5.2 Basic Cooking Steps

2. Place the lid on the cooker and twist it clockwise until it locks securely. Ensure the pressure release valve is in the sealing position (if applicable).
3. Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. The display will light up.
4. Press the 'Menu' button repeatedly to select your desired cooking program (e.g., Rice, Meat, Soup). The corresponding indicator will light up.
5. Adjust cooking time or texture using the '+' / '-' buttons or 'Texture' button if needed.
6. Press the 'Start' button to begin cooking. The cooker will preheat, then build pressure, and the cooking countdown will begin.
7. Once cooking is complete, the cooker will beep and automatically switch to 'Keep Warm' mode.

5.3 Pressure Release

After cooking, pressure must be released before opening the lid. There are two methods:

• Natural Release: Allow the cooker to cool down naturally. The pressure will dissipate gradually, and the float valve will drop. This method is ideal for foods that benefit from continued cooking or for foamy foods.
• Quick Release: Carefully turn the pressure release valve to the 'Venting' position. Steam will rapidly escape. Keep hands and face away from the steam. Once the float valve drops, it is safe to open the lid. This method is suitable for delicate foods that can overcook quickly.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your pressure cooker.

1. Always unplug the cooker and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Inner Pot: The removable inner pot is dishwasher safe or can be washed by hand with warm, soapy water. Use a non-abrasive sponge to prevent scratching.
3. Lid: Wash the lid, including the sealing ring, float valve, and pressure release valve, with warm, soapy water. Ensure all food particles are removed from the valves. The sealing ring can be removed for thorough cleaning and should be reinstalled correctly before next use.
4. Main Unit: Wipe the exterior of the main unit with a damp cloth. Never immerse the main unit in water or any other liquid.
5. Accessories: Wash the measuring cup, rice spoon, and steaming rack with warm, soapy water.
6. Storage: Ensure all parts are completely dry before storing. Store the cooker in a dry place. You may place the lid upside down on the inner pot to prevent odors.
