Setup and First Use

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials and inspect the cooker for any damage.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the inner pot, lid, and any accessories with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Wipe the exterior of the main unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water.
3. Placement: Place the pressure cooker on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface, away from walls and cabinets to allow for proper ventilation.
4. Power Connection: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into the cooker and then into a grounded electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions

Cooking Process:

1. Add Ingredients: Place the desired ingredients and liquid into the non-stick inner pot. Do not fill above the MAX fill line.
2. Close Lid: Place the lid on the cooker, aligning it correctly, and rotate the handle to lock it securely. Ensure the safety valve is in the correct position for pressure cooking.
3. Select Cooking Mode: Use the control dial to select the desired cooking time or program (e.g., rice, chicken, meat, soup, steam). The cooker operates automatically based on the selected setting.
4. Start Cooking: The cooker will begin to heat up and build pressure. The "Heat/Pressure" indicator light will illuminate.
5. Pressure Release: Once cooking is complete, the cooker will automatically switch to "Warm" mode. Allow the pressure to release naturally, or carefully use the pressure release method specified in the cooker's detailed instructions (if applicable, usually a valve). Do not force open the lid until all pressure has been released.
6. Open Lid: Once pressure is fully released, unlock and open the lid carefully, away from your face, to avoid steam burns.
