time, the Multi-cooker will beep periodically to remind you that the cooking
has ended.
W WAARRNNIINNGG:: AFTER COOKING, THE INNER COOKING POT WILL BE HOT. USE
POTHOLDERS TO HANDLE IT OR LET IT COOL DOWN BEFORE REMOVING.
Rice Cooking Program
This is a 6-minute program for cooking dishes such as rice, polenta and risotto.
If you prefer your grain steamed instead of cooked, use a removable steamer
basket (not included).
11.. Position the removable cooking pot in the Multi-cooker.
Quick release method: release the pressure immediately by turning the pres-
sure regulator knob to STEAM. All the pressure will be released in seconds.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN:: THE STEAM COMING OUT OF THE COOKER WILL BE HOT, AND
MIGHT CONTAIN DROPLETS OF HOT LIQUID. ALWAYS TURN THE JET OF
STEAM AWAY FROM YOUR FACE AND HANDS.
Natural release method: let the pressure drop naturally without turning
the pressure regulator knob to “Steam”. This will take several minutes,
during which the food inside will continue cooking. Some recipes (such
as risotto) benefit from this extra cooking time. You will know when the
pressure has been released because the floating valve will drop and you
will be able to open the lid.
The Multi-cooker will beep once the cooking time ends. It will turn the auto-
matic “Warm” function on until you press the START/STOP button to cancel
the program. After pressing the START/STOP button, release the pressure.
You have two options for releasing the pressure:
Once all the pressure is released, remove the lid by turning it clockwise, lift-
ing it up and tilting it away from you to avoid being scalded by some remain-
ing steam or hot water condensation dripping from the inner part of the lid.

Press the START/STOP button to begin cooking. The indicator light will stop
flashing. The program will cook for 6 minutes from the moment it builds the
right amount of pressure. If you forget to press the START/STOP button, the
unit will beep twice and the digital display will read 0.0 after 30 seconds.
When the cooking time ends, the unit will beep and automatically turn the “Warm”
function on until you press the START/STOP button to cancel the program.

lector, and turn it counterclockwise until it locks into place. The locking pin

Press the SLOW COOK button. The light on the SLOW COOK button will flash
and the digital display will read “.5” - this equals one half hour of cooking time.
Set the desired time by pressing the SLOW COOK button once for eachad-
ditional half hour or by continuously holding the button down. The longest
cooking time is 9.5 hours with a temperature of 180ºF. NOTE: The temper-
ature for this function is equivalent to the low heat setting on a traditional
slow cooker. Most recipes using this temperature setting require 8-9 hours
of slow cooking.
