The Safety Lid

The Sunbeam Pressure Cooker has been

designed with safety in mind and has various

switch off safety measures.

1.Pressure will not build if the lid is not shut

correctly and has not sealed.

Releasing Pressure at the End of Cooking

a. Natural Release Method. The unit is

turned off and left to cool gradually until

the pressure releases on its own. The lid

is then able to be removed. Depending on

the volume of food, this can take 5 – 20

minutes.

2.Pressure will not build if the lid is not

locked in the LOCK position.

b.Quick Release Method. Using an oven mitt

flick the tab on the pressure and steam

release valve to the ‘RELEASE’ setting.

Do not place any part of your hand or body

over the steam outlet on the top of the

valve as steam is very hot and may scald.

Never use this method when cooking liquid

ingredients such as casseroles, stocks and

soups. The pressure is released when steam

is no longer escaping from the valve and

the lid opens freely with no force. Only

then is it safe to remove the lid and serve

food.

3.Pressure will not build if the pressure and

steam valve has not been switched to the

‘SEAL’ position.

4.Pressure will not build if the gasket or

the valves have become clogged. The

gasket and the valves can be removed for

cleaning. (See page 24).

5.The pressure and steam release valve has

an extended finger tab, designed to keep

the hand away from the top of the steam

valve. Flick the tab to ‘RELEASE’ position

to release pressure.

6.Once the pressure increases, the lid can

not be opened. Safety sensors ensure the

pressure remains within the set range.

7.The pressure cooker requires liquid to

work. If the unit has become dry, a Dry

error will appear in the LCD screen.

8.At the end of cooking the lid can not be

unlocked until all the pressure is released.

This can be done using the natural release

or quick release methods listed below.

Note: Do not force the lid to open. If it does

not open freely this means that the unit is still

under pressure.

Note: During cooking, steam will build up in the

unit, so when lifting the lid use a kitchen glove

or mitt to protect your hand.

Tip: Remember if the lid is not shut correctly,

if the valves and gasket are clogged and

if the pressure and steam valve is not in

the ‘SEAL’ position, the unit can not gain

pressure and an ERROR message will appear

in the LCD screen. Check the gasket seal is

placed evenly in the lid. Program Errors are

summarised in the Trouble Shooting Display

Information Guide on page 30.

Cooking Menus Overview

Pressure Cooking

Capacity. When the unit is used on the

Pressure Cook menu, the maximum capacity

to use is the MAX PC marking on the inside

of the cooking pan. The unit can not gain

pressure and therefore can not work without

liquid. Using without liquid can severely

damage the machine.

Pressure Cooking is an ideal way to create

quick, flavoursome and delicious meals.

Pressure Cooking is a method of cooking food

in liquid (water, stock, wine etc) in a sealed

cooking pan. The sealed unit retains steam

and builds pressure raising the temperature

of the liquid inside the pan above boiling

point. The increased temperature of the

liquid and the steam results in reduced

cooking times. It also causes the fibres in

food to break down more quickly, resulting

in tender, flavoursome meats. Vitamins and

minerals are retained, natural flavours and

colours are intensified and less seasoning

can be required. As the meats cooked in

a pressure cooker tend to be more tender;

tougher and mostly cheaper yet flavour filled

cuts of meats can be used such as chuck

steak.

Note: The unit can not work without liquid.

Ensure a minimum of 250ml of liquid is used

inside the removable cooking pan.

Releasing Pressure at the End of Cooking

1.Natural Release Method. The unit is left to

cool gradually until the pressure releases

on its own. The lid is then able to be

removed. Depending on the volume of

food, this can take 5 – 20 minutes.

2.Quick Release Method. Using an oven mitt

flick the tab on the pressure and steam

release valve to the ‘RELEASE’ setting.

Do not place any part of your hand or body

over the steam outlet on the top of the

valve as steam is very hot and may scald.

Never use this method when cooking liquid

ingredients such as casseroles, stocks and

soups. The pressure is released when steam

is no longer escaping from the valve and

the lid opens freely with no force. Only

then is it safe to remove the lid and serve

food.

HIGH Pressure Setting is 70kpa. It is

suitable for a wide range of foods.

LOW Pressure Setting is 30kpa. It is more

suited to delicate foods like chicken fillet,

fish and some vegetables.

