CCAAUUTTIIOONN::
DO NOT LEAVE PERISHABLE FOODS SUCH AS MEAT, POULTRY, FISH,
CHEESE AND DAIRY PRODUCTS AT ROOM TEMPERATURE FOR MORE THAN 2
HOURS (OR MORE THAN 1 HOUR WHEN THE ROOM TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE
90°F). WHEN COOKING WITH THESE FOODS, DO NOT SET THE DELAY TIME
FUNCTION FOR MORE THAN 1-2 HOURS.
FOR EXAMPLE: say it is 10am and you want your dinner to be ready by 6pm.
Your recipe calls for 12 minutes of high pressure cooking. You can program
your delay time for 7 and a half hours and then the pressure cooking program
for 12 minutes. You do this by pressing the delay time button until the panel
reads 7.5 and then the high pressure setting button until it reads 12. Next you
press the start/stop button, and you’re all set. The cooker will start cooking at
5:30 pm and your dinner will be ready at 5:42pm. The automatic warm func-
tion will ensure that it doesn’t get cold!

it down. Make sure the groove in the center of the gasket is positioned
around the metal ring on the inside edge of the lid. NOTE: The silicone
gasket must always be properly positioned on the underside of the lid;
otherwise the unit will not work. Check periodically to make sure that it is
clean, flexible, and not cracked or torn. (See pg. 10 “Getting started”)
If the silicone gasket appears damaged, cracked or torn, do not use the unit
and contact our customer service department at 1-800-207-0806.
For optimal performance, the bottom of the Multi-cooker, in the area under
the removable cooking pot where the temperature sensor and heating pad
are located must be cleaned after each use. Wipe with a soft damp cloth
and be sure to dry thoroughly.
Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to clean any of the parts.
NOTE: Store the Multi-cooker with the lid resting upside down on top of the
removable cooking pot. This will protect the valves, knobs and pressure
regulator on the top of the lid. If the Multi-cooker is stored with the lid
sealed, stale odors may form inside.
Press down and at the same time turn the pressure regulator knob
counterclockwise past the STEAM setting and carefully lift to remove. Look
through the holes to make sure there is no particle build up, and put it under
running water.
Turn the lid over and place on a table top. Pull out the anti-locking case.
Using a brush or toothpick, check and remove any food or foreign particles
that may be lodged in the floating valve. Replace the anti-locking case by
pressing down.
Replace the pressure regulator knob by lining the two notches up to the
inside wall of the pressure regulator chamber in the lid and turning clock-
wise. The white button on the lid should line up with the pressure or steam
setting on the pressure regulator knob. If it doesn’t, remove the knob again
and try realigning the notches the other way around.
