Note:

1. Follow the steps in "Preparations before cooking".
2. Put the plug in the power socket.
   The power indicator (Power) starts flashing.
3. Press the desired cooking function button or the baking button (Bake) to choose a cooking mode.
   For pressure cooking functions, the selected cooking function light goes on; for baking functions, the selected baking function lights up.
   The default pressure keeping time is displayed on the screen.
4. To set a different pressure keeping time, press the operating time button (Operating time).
   The pressure keeping time flashes on the screen.
5. Press the increase ( ) or decrease ( ) button to set the pressure keeping time. Wait for a few seconds before the appliance automatically confirms the pressure keeping time.
6. When the electric pressure cooker reaches the working pressure:
   the operating pressure indicator (Operating pressure) lights up;
   the electric pressure cooker enters pressure keeping mode.
7. When the pressure keeping time has elapsed, the electric pressure cooker automatically switches to keep warm mode.
   The keep warm indicator (Keep warm) lights up.
8. Turn the pressure regulator to the vent (vent) position.
   The electric pressure cooker starts releasing pressure.
   The floater drops when the pressure is released sufficiently.
9. Hold the top lid handle and turn the lid anti-clockwise until it cannot move any more, then lift it up.

Note:

When cooking soup or viscous liquid, do not release pressure by turning the pressure regulator to the steam vent position, otherwise liquid might spurt from the pressure regulator valve. Wait until the pressure is naturally released and the floater has dropped to open the top lid. The pressure keeping timer will start counting down when the working pressure is reached. In reheating (Reheat) mode, the appliance only reheats food at 110°C, but does not pressurize. After the cooking is finished and the pressure is released, you can press the cancel button (Warm/Cancel) and unplug the electric pressure cooker to turn off the keep warm function or when not in use.

Tip

You can adjust the pressure keeping time of different types of food for your own preference. If the cooking mode is selected by the baking button (Bake), you can cook food without adding water in the inner pot. In this case, make sure to turn the pressure regulator to the baking position (bake).