KEEP WARM Setting. When cooking time is

completed, the Pressure Cooker automatically

switches to the Keep Warm setting to prevent

overcooking and to keep your cooked food

warm until serving - perfect for busy families,

those on the run and those who need flexible

meal times. This setting is not hot enough to

cook, and should only be used to keep hot,

cooked food warm for serving.

Note: During cooking, steam will build up in

the unit, so when lifting the lid use a kitchen

glove or mitt to protect your hand.

Ideal Meals to Pressure Cook.

Soups, stocks, casseroles, sauces (e.g. pasta

sauces), meat, dried beans (not split peas),

rice, firm vegetables (beetroot, potatoes) and

desserts (such as pudding, crème caramel).

Cooking menus overview continued

Slow Cooking

Rice Cooking

Slow Cooking achieves flavour filled meals,

and tender moist meats cooked to perfection.

As the name suggests, meals are not cooked

under pressure but are cooked over a long

period of time. Slow Cooking provides

healthy, simple and economical cooking.

It requires minimal supervision, short

preparation times and quick clean up times.

When cooking rice, use the ‘Rice’ menu.

This is suitable for all types of rice including

White and Brown rice.

The Rice menu cooks under pressure for

faster cooking. When using the Rice Menu,

for rice measurements use the Sunbeam

Rice measuring cup included with your Aviva

Pressure Cooker.

LOW Setting. This is suitable for simmering

and slow cooking.

Capacity. When the unit is used on the Rice

menu, the maximum capacity is the 12 CUP

marking inside the cooking pan.

HIGH Setting. This is for faster cooking.

Typically 1 hour on HIGH = approximately

2 - 2.5 hours on LOW.

Sunbeam Rice Cup

Use the Sunbeam rice cup provided for

all rice dishes. Rice cup measurements

are not the same as metric cups. One rice

cup is approximately 2/3 standard cup

measurement.

KEEP WARM Setting. When cooking time

is completed, the Aviva automatically

switches to the Keep Warm setting to prevent

overcooking and to keep your cooked food

warm until serving - perfect for busy families,

those on the run and those who need flexible

meal times. This setting is not hot enough to

cook, and should only be used to keep hot,

cooked food warm for serving.

Steaming

The Steam menu is perfect for gently

steaming fish and vegetables. It is

pre-programmed to use the Low pressure

cooking setting. When steaming, use the

cooking rack.

The Slow Cook menu does not require

pressure to cook. It cooks similar to standard

slow cookers and uses low temperatures

and longer cooking times to achieve tender,

flavoursome meals.

The Steam menu does not cook under

pressure as foods tend to be more delicate.

Capacity. When the unit is used on the

Steam menu, the maximum capacity of liquid

should be just under the rack wires, so that

the liquid is not touching the food.

Capacity. When the unit is used on the Slow

Cook menu, the maximum capacity to use

is the MAX PC marking on the inside the

cooking pan.

Cooking Menu Settings continued

Brown, Sauté, Simmer

The Frypan mode has three heat settings

Brown, Sauté and Simmer. Change the heat

setting depending on the food that you are

cooking, and your style of cooking. It is

ideal to use prior to Pressure Cooking, and

Slow Cooking to brown meats, sauté onions,

vegetables etc for easy one pot cooking.

The Brown, Sauté and Simmer menus do

not cook under pressure but cook similar to

a frypan. Therefore unless instructed in your

recipe, do not use the lid on these menus.

Brown is the highest heat setting and can be

used to sear meats for casseroles and soups.

Browning meat prior to pressure cooking and

slow cooking not only gives your food great

colour, it also seals in the juices and flavours

and keeps the meat tender.

Sauté is a medium temperature and is

suitable to sauté onions, and mire poix

(mixture of chopped onion, carrot, celery)

often used in pressure cooker and slow

cooker recipes. Sautéing onions allows

caramelisation which contributes to flavour

and colour in the end dish.

Simmer is a lower temperature, around

boiling point. Use it to gently simmer sauces.

Capacity. When the unit is used to Brown,

Sauté or Simmer it may be best to cook in

batches to ensure the food is evenly cooked.

Wash until the water runs clear. This

removes excess starch which helps to

achieve fluffier rice, and prevents rice

grains sticking to the cooking pan.

Alternatively wash the rice in the cooking

pan two or three times until the water

is clear, pouring out the milky water

between each rinse.

