Parts & Accessories

Before the First Use

1. Lid (underside) Rubber Gasket
   Before using the Power Pressure Cooker XL for the first time, wash the Inner Pot, the Lid, and the Rubber Gasket with warm soapy water. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly. For proper cleaning, the Rubber Gasket should be removed. Using the Pull Tab located beneath the Lid, remove the Pot Lid Liner that holds the Gasket. After cleaning, re-attach the Gasket to the Lid Liner and snap it back in place. NOTE: Properly place the Rubber Gasket on the lid; otherwise unit may not pressurize.
2. Fill with Water – Place the Lid on the Cooker
   NEVER load the Inner Pot above the MAX line. Rotate the Inner Pot to make certain that it is seated properly. Place Lid on the Cooker with the Handle and Recessed Valve (Fig. A) pointed to the “10:00” position. Rotate Lid counter-clockwise until you feel a click. HOT LIDWARNING: Use a black composite handle only when opening the lid. The stainless steel parts become very hot and could burn your hands. To ensure the correct fitting of the Rubber Gasket, fill the Inner Pot with water about 2/3 full. Place the Inner Pot into the unit. Place the Lid on the cooker, then rotate the Pressure Valve to the Lock position and run on CANNING mode for 10 minutes.
   IMPORTANT LID SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: The unit has a Magnetic Safety Sensor to ensure the lid is properly closed and the unit can pressurize. If the lid is not on correctly, a beeping noise will occur and the word “Lid” will appear on the display indicating the lid is not fully closed and the unit cannot pressurize.
3. Pressure Valve
   When the cycle is complete, using tongs or another kitchen tool, carefully rotate the Pressure Valve to the Open position allowing all pressure to escape. The Floating Valve and Red Pressure Indicator will drop. Let the appliance cool to room temperature. Pour out the water. Rinse and towel dry the Inner Pot. The Power Pressure Cooker XL is now ready for use.
   WARNING: To avoid serious injury, never use your hand to set the Pressure Valve in the Open or Close Positions after any cooking process. Use tongs or some other kitchen tool.

Red Pressure Indicator
The Red Pressure Indicator on the lid indicates that the unit is pressurized. DO NOT touch or press the indicator, doing so will release hot steam which reduces the unit’s pressure and can cause injury. Always use the manual pressure release valve to release pressure.
