Important instructions to be kept for future reference.

The following basic precautions should always be followed when using electrical

appliances:

1. Read all instructions before using the appliance.

The Appliance

2. This appliance must be used only for the purpose it was expressly designed; any

use NOT complying with the instructions contained in the manual is considered

inappropriate and dangerous. The manufacturer is NOT responsible for possible

damages caused by the inappropriate and/or unreasonable use.

3. The installation/assembly of the appliance will be made in accordance with the

indications of the manufacturer. A wrong procedure may cause damages to

persons, animals or objects, for which the manufacturer cannot be considered

responsible.

corresponding to the grid and the socket is suitable for the plug of the appliance,

and that the wall socket is properly grounded. This appliance is fitted with an earth

wire for extra safety.

6. DO NOT power the appliance using multiple sockets. If possible, avoid the use of

adapters and/or extension cables; if their use is absolutely necessary, use only

materials in compliance with the current safety regulations and according to the

electrical parameters of the adapters.

7. The appliance must NOT be switched on using external timers and/or other remote

control appliances, which are not specified in this manual.

8. Only use original components & accessories (e.g. Inner Pot, Lid, etc.) provided by

the manufacturer. Any non-original component or accessory NOT recommended

by the manufacturer (including, but not limited to, Inner Pots, Lids, etc. made by

other manufacturers or by the same manufacturer but for other models of the same

capacity or otherwise) may cause injuries to persons or damage to the appliance.

9. The packing materials (plastic bags, expanded polystyrene, etc.) must be kept out

of the reach of children or disabled persons since they represent potential sources

of danger.

Location

10. This appliance is NOT suitable to be used or stored near heat sources (open

flame, ovens, heaters, stoves, etc.) and/or in an explosive environment (in the

presence of flammable substances such as gas, vapour, mist or dust, in

atmospheric conditions when, after ignition, the combustion is spread in the air).

Items containing these substances should never be placed in the appliance, and

never be used to clean the appliance in order to avert the risk of fire or explosion.

11. The appliance should NOT be placed on a surface, or in the vicinity of objects

which can be damaged by heat such as carpets or plastics. DO NOT locate

multiple portable socket outlets or power supplies at the bottom or rear of the

appliance. During operation, as heat is transferred away from the appliance, the

surface that the appliance is placed upon as well the surface immediately above

or adjacent to it may become very hot. There should be at least 10 cm of free space

from the back, left & right sides and at least 20 cm from the top. Never put things

on top of the appliance. Never use the appliance near curtains or textiles. If the

appliance is operated on wooden furniture, use a protective pad to prevent

damage to delicate finishes.

12. Avoid placing the power cable on abrasive or sharp surfaces or in positions where

it can be damaged easily. DO NOT pull the power cable, tug it or use it to drag the

appliance to which is connected. The cable must NOT be placed under carpets,

or covered with throw rugs, runners or similar. Arrange the cable away from the

high traffic area, and where it will NOT be tripped over.

13. DO NOT use or store the appliance outdoors. Store and use the appliance only

indoors, or in any case, protected from weathering such as rain, direct radiation of

the sun and dust.

Operation

14. If you are using the appliance for the first time, you should:

a. Clean the Inner pot & Aluminium plate thoroughly with hot water & detergent

with a non-abrasive sponge.

Notice: you can use a dishwasher to clean the Inner pot & Aluminium plate

b. Clean the inside and outside of the appliance with a wet cloth.

c. Put the appropriate amounts of food to be cooked into the Inner pot.

d. Turn the Vent valve and turn the knob onto the “sealed’ position, and the Float

is at its lowest position in the Float valve before commencing operation.

e. Lift the Vent valve to let the steam out; and ensure that the Float of the Float

valve has fallen to its lowest position before opening the pressure cooker after

cooking.

f. Make sure to remove any label or protective sheet which may prevent its

proper functioning.