10.The Pressure Cooker needs to gain

pressure before rice cooking can

commence. When the unit is gaining

pressure, ‘Cooking’ will flash in the

Types of Rice

There are three main types of rice:

Medium brown – is whole grain that has

been hulled but not polished. It has a nutty

flavour and is slightly chewy in texture. It can

be used as an all-rounder.

Short Grain: The grains are short and plump.

When cooked the grains are soft and sticky

with a glossy appearance.

Long Grain: the grains are long and narrow.

When cooked the grains remain fluffy, dry

and separate.

Varieties of short grain rice:

Japanese Koshihikari - a soft sticky rice, sold

as “sushi rice” and used to make sushi

Varieties of long grain rice are:

Pearl – a soft sticky rice used to make

puddings and desserts.

Long – a perfect all-round rice used in a wide

variety of cuisines.

Medium Grain: The grains are medium in size.

When cooked the grains are tender, moist

and tend to stick together.

Jasmine – a fragrant rice which is suited to

Asian type cuisine.

Basmati – has a fragrant aroma which is

suited to Indian type cuisine.

Varieties of medium grain rice:

Arborio – a soft cooking chalky rice used to

make risotto and paella.

Medium white and brown rice

White calrose - a soft cooking rice used to

make paella.

Using the Steam menu

Place the Pressure Cooker on a flat, level

surface.

8. The Pressure Cooker needs to gain

temperature before steam cooking can

commence. When the unit is gaining

temperature, ‘Cooking’ will flash in the

LCD screen and the time will not count

down. When temperature has been

reached, ‘Cooking’ will stop flashing and

the time will begin to count down.

Plug in the unit. The unit will beep, and

the indicator lights and the LCD screen will

illuminate. The Pressure Cooker will default

to the Pressure Cooker menu, on the HIGH

setting. ‘Pressure’ and ‘HIGH’ will flash on

the display.

1. Place water in the bottom of the

removable cooking pan and insert the

cooking rack. Ensure water is just under

the wires of the rack so that food is not

touching water.

9. After the set cooking time has elapsed,

the unit will beep and cooking will end.

Note: As steamed food is delicate, there is no

Keep Warm setting on the Steam menu.

TIP: The Steam Cooking settings are in the

Cooking Menu Settings Table on page 13.

2. Place your food on the cooking rack.

3. Place the lid on, and lock by rotating anti-

clockwise so that the two triangle icons

are aligned to the LOCK position.

Note: The unit can not work without liquid.

Ensure a minimum of 250ml of liquid is used

inside the removable cooking pan.

4. Using the finger tab, flick the pressure

and steam valve to the ‘SEAL’ position.

Note: During cooking, steam will build up in

the unit, so when lifting the lid use a kitchen

glove or mitt to protect your hand.

5. If the menu is not set to Steam, set the

cooking menu by scrolling through the

MENU button until a light appears next to

Steam on the control panel.

6. To select the cooking time, press the TIME

button, and then press the

and

buttons, until your desired time appears

in the LCD screen. Each button press

will adjust the time by 1 minute up to a

maximum cooking time of 30 minutes.

Note: The minimum cooking time is 1

minute, and the maximum cooking time is

30 minutes.

7. Once you have set the desired MENU and

cooking TIME settings, press START.

Using the Brown, Sauté,

Simmer menus

These 3 Frypan menus do not cook under

pressure. They work similar to standard

frypan cooking, requiring dry heat and

therefore do not need a lid. Do not use a lid

on these 3 menus. If you wish to cover the

pan with the lid (e.g. to prevent splatters)

do not lock the lid and use the finger tab

to turn the pressure and steam valve to the

‘RELEASE’ position.

3. When the unit is gaining temperature,

‘Cooking’ will flash in the LCD screen.

When the temperature has been reached,

‘Cooking’ will stop flashing and using

tongs carefully add your food to the hot

pan.

Note: There is no Keep Warm setting on the

Brown, Sauté and Simmer menus.

TIP: Brown, Sauté and Simmer settings are in

the Cooking Menu Settings Table on page 13.

Place the Pressure Cooker on a flat, level

surface.

NOTE: Do not use the lid on Brown, Saute and

Simmer menus.

Plug in the unit, and ensure the removable

cooking pan is inside the unit. The unit will

beep, and the indicator lights and the LCD

screen will illuminate. The Pressure Cooker

will default to the Pressure Cooker menu, on

the HIGH setting. ‘Pressure’ and ‘HIGH’ will

flash on the display.

1. If the menu is not set to Brown, Sauté or

Simmer, set the cooking menu by scrolling

through the MENU button until a light

appears next to the desired frypan setting

on the control panel.

