OPERATION
Before first use
- Remove all accessories from appliance.
- Remove all packaging materials, labels and/or stickers from your appliance.
- Check package contents for completeness and damage. Do not operate the appliance if package content is incomplete or appears damaged. Return the appliance to Walmart immediately.
Danger of suffocation
- Packaging materials are not toys. Always keep plastic bags, foils and Styrofoam parts away from babies and children. Packaging material could block nose and mouth and prevent breathing.
Protection features
Follow instructions for safe use. Do not attempt to defeat any of the protection features.
Parts | Functions | Safety |
Exhaust valve (1) | Mechanical feature that allows pressure built up inside the appliance | Automatically releases pressure in case of excessive pressure build-up |
Float valve (2) | Comes out once enough pressure builds up inside the appliance. Valve drops down once pressure drops below required levels | Once it comes out, the valve does not allow the lid to be opened; Once the valve drops down, wait a while before opening the lid |
Seal ring (4) | Creates an air tight seal to maintain pressure inside the appliance | If pressure levels exceed required levels, the seal ring expands to release pressure on the sides of the lid |
Valve protector (5) | Sits on top of the inner exhaust valve Can be removed for cleaning purpose | Prevents food from entering and clogging the exhaust valve |
Spill over protection (8) | Collects spillage and condensation from the cooking process | Prevents spillage and condensation to interfere with protection features |
Lid (22) | Mechanical safety feature that locks the lid in place with the inner ring, once enough pressure builds up in the appliance | Lid can only be removed once pressure level lowers to required levels |
Overheat protection | Electronic feature that prevents risks of fire and injuries | Switches off the appliance if the temperature exceeds the required level. Heating element, display and indicator lights will switch off at once |
Assembly
- Attach float valve silicone cap (6) on bottom side of lid (22).
- Place valve protector (5) over inner exhaust valve (7) (ill. c ).
- Install seal ring (4) on bottom of lid (22) between seal ring retainer (3) and lid (22) inside (ill. a ).
- Ensure surface of removable container (21) and heating element (15) are clean, dry and free of any foreign objects (ill. d ).
- Ensure spill over protection (8) is attached properly to back of cooker housing (16) (ill. b ).
- Place appliance on clean, flat and heat resistant surface (ill. e ).
- Ensure air vent (14) on bottom of appliance is free of foreign objects.
- To prevent accidents, do not place appliance on carpets, tablecloths or paper to avoid blocking the air vent (14)
Using the appliance
Use appliance to prepare soups and stews, rice, steamed fish or vegetables or to prepare chicken, steak or other meats in a healthy way, while saving energy at the same time. The appliance can also be used for slow cooking, warming food or for browning or searing ( Cooking programs P01 to P09).
Danger of burns!
- Escaping steam can burn.
- Always keep clear from exhaust valve (1b) when appliance is in use.
Opening and closing lid
- To close, place lid (22) on cooker housing (16) (ill. g ). Ensure lid position indicator (23) is aligned with lid position mark (18) on cooker housing (16). Ensure no food residue is stuck between lid (22) and cooker housing (16) (ill. h )
- Turn lid (22) clockwise to lock lid (22) with lid handle (24). Lid position indicator (23) on lid (22) is aligned with lid position mark (18) on cooker housing (16) (ill. i ).
- To open, switch off appliance by pressing STOP button (36) and remove plug (13) from mains. Turn lid handle (24) counter clock-wise to unlock lid (22).
Filling with food
- Fill the removable container (21) with the desired ingredients. Do not overfill the removable container (21). Do not exceed the MAX level. It applies to both food and liquids, once combined. Do not fill the removable container (11) below the 2 cup marking. Take into account that some food might expand during the cooking process. Overfilling may cause a risk of clogging valves and developing excess pressure.
- Only use the removable container (21) provided with the appliance. Missing or use of another removable container may cause injuries and/or damage to the appliance!
- Fill the removable container (21) with at least 1 cup of liquid (water, juice…) as it is necessary to build up pressure inside the appliance. Use the measuring cup (12) for easy volume measurement. Follow the instructions from your recipe for details.
- Insert the removable container (21) into the appliance (ill. o ).
- Dry the outside surface of the removable container (21) before inserting it into the appliance. Liquids may damage the heating element (15) during use.
- Ensure the removable container (21) is levelled with the cooker housing (16) and that
no object remains between the removable container (21) and the inner housing (20). - Place the lid (22) onto the cooker housing (16) and rotate it counter clockwise all the way. Ensure it locks in place.
- Insert the plug (13) into a wall outlet (ill. m ). The display (29) will switch on to the stand-by mode.
HINTS AND TIPS
- This appliance can be used to have your breakfast, lunch or dinner ready and warm by the time you wake up, return from work or from outside activity with the help of delay timer function. Do not use DELAY TIMER and KEEP WARM functions for recipes which contain foods that can turn bad easily (e.g. raw eggs or raw fish).
- To avoid scratching of your appliance remove hard shells of crustaceans or shellfish before cooking.
- P09 does not allow selection of keep warm or delay timer function.
- P03 and P09 do not allow adjusting default cooking time.
- Smaller food normally requires less cooking time than larger food.
- It is recommended to cook defrosted food and cook from a refrigerated temperature to shorten the cooking time.
- It is recommended to only use nylon, heat-proof plastic or wooden cooking utensils. Metal utensils may become hot and damage the non-stick surface. Always remove utensils from the appliance. Do not leave them in the appliance during use.
- It is recommended to clean all accessories used after each use.
- Do not use the appliance with canned products.
- You can also use the appliance to reheat food. Place food into the appliance, and then select the KEEP WARM program. To create pressure and avoid burned food, add a small amount of liquid to the removable container (21) before closing the lid (22), if required.
- Always ensure to add at least 1 cup of liquid into the removable container (21). It creates steam that is necessary to build up pressure. Do not use oil or oil-based liquids under pressure. When using wine, add an equivalent amount of water as it evaporates too quickly.
- The cooking time countdown only starts when inner pressure / temperature reaches suitable levels.
- When cooking under pressure, the food continues to be cooked after the cooking time has elapsed. In case of uncertainty about the time needed to cook the food, reduce the cooking time and use the quick release method to shorten the cooking process and waiting time. Remove the lid (22) and check for doneness. Cook for longer, if required.
- When cooking beans, add a teaspoon of oil to the water to reduce the amount of foam.
- Meat cuts of lesser quality are tougher but better suited for cooking under pressure as it breaks down fibers and allows more tenderness.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Proper maintenance will ensure many years of service from your appliance. Clean the appliance after every use. The appliance contains no user serviceable parts and requires little maintenance. Leave any servicing or repairs to qualified personnel.
- Remove removable container (21) from inner housing (20).