DO NOT:

 cover the appliance during functioning;

 obstruct totally nor partially the Vent valve, Float valve & Water outlet;

 insert objects (other than food to be cooked) or body parts inside the protection

cover of the appliance;

 lift the pressure cooker by the Handle (cover handle) when you need to move

the appliance, instead lift the appliance by the Pot handles;

 heat the Inner Pot by any other means, e.g. heating directly on a gas stove, as

the pot can be deformed as a result;

 press the buttons too hard so as to avoid any damage;

 use the appliance near curtains or textiles;

 leave the appliance unsupervised during operation.

15. During (and immediately after) the period of operation, high temperature steam

may escape from the container. To avoid scalding:

DO NOT

 fill the Inner Pot with hot water;

 use the appliance without any food item in the Inner pot or to heat oil or melt

butter without any food present;

 add food with its packaging (plastic wrapper, paper, foil, metal can, etc.) still

attached without first removing the packaging;

 place any container inside the appliance;

 move the appliance whilst the appliance is in operation;

 touch any part of the appliance except the buttons on the Control panel, Pot

handle or Handle during operation or just after switching the pressure cooker

off as it will still be very hot and may cause scalding. The bottom of the cooker

becomes exceedingly hot as the cooker operates;

 touch the inside of the pressure cooker while it is operating. This is to prevent

scalding. The bottom of the External plate becomes exceedingly hot as the

appliance operates

 direct steam at any person or animal & one’s hands and face should be angled

away from the Water outlet, Vent valve or Float valve at all times.

16. During operation, DO NOT touch the appliance with wet body parts, and it is

recommended to have between you and the standing surface, an isolating element

(for example, wearing shoes with rubber soles)

17. DO NOT soak the appliance in water or other liquids, wash it under the tap, or let

any liquid flow into the internal casing of the appliance to prevent electric shock.

In case of accidental fall in water, DO NOT try to take it out, but immediately switch

the socket switch OFF and detach the 3-pin plug from the socket on the wall

(holding it firmly with dry hands).

18. Switch the appliance off, switch the socket switch OFF and unplug the plug if it is

NOT used for a long period and before storing, cleaning or performing any

maintenance operation.

19. In case of malfunction or anomaly during the functioning, switch the appliance off,

switch the socket switch OFF and unplug the plug and check the cause of the

anomaly, if possible, with the support of a qualified person.

23. Save these instructions.

USING YOUR APPLIANCE s

1. Remove the Inner pot and Aluminium plate (with seal ring) and thoroughly wash

them with hot water & detergent with a non-abrasive sponge.

2. Clean the inside and outside of the appliance with a wet cloth.

3. Put food to be cooked into the Inner pot, with the:

 maximum volume not more than 4/5

 bulk of the food not exceeding 3/5

 minimum volume not less than 1/5

of the volume of the inner pot.

4. Wipe away excess water from the outside of the Inner pot before

placing the Inner pot into the External pot.

5. Turn over the Pot cover to insert the Aluminium plate (with seal ring)

to the underside of the Pot cover.

Closing the pressure cooker

6. To secure the Pot cover onto the pressure cooker, align the Pot cover with the Pot

handles as shown in the figures below:

Vent valve

Float valve

Spring should

be between the

Water storage

box and Pot

handle

Water storage box

Pot handle

7. A “clicking” sound is heard as the Pot cover is aligned into position. Using the

Handle, slide the Pot cover anti-clockwise and the Pot cover will lock into place.

8. Turn the knob of the Vent valve in any direction to lower the knob slightly.

9. Ensure that the Float is at its lowest position in the Float valve. (Note: do not worry

- as long as you are not able to see the float, it is in the correct position)

10. The pressure cooker is closed and secured.

11. Insert the plug into the grounded socket.

12. The Control Panel lights up and displays 00:00. The appliance is now in Standby

mode.

13. Select the function key you want, e.g. pressing the ‘Rice’ button will display P.12.

The pressure cooker will cook for 12 minutes, which is the default setting for Rice.