2. Press START.

Note: No TIME setting is needed for these 3

frypan menus.

Note: No lid is to be used for these 3 frypan

menus.

How to use the Time Delay

Time Delay is available on the Pressure

Cooker, Slow Cooker, Rice and Steam menus

only. The Pressure Cooker allows you to delay

the start of your cooking so that cooking

finishes when you need it.

Note: Do not use the Time Delay when the

recipe has perishable ingredients such as

meat, fish, eggs, or dairy as these may spoil.

Example.

It’s 4pm and you want to have 12 cups

of white rice cooked and ready in 2 hours

time for dinner at 6pm. You want to set the

machine now so you are free to do other

things.

By looking at the Rice Cooking chart on page

19, you see it takes 15 minutes to cook.

Time to gain pressure varies according to

humidity and water temperature, but say it

takes 15 minutes to gain pressure. Therefore

total time is 30 minutes. Therefore to have

the rice ready by 6pm, you will need to delay

the start of your cooking by approximately 1

hour and 30 minutes.

1. Set the MENU and cooking TIME using

the instructions on pages 15 to 22.

2. After setting the cooking TIME, press the

DELAY button, 0:00 and DELAY will flash

on the LCD screen to indicate the unit is

being programmed on the delay setting.

3. Press the

and

buttons, until you

1. Set the MENU to rice

reach the number of hours and minutes

your want your cooked to be delayed. I.e.

set the amount of time you wish to start

the delay of your cooking cycle.

2. Set the cooking TIME to 00:15

3. Press the DELAY button and set for 01:30

4. Press START

4. Press START button to commence the

delay program. DELAY will stop flashing to

indicate the unit has been set on the delay

setting. The LCD screen will countdown

the delay time until 0:00 is reached.

When 0:00 is reached, DELAY will remove

from the screen to show that time delay

has finished, and TIME will be display to

show that cooking time will commence.

The unit will begin to gain pressure. As

per the previous menu instructions, when

the unit is gaining pressure, ‘Cooking’ will

flash in the LCD screen and the time will

not count down. When pressure has been

reached, ‘Cooking’ will stop flashing and

the time will begin to count down.

Care and Cleaning

Cleaning should only be carried out when the

Pressure Cooker is switched off and the plug

removed from the socket. Allow the unit to

completely cool before cleaning.

Do not use the removable cooking pan on

the stovetop, inside a microwave oven or

inside an oven. Use the pan only inside the

Pressure Cooker unit.

Lid and Sealing Gasket

Always examine the gasket before each use.

The silicon sealing gasket on the inside of

your pressure cooker lid may deteriorate

over time. Remove and replace the sealing

gasket for cleaning as per Figure 1 below.

Hand clean using warm, soapy water and dry

thoroughly. Leave the lid upturned for storage

as this will also extend the life of the gasket.

Sealing gaskets will need to be replaced

every 1 – 2 years depending on regular

use. Contact your nearest Sunbeam Service

Centre.

Wash the sealing gasket and lid by hand in

warm, soapy water. Dry all parts thoroughly.

Cooking Pan

To remove food that is cooked onto the

bottom of the removable cooking pan, soak

the pan in warm water before cleaning. Wash

the removable cooking pan by hand in warm,

soapy water. Dry thoroughly before replacing

the pan in the unit.

Press downward

Exterior

Wipe the exterior of the Pressure Cooker with

a damp cloth and polish dry. DO NOT use

harsh abrasives, scourers or chemicals as

these will damage the surfaces. To prevent

damage to the unit do not use alkaline

cleaning agents when cleaning, use a soft

cloth and mild detergent.

Pressure and Steam Release Valve

Lid Lock Valve

Ensure the pressure and steam release valve

is clear from debris before you commence

using the unit. Remove the valve and gently

clean. Ensure it is completely dry before

replacing.

Gently lift the valve and ensure it is clear

from debris before you commence using the

unit.

Note: Condensation may collect inside the

unit under the removable cooking pan. This is

normal. Wait and until cool, and then remove

using paper towelling or kitchen cloth.

Steam Release Valve Cover

The steam release valve cover is on the

underside of the lid. Ensure it is clear from

debris before you commence using the unit.

Gently hand clean the cover using warm,

soapy water. Do not try to remove the valve

cover, just gently lift it up and down to clear

debris. Ensure it is completely dry before

returning it to your unit.

