• Never force open: Do not attempt to open the pressure cooker until all internal pressure has been completely released.
• Check valves: Before each use, ensure the relief valve vent hole and safety valve are clear and unobstructed. Blockages can lead to dangerous pressure buildup.
• Do not overfill: Never fill the pressure cooker more than two-thirds full. For foods that expand (e.g., rice, beans), do not fill more than half full.
• Heat sources: Use only on compatible heat sources: induction cooker, gas stove, electric stove, or ceramic stove.
• Handle with care: Always use the handles when moving the hot pressure cooker.
• Children and pets: Keep the pressure cooker out of reach of children and pets, especially when in use.
• Maintenance: Regularly inspect all parts for wear or damage. Replace worn parts immediately.

Product Overview

The Fockety 4L Steam Pressure Cooker is crafted from premium 304 stainless steel, offering durability, high-temperature resistance, and protection against rust and wear. Designed for efficient and safe cooking, it operates at 80KPA pressure to significantly reduce cooking times while preserving nutrients.

Key Features:

• Efficient Fast Cooking: Utilizes high pressure (80KPA) to raise the boiling point, speeding up cooking and retaining more nutrients through internal high-pressure circulation.
• 304 Stainless Steel Material: Ensures resistance to high temperatures, rust, and wear for long-lasting performance.
• Multifunctional Design: Capable of cooking rice, stewing soup, steaming, making porridge, boiling noodles, and more.
• Safety Pressure Limit: Automatically releases pressure when a certain level is reached, preventing the lid from being opened prematurely. Includes a pressure release window as a final safety measure.
• Intelligent Pressure Limiting: A dedicated device controls internal pressure for safety, complemented by an alarm valve that sounds if pressure continues to rise.
• Secure Handle: Ergonomically designed with a self-locking valve for a slip-resistant, leakproof, and heat-insulated grip, ensuring safe and easy use.
• Anti-Clogging Cover: A safety cover filters out food particles, preventing blockages in the vent and ensuring smooth pressure release.

Setup

Unpacking and Initial Inspection:

1. Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
2. Verify that all parts are present: pressure cooker pot, lid, main valve, and any included accessories (e.g., sealing ring, small cup, cleaning pin).
3. Inspect the cooker for any signs of damage from shipping. Do not use if damaged.

First Use Cleaning:

1. Wash the pot, lid, and all removable parts thoroughly with warm, soapy water.
2. Rinse all components completely to remove any soap residue.
3. Dry all parts thoroughly before assembly.

Assembly:

1. Ensure the sealing ring is correctly seated inside the lid.
2. Place the main valve and safety valve components securely into their designated positions on the lid.
3. Before each use, check that the relief valve vent hole is clear of any obstructions.

Operating Instructions

Preparing for Cooking:

1. Add food and the required amount of liquid to the pressure cooker pot. Remember not to overfill (maximum 2/3 full, or 1/2 for expanding foods).
2. Place the lid onto the pot, aligning the lid's arrow with the pot's handle.
3. Rotate the lid clockwise until it locks securely into place. The self-locking valve will engage.

Cooking Process:

1. Place the pressure cooker on a suitable heat source (induction, gas, electric, or ceramic stove).
2. Set the heat to high. Steam will begin to escape from the main valve as pressure builds.
3. Once the desired pressure is reached (indicated by the main valve rising and steady steam release), reduce the heat to maintain a consistent pressure without excessive steam loss.
4. Cook for the recommended time according to your recipe.

Releasing Pressure:

There are two primary methods for releasing pressure:

• Natural Release: Remove the pressure cooker from the heat source and allow it to cool down naturally. The pressure will gradually decrease on its own. This method is ideal for foods that benefit from continued cooking, such as stews and roasts.
• Quick Release: For foods that require immediate stopping of the cooking process, carefully move the pressure cooker to the sink and run cold water over the lid (avoiding the valves) until the pressure drops. Alternatively, if your model has a quick-release valve, carefully activate it to release steam. Exercise extreme caution to avoid steam burns.

Opening the Cooker:

Only open the pressure cooker when the pressure indicator has dropped completely and no steam is escaping. Attempting to open it prematurely can be dangerous.

1. Once pressure is fully released, rotate the lid counter-clockwise to unlock it.
2. Carefully lift the lid away from you to avoid any residual steam.

Maintenance and Cleaning

After Each Use:

1. Allow the pressure cooker to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Disassemble the lid, removing the sealing ring, main valve, and safety valve components.
3. Wash the pot, lid, and all removable parts with warm, soapy water. Use a soft sponge or cloth to prevent scratching the stainless steel.
4. Pay special attention to cleaning the anti-clogging cover and the vent holes of the valves to ensure they are free of food debris. Use the provided cleaning pin if necessary.
5. Rinse all parts thoroughly and dry them completely to prevent water spots and rust.

Storage:

• Store the pressure cooker in a dry place.
• It is recommended to store the lid inverted on the pot to allow air circulation and prevent odors.
