Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials. Inspect the appliance for any damage.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, clean the interior of the pot and all removable parts (lid, rack) with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. It is recommended to rinse the pot and avoid draining water through the tap during this initial cleaning to prevent any metal dust from settling in the tap mechanism.
3. Placement: Place the pressure cooker on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface, away from walls or other appliances to ensure proper ventilation. Ensure the power cord can reach a suitable electrical outlet without being strained.
4. Power Connection: Plug the appliance into a grounded 230V electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions

1. Prepare Contents: Place your jars (for sterilizing) or ingredients (for cooking) inside the pot. If sterilizing, ensure the rack is at the bottom and jars are arranged to allow water circulation.
2. Add Water: Fill the pot with the required amount of water. For sterilization, ensure water covers the jars as per your recipe or up to the recommended fill line.
3. Close Lid: Securely place the lid on the pot.
4. Set Temperature: Use the left rotary knob on the control panel to set the desired temperature (up to 1000C). The LCD screen will display the set temperature and the current temperature.
5. Set Timer: Use the right rotary knob to set the desired cooking or sterilization time (up to 120 minutes). You can also select continuous heating mode if needed.
6. Start Operation: The timer will automatically start counting down once the set temperature is reached. The appliance will begin heating.
7. Monitoring: The LCD screen allows you to monitor both the set and current temperatures, as well as the remaining time.
8. Completion: Once the set time has elapsed, the appliance will emit an audible signal and automatically switch off.
9. Cool Down: Allow the appliance to cool down before opening the lid and carefully removing the contents.
10. Dispensing (if applicable): If using the tap, ensure the contents have cooled sufficiently before opening the tap to dispense liquids.