Note: Always make sure that each component

(pan, valves, gasket) is completely dry before

you put them back into your unit.

Hints and Tips

With your Pressure Cooker you can create an

large variety of delicious meals, snacks and

desserts. Various foods take different times

to cook perfectly, so sometimes it may take a

little trial and error to get the cooking times

right for you.

Liquid

Do not use the pressure cooker without liquid

as this could severely damage the unit.

Pressure cooking works by cooking food in

liquid to create steam and pressure. Without

liquid the unit can not work. Ensure that a

minimum of 250ml of liquid is placed inside

the removable cooking pan.

Converting Traditional Recipes

• After becoming familiar with your pressure

cooker, you can convert conventional

recipes for pressure cooking. In general,

reduce cooking times by two thirds. The

amount of liquid used may also have to

be adjusted because there is very little

evaporation from the pressure cooker.

Reduce the amount of liquid so there is

only about ½ cup more than desired in

the finished meal. Remember there must

always be some liquid in the pressure

cooker to form the necessary steam. Try

this formula 1 cup of liquid for the first 15

minutes of pressure cooking then 1/3 cup

of liquid for each subsequent 15 minutes.

Liquid Based Recipes

Never use the Quick Pressure Release

method (opening the valve) when cooking

liquid ingredients such as casseroles, stocks

and soups.

Capacity

Don’t overfill your pressure cooker. Never

fill more than 2/3 full and only ½ full when

cooking with legumes, lentils and pulses as

these foods can expand and debris can clog

the valve.

Foods to Avoid

Certain foods are not suited for pressure

cooking as they can foam, froth, splatter and

clog the pressure and steam release valve.

Noodles, macaroni, spaghetti, cranberry,

apple sauce, rhubarb, split peas, pearl barley,

oatmeal and other cereals should not be

cooked in the pressure cooker.

• Since flavours are more concentrated,

reduce amounts of herbs and seasonings

when converting recipes. Fresh herbs are

better for pressure cooking than dried

herbs.

• Generally speaking, pressure cookers

cook foods in about a third of the time of

conventional cooking methods.

• When using frozen meats in your recipes,

the cooking time does not need to be

altered. Pressure will not be achieved until

the internal temperature in the cooking

pot is higher than the boiling point of

water. The cooking time will not begin until

pressure is achieved, it will just take longer

to achieve pressure.

Hints and Tips continued

Slow Cooking

Roasts

• If you are slow cooking, you can use the

Brown menu first which allows you to sear

meat and vegetables at the beginning, but

also allows you to thicken sauces and make

gravies at the end. Browning meat prior

to slow cooking not only gives your food

great colour, it also seals in the juices and

flavours and keeps the meat tender.

• You can roast a whole chicken as well as

whole pieces of meat, such as lamb, beef,

veal and pork by using the Slow Cook

menu.

• To make a sauce or gravy with the roast

juices, remove the meat and cover with foil

to keep warm. Set the Brown menu and

stir through some cornflour mixed with a

little water. Allow to simmer, stirring until

thickened. You can also add some stock or

wine to stretch the gravy a little further and

add great flavour.

• To thicken a casserole at the end of

cooking, use the Brown menu and stir

through a little cornflour combine with

water. Allow to simmer, stirring until

thickened.

• Roasting in the Slow Cooker will not brown

your meat or chicken, as roasting in an

oven does. If you want your roast to be

golden, we recommend using the Brown

menu to sear the meat first.

• Slow Cooking is perfect for the cheaper,

tough cuts of meats, as the lengthy cooking

process tenderises these cuts.

• When in Slow Cooker mode, the unit does

not recover lost heat quickly. So only lift

the lid if necessary or if instructed to do

so in the recipe. It’s a good idea to monitor

your slow cooking results throughout the

cooking cycle by quickly removing the

lid and checking, then replacing the lid.

Different cuts and thickness of meats and

vegetables can vary cooking times.

• Leftover roast makes great sandwiches

the next day. Try the caramelised onion or

tomato chutney recipe and make burgers

with the leftovers!

• It is not uncommon for meat to cook

faster than root vegetables. It is for this

reason that we recommend chopping all

vegetables to a similar small size. Meat

can be cut into larger chunks because if

it is cut too small, it will break up once

cooked and tenderised.

• Slow Cooking prevents evaporation,

resulting in the flavours and juices being

maintained. Keep this in mind when

creating your own recipes, as you may not

require as much liquid as you would when

using other cooking methods.

