GENERAL INFORMATION FOR COOKING UNDER PRESSURE
• An EPC (electrical pressure cooker) is an electric pan with an hermetic lid
and a special valve, that allows to cook the food under pressure, which
saves cooking time and makes the stiff foods soft.
• The following programs cook automatically under pressure: Quick Rice,
Porridge/Congee, Beef/Lamb, Chicken/Duck, Soup, Steam, Abalone. For
DIY function you will enter a cooking pressure state if you select at least
100°C, with the lid closed and locked.
• Once you have selected your program, the time to reach the pressure
will depend on the amount of food and liquids in the cooking pot. The
• Be aware that to use pressure cooking, there must be liquid in the cooking
pot and the temperature must be higher than a certain temperature
(between 100 to 120 degrees). Also the lid must be closed and locked.
If you don’t respect all those conditions, the appliance will start cooking
without pressure, at the selected temperature.
15
EN
PRESSURE COOKING
Quick Rice, Porridge/Congee, Beef/Lamb, Chicken/Duck, Soup, Steam,
Abalone are Pressure Cooking programs.
1. Follow the steps in “Preparations before cooking”.
2. Press “Pressure Cook” to choose cooking programs. The chosen
programs lights up, the default pressure cooking time is displayed on
the screen –Fig.7.
3. Press “Temp/Timer” button, the light of timer blinks –Fig. 8a.
4. Press “+/-” to change the pressure cooking time –Fig.8b.
lid must be closed and locked to reach a pressure state: as the appliance
is hermetically closed, when the temperature increases, the liquid inside
forms steam which raises the pressure in the pot (thus when preparing
with pressure there should be always liquid inside the bowl).
• Once pressure has built up in the appliance, the lock mechanism system
is activated and then the lid will not be able to be opened during cooking
(so all ingredients must be added at the beginning of cooking). Never
attempt to open the lid during pressure cooking. When the pressure for
cooking is reached, the appliance switches automatically to cooking
phase, and the time previously set starts counting down.
• When the food is cooked under pressure, after the cooking process the
appliance will switch to keep warm state. The digital screen will indicate ‘’b’’.
• When using the pressure cooker for the first few times, you may notice
slight steam leakage from the lid. This is normal and will occur when
pressure builds up. Some leakage from the pressure limit valve may also
occur during cooking.
• It is normal for a small amount of steam to escape during cooking (as
the valve is a safety valve).
Opening the lid after pressure cooking
• After cooking under pressure, steam will be released automatically, it will take
from a few seconds to 10 minutes depending on the quantity of liquid inside.
• To open the lid, take hold of the handle, turn it anticlockwise, and push
the opening button -1-2. Unplug the power cord.
Note: Be careful of the hot steam coming out from the lid. Keep your
face and hands away from the steam flow.
16
5. Press “Start” to start the cooking program. The appliance starts to
heat up. The light of “Heating Up” lights up –Fig.9. Once you have
selected your program, the time to reach the pressure will depend
on the amount of food and liquids in the cooking pot. The lid must
be closed and locked to reach a pressure state: as the appliance is
hermetically closed, when the temperature increases, the liquid inside
forms steam which raises the pressure in the pot (thus when preparing
with pressure there should be always liquid inside the bowl).
6. When the pressure for cooking is reached, the appliance switches
automatically to the pressure cooking phase, and the time previously set
starts to countdown.
7. When the pressure cooking time has elapsed, the appliance beeps.
8. When the pressure time has elapsed, “F” is displayed on the screen.
The pressure release needs to be done manually :
a Push the pressure release button to release the pressure –Fig.22.
b Keep your hands away from the pressure limit valve when
releasing steam.
c To remove lid, take hold of the lid knob, turn it anticlockwise and lift the lid.
d Unplug the power cord.
9. The appliance will jump to “Keep Warm” automatically when the
appliance cools down and the pressure releases completely.
RICE COOKING
1. Pour the required quantity of rice into the cooking pot using
the measuring cup provided. Then fill with cold water up to the
corresponding “CUP” mark printed in the bowl.
Note: Always add the rice first otherwise you will have too much water.
2. For best results, we recommend using ordinary rice rather than “easy
cook” type of rice which tend to give a stickier rice and may adhere to
the housing. With other types of rice, such as brown or wild rice, the
quantities of water need adjustment.
3. If you only want to cook 1 cup of white rice (serves 2 small or 1 large
portion), use 1 measuring cup of white rice and then add one and a
half measuring cup of water. With some types of rice it is normal for a
little rice to stick on the housing when cooking 1 cup of rice.
4. If you only want to cook 2 cups of white rice (serves 4 small or 3
large portions), use 2 measuring cups of white rice and then add two
measuring cups of water.

2. Sous Vide Cooking program
– The key for sous vide cooking is to create a vacuum seal. Vacuum
sealing foods prevents evaporation and allows for the most efficient
transfer energy from the water to the food. To do so, simply place
your seasoned food in a plastic bag and squeeze out all the air
and then seal the bag. Add water into the inner pot first and then
submerge the food into water.
– If you set the cooking temperature under 60 degree, please don’t
cook the food more than 6 hours.
