and lock into position. 5. Press the LOW or HIGH PRESSURE button and set the desired time. 6. Press the “Start/Stop” button to begin cooking again. If steam is leaking from under the cover because the cover is not properly closed, the gasket isn’t positioned properly or is damaged, or the pressure cooker is over filled, follow these steps: 1. Release any pressure using the quick release method. 2. Remove the gasket and check for tears or cracks. 3. Check to be sure the gask...