Hints and Tips continued

Roasting Meat (such as beef, lamb and veal)

Stocks

• To get the best roasting results, we

recommend sealing your meat first. Trim

away any excess fat. Rub the meat with a

little oil and season with salt and pepper

(or any other flavourings or spices you wish

to use). Use the Brown menu, and when

pre-heated, cook meat for a few minutes

on each side. Set the Slow Cooker mode to

LOW or HIGH and cook for the appropriate

time.

• You can easily make stocks. Many slow

cooker recipes use stock as part of the

ingredients. A good stock is also the base

of a great soup. Stocks can be bought at

supermarkets; however, nothing beats the

flavour of a homemade stock.

• Making your own stock is a great way to

use up bones or carcasses that would

normally be thrown away.

• There is no need to peel your vegetables

when making a stock. Just ensure you wash

them well before use.

Approximate cooking times for well done:

LOW 2 hours per 500g

HIGH 1 hour per 500g

• Fresh made stock will keep in the

refrigerator for up to 4 days, but can be

frozen for up to 3 months.

Note: Unlike roasting in your oven, meat

cooked to well done in the slow cooker will

still be very tender.

• Always label and date your stock before

storing. It’s a good idea to freeze stock

in portioned sizes. So for example if you

generally use stocks in stews, casseroles,

curries etc, then freeze your stock in 1

cup portions. If you tend to use your stock

more for gravies and sauces, then freeze

it in smaller ¼ cup portions or even in

ice cube trays, so that you don’t need to

defrost large quantities at a time.

Roasting Chicken

• Wash the chicken in cold running water

and pat dry with an absorbent paper towel.

Rub with a little olive oil and season all

over with salt and pepper (or any other

spices you wish). Use the Brown menu,

and when pre-heated, cook the chicken for

a few minutes on each side until golden.

Set the Slow Cooker mode to LOW or HIGH

and cook for the appropriate time.

• To remove the excess fat, place the stock

in the fridge overnight, then skim the

solidified fat from the surface.

Approximate cooking times:

LOW 2 hours per 500g

HIGH 1 hour per 500g

Note: Ensure chicken is cooked all the way

through by inserting a skewer or knife into

the meatiest part of the chicken. The juices

will be clear when the chicken is cooked

through. If the juices are pink, a little more

cooking is required.

Hints and Tips continued

Rice

Lid and Gasket

• Use only the Sunbeam rice measuring

cup provided. Rice measuring cups and

standard measuring cups are not the same.

One rice cup is approximately 2/3 standard

cup measurement.

• Sealing Gasket. The rubber gasket on

the inside of your pressure cooker lid

may deteriorate over time. Leave the

lid upturned for storage as this will also

extend the life of the gasket.

• For fluffier rice, add a little extra water and

for firmer rice add a little less water.

• Pressure and Steam Release Valve. Ensure

the pressure and steam valve is clear

from debris before you commence using

the unit. Remove the valve and gently

clean using a pipe cleaner. When on the

‘SEAL’ setting the valve is lowered onto

the valve housing. When the valve is in

the ‘RELEASE’ setting, the valve is raised

above the housing so that pressure can not

form in the unit.

• Wash rice thoroughly until the water runs

clear. This removes excess starch which

helps to achieve fluffier rice, and prevents

rice grains sticking to the cooking pan.

• Rice cooking can result in a build up of

starchy water and bubbles forming around

the valve and lid which can cause spitting

from the steam valve. Keep a clear area

around the unit when cooking rice. Make

sure white and brown rice is rinsed well

before cooking.

• Lid Lock Valve. This is on the underneath

of the lid. Ensure the valve is clear from

debris before you commence using the

unit. Lift the valve and gently clean using a

pipe cleaner.

• As rice grains can be delicate, at the end

of cooking wait until the pressure releases

naturally, rather than using the Quick

Release Method (using the finger tab on

the pressure release valve).

• Steam Release Valve Cover. This cover is on

the underneath of the lid. Ensure the cover

is clear from debris before you commence

using the unit. Lift the cover and clean

with warm, soapy water.

Brown, Sauté, Simmer

• When the unit is used to Brown, Sauté or

Simmer it is best to cook in batches to

ensure the food is evenly cooked.

• During cooking, steam will build up in the

unit, so when lifting the lid use a kitchen

glove or mitt to protect your hand.
