Preheat times may vary based on the selected temperature, current temperature of the cooking pot, and temperature or quantity of the ingredients. 

Check to make sure your silicone ring is fully seated and flush against the lid. If installed correctly, you should be able to tug lightly on the ring to rotate it. 

Check that the pressure lid is fully closed in place, and the pressure release valve is in the SEAL position when pressure cooking.

This indicates the unit is building pressure or preheating. 

These bars will continue to build up until they fill the length of the display. 

At this point the unit has built the necessary pressure. 

When the unit has finished building pressure, your set cook time will begin counting down. 

Make sure the pressure release valve is turned to the SEAL position. 

If you’ve done this and still hear a loud hissing noise, it may indicate the silicone seal is not fully in place. 

Press START/STOP to stop cooking, VENT as necessary, and remove the pressure lid. 

Press down on the silicone ring, ensuring it is fully inserted and seated on the metal ring. 

Once fully installed, you should be able to tug lightly to freely rotate it around the metal ring. 

The time it takes to release pressure depends on the quantity of food in the unit and can vary from recipe to recipe. 

Always ensure the float valve has dropped before trying to remove the lid. 

If the unit is taking longer than normal to depressurise, unplug the unit and wait until the float valve drops before removing the lid. 

It’s normal for steam to release during the pressure-cooking cycle through the top of the unit and the pressure release valve. 

CAUTION: Steam will be hot. Ensure hands and face are clear of the steam holes in the pressure release valve. 

When using the Pressure function, ALWAYS refer to the pressure cooking charts in the Quick Start Guide to find the correct water ratios. 

With any recipe that calls for the Pressure function, use a minimum of 250ml of water/liquid at a minimum. 

Tip: When cooking starchy or heavy foods with recipes not included in the Quick Start Guide, add up to 250ml of additional liquid. 

If 'Wtr' displays when pressure cooking, add up to 250ml of additional liquid. 

Yes, this is normal due to the condensation building within the lid. 

Condensation will flow from the lid into the moat and then into the condensation collector. 

Empty the collector often for best results. 

Unplug the unit, then use a large towel to absorb as much water as possible. 

Once the cooking base is completely dry, you may use it to cook again. 

The cooking pot is made of aluminum with a nonstick ceramic coating that is FDA approved and food safe. 

This coating is also PTFE free. 

The outside of the unit and any stainless-steel surface on the lid will get hot during cooking, but the control panel, exterior handles, and handles on the lid will remain safe to touch at any time during cooking. 

Pressure: High-reassure cooking for faster, more tender results 

Steam: Pressurized steam infuses moisture and quickly cooks food from the inside out 

Slow Cook: Cook food at a lower temperature for a longer period of time. 

Yogurt: Pasteurise and ferment milk for creamy homemade yogurt. 

Sear/Sauté: Use the unit as a stovetop for browning meats, sautéing veggies, simmering sauces, and more 

Rice: Cook a variety of rice 

Simmer: Gently simmer water, soups or sauces at a consistent temperature 

Pasta: Easily cook dry pasta 

Keep Warm: After pressure cooking, steaming, rice, or slow cooking, the unit will automatically switch to Keep Warm mode and start counting up. 

Keep Warm will stay on for 12 hours, or you may press Start/Stop to turn it off. 

Keep Warm mode is not intended to warm food from a cold state but to keep it warm at a food-safe temperature. 

Note: Included functions vary by model. 

Use the dial to select the desired cook function. 

Press the Temp button then use the dial to adjust cook temperature or pressure level (Note: temperature adjustment not available/necessary with functions). 

Press the Time button and use the dial to set the cook time (Note: time adjustment not available/necessary with functions). 

Press the START/STOP button to begin cooking. 

Press the START/STOP button or Power button at any time during cooking to cancel a cooking function. 

First make sure the unit displays YGRT on the screen before beginning. 

Be sure your starter contains live cultures and use full-fat milk for best results. 

Do not use flavoured yogurt or yogurt with additional additives as your starting culture. 

Incubate for longer periods for a thicker yogurt consistency. 

Greek yogurt typically takes about 12 hours to ferment. 

After making yogurt, add desired flavour and refrigerate to cool. 

You can only change the temperature between Hi, Med, Lo. when using the sear/sauté function. 

Press the TEMP button and use the dial to adjust. 

Time cannot be adjusted on this function. 

The display will cycle between showing “Preheat” and a flashing progress bar. 

Pick a pasta 

Pick a preparation 

Ensure valve is in SEAL position. Select PASTA. Select START/STOP to begin. Before opening lid, wait 10 minutes after the Pasta function has finished, then turn pressure release valve to VENT to allow residual steam to escape. 

Add toppings (optional) 

Please visit our Quick Start Guide for tips, inspiration and recipes. 

CAUTION: Steam will be hot. Ensure hands and face are clear of the steam holes in the pressure release valve. 

No, this model does not include an Air Fry function. 

It features the following cooking functions instead: Pressure, Steam, Slow Cook, Yogurt, Sear/Sauté, Rice, Sous Vide, Pasta, and Keep Warm. 

These versatile settings allow you to cook everything from tender pressure-cooked meals and perfectly steamed foods to homemade yogurt and sous vide dishes. 

Note: Included functions vary by model. 

As a safety feature, the pressure lid will not open until the unit is completely depressurised. 

To release pressure, turn the pressure release valve to the VENT position to quick release the pressurised steam. 

A quick burst of steam will spurt out of the pressure release valve. 

When the steam is completely released, and the red float valve has gone down, the unit will be ready to open. 

To open the pressure lid, turn it counterclockwise. 

Lift the lid at an angle to prevent splatter. 

Do not lift the lid straight up. 

If lid is still difficult to open, wait a few minutes and try again. 

No, once the float valve has popped up, you will not be able to remove the lid as a safety measure. 

You will not be able to remove the lid until all pressure is released.
