Included Components:

• Main Unit with One-Lid
• 6-Quart Nonstick Cooking Pot
• Air Fry Basket
• Multi-purpose Rack
• Measuring Cup

Setup and First Use

Before First Use:

1. Unpack all components and remove any packaging materials.
2. Wash the nonstick cooking pot, air fry basket, multi-purpose rack, and measuring cup with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
3. Wipe the exterior of the main unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water.
4. Ensure the sealing gasket is properly seated in the lid.
5. Perform a water test (pressure cooking only) to familiarize yourself with the pressure release mechanism and ensure proper sealing. Fill the pot with 2 cups of water, close the lid, select a pressure cooking function (e.g., Manual, 5 minutes), and allow it to complete the cycle.

Operating Instructions

General Operation:

• Place the appliance on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.
• Ensure the cooking pot is properly seated inside the main unit.
• Add ingredients to the cooking pot.
• Close the lid securely. For pressure cooking, ensure the lid is locked and the pressure release valve is in the "Seal" position. For air frying, the lid should be closed, but the pressure valve position is less critical as pressure is not built.
• Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
• Select the desired cooking function using the control panel.
• Adjust time and temperature/pressure settings as needed using the +/- buttons.
• Press the "Start" button to begin cooking.
• Once cooking is complete, the appliance will typically beep and switch to a "Keep Warm" mode (for pressure cooking) or turn off.
