PRESSURE COOKING 

Rice,  Porridge/Congee,  Soup,  Beef/Lamb,  Chicken/Duck,  Steam  are 
Pressure Cooking Programs.

1.  Follow the steps in “Preparations before cooking”.

2.  Press 

 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.

5.  Press   to start the cooking program. The appliance starts to heat 

up. The light of   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 

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 ‘‘HOT’’.

• 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.

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: Rice, 

Porridge/Congee, Soup, Beef/Lamb, Chicken/Duck, Steam. For DIY 

function you will enter a pressure cooking 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 

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
