4. Operating Instructions
The EIMSOAH Multi-Function Electric Pressure Cooker offers versatile cooking options, including rice, soups, steaming, porridge, and boiling noodles.
4.1 General Cooking Steps
- Add Ingredients: Place your food and the required amount of liquid into the main pot. Ensure the liquid level is between the MIN and MAX markings.
- Secure the Lid: Place the lid on the pot, aligning the arrows or indicators, and rotate it until it locks securely in place. Ensure the pressure release valve is set to the 'Sealing' position (if applicable).
- Heat Source: Place the cooker on your electric or gas stove. Begin heating at a high setting.
- Pressure Buildup: As the cooker heats, steam will begin to escape from the pressure indicator. Once full pressure is reached, the pressure indicator will rise, and steam will stop escaping. Reduce heat to maintain pressure.
- Cooking Time: Cook for the time specified in your recipe.
- Pressure Release: Once cooking is complete, turn off the heat. There are two methods for pressure release:
- Natural Release: Allow the cooker to cool down naturally until the pressure indicator drops. This is ideal for foods that benefit from continued cooking, like stews and grains.
- Quick Release: Carefully move the pressure release valve to the 'Venting' position to rapidly release steam. Use this method for delicate foods or when you need to stop cooking quickly. Exercise extreme caution as hot steam will be released.
- Open Lid: Once the pressure indicator has dropped completely, you can safely open the lid. Always open the lid away from your face.

4.2 Multifunctional Use
- Pressure Cooking: Ideal for tenderizing tough cuts of meat, cooking beans, and grains quickly.
- Steaming: Use the included steaming rack for vegetables, fish, or dumplings. Add water below the rack and ensure food does not touch the water.
- Boiling: Can be used as a regular pot for boiling water, pasta, or noodles by not sealing the lid.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your pressure cooker.
- After Each Use: Allow the cooker to cool completely. Disassemble the lid components (pressure regulator, safety valve, gasket) for thorough cleaning.
- Washing: Wash the main pot, lid (carefully around valves), and all accessories with warm, soapy water. Use a non-abrasive sponge or cloth.
- Rinsing and Drying: Rinse all parts thoroughly to remove soap residue. Dry all components completely before reassembling or storing to prevent water spots and odors.
- Gasket Care: Periodically remove the sealing gasket and wash it separately. Ensure it is flexible and free from cracks or tears. Replace if damaged.
- Valve Cleaning: Ensure the pressure release valve and safety valve are clear of any food particles. Use a small brush if necessary.
- Storage: Store the pressure cooker in a dry place. For compact storage, the foldable handles allow for easier placement in cabinets. It is recommended to store the lid inverted on the pot to allow air circulation and prevent odors.