The display will also show the pressure setting (High / Mid / Low) above the ‘Time

Choice’ button, which cannot be adjusted.

14. However, you may wish to adjust the duration of cooking. For example, you may

wish to cook the rice for 15 minutes. In this case, press the ‘Time Choice’ button 3

times. Each press increases the cooking time from its default setting by one

minute. The display will now show ‘12’. However, you may wish to shorten the

cooking time to 9 minutes. In this case, press the ‘Time Choice’ button repeatedly

until the display shows ‘9’ (the display increases to the maximum for that particular

food group and then continues from 0).

15. Alternatively, you may just settle for a short, medium or long cooking time.

Pressing the ‘Taste’ button runs through from ‘Short’, then ‘Normal’ (the default

setting), and then ‘Long’.

16. If you press the ‘Keep Warm / Cancel’ button, then the previous operation is

cancelled, and the pressure cooker will enter the ‘Keep Warm’ mode. The display

shows ‘66’. Pressing it again will return it to Standby mode. Thus, if you wish to

cancel any operation, simply press the ‘Keep Warm / Cancel’ button twice, and

you are free to input your new selection.

17. Once you input your selection, e.g. pressing:

(a) ‘Rice’, or

(b) ‘Rice’, ‘Time Choice’ (press until the time you desire is displayed), or

the pressure cooker will start heating.

(Note: there is no ‘Enter’ button. There is no need for one!)

18. Please note that the temperature of the food needs to reach the default

temperature before the timer countdowns. This may take several minutes,

depending on the amount of the food, the temperature of the food you put in, and

the default temperature itself. Frozen food will naturally take a while longer.

20. Ensure that the Float of the Float valve has fallen to its lowest position, especially

when you are cooking congee or predominantly liquid foods.

21. Slide the Handle clockwise and lift the Pot cover to open the pressure cooker.

(Note: the pressure cooker should be opened only when the pressure has

decreased sufficiently as high pressure could cause personal injury and damage

to surroundings.)

CLEANING s

1. Disconnect plug and wait until the appliance has cooled down completely.

2. Remove the Inner pot and detach the Aluminium plate from the Pot cover.

3. Always clean cooking appliances soon after use. This will prevent food from

sticking to the appliance and reduce the possibility of bacterial growth. It will also

reduce the likelihood of the utensils being stained or discoloured.

4. The Inner pot is covered with a non-stick coat. DO NOT use metal kitchen wares

or abrasive cleaning materials as these will damage the non-stick coat. DO NOT

use detergents or chemicals like benzene, thinner, polishing powder, etc.

5. Add warm water into the Inner pot and Aluminium plate together with some

detergent. Use warm water and a non-abrasive sponge to remove the oil and

detergent.

6. The outside of the appliance, as well as the inside surface of the External pot, and

the bottom of the Pot cover can be cleaned with a damp cloth, and immediately

wiped dry. DO NOT use a scrubbing brush.

7. Keep the heating element on the bottom of the External pot clean and free from

food debris.

8. Never run water over the appliance as malfunctions may occur if water seeps

inside the appliance.

AUTOMATIC ELECTRICITY CUT-OFF FOR SAFETY s

In the case where the installed thermostat malfunctions, the power supply will stop

automatically to prevent the pressure cooker from overheating. Numerous other safety

devices are installed in your pressure cooker, such as:

Anti-block safety device which prevents food from blocking the air outlet;

Pressure-control safety device automatically cuts the electric supply when the

pressure reaches pre-set parameters;

Temperature-control safety device automatically cuts the electric supply when the

temperature is abnormal and the inner pot becomes empty of fluids;

Over-heat safety device automatically cuts the electric supply when the thermostat

reads an unusually high temperature;

Limited-pressure safety device automatically discharges the excess pressure if the

thermostat or pressure-control device is not working; and

Pressure-relief safety device which prevents explosions when all other safety devices

do not work.

In these cases, the pressure cooker has to be repaired by the service centre.
