PRESSURE COOKING

Pressure cooking is an ideal way to create quick, flavorful meals. Pressure cooking is a method of cooking food in liquid
(water, stock, wine, etc.) in a sealed Cooking Pot. The sealed Multi-Cooker retains steam and builds pressure, raising the
temperature of the liquid inside the pot above boiling point. The increased temperature of the liquid and the steam results in
reduced cooking times.
HIGH Pressure Setting is 6.5 - 10 PSI (45 - 70 kPa). It is suitable for a wide range of foods.
LOW Pressure Setting is 3.3 - 6.5 PSI (23 - 45 kPa). It is more suited to delicate foods like chicken fillet, fish and some
vegetables.
KEEP WARM Setting: When cooking time is completed, the Multi-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 warm, cooked
food for serving.
Ideal Meals to Pressure Cook: Soups, stocks, casseroles, sauces (e.g. pasta sauces), meat, rice, firm vegetables (beetroot,
potatoes) and desserts (e.g., pudding).
Capacity: Never fill the Cooking Pot above the MAX line. Foods that expand during cooking should never go above the
1/2 mark. The Multi-Cooker cannot pressure cook without liquid. Ensure a minimum of 250ml of liquid is used inside the
removable Cooking Pot.

MANUAL FUNCTION

This function allows the user to select their own pressure cooking time ranging from 1 minute to 2 hours, with a temperature
selection of Low or High. This is particularly suitable for those users who would like to pressure cook food items not covered
by our other cooking functions. This also gives the user greater scope for sourcing recipes from a wide range of sources.
Please follow our guidelines for Pressure Cooking on page 9.
USING THE PRESSURE COOKING FUNCTIONS
Place the Multi-Cooker on a flat, level surface.
Place Cooking Pot inside Heating Base. Plug the Multi-Cooker into a wall outlet. The Multi-Cooker will beep, and the
Display Screen will illuminate with four dashes (- - - -).
1. Place your food and liquid inside the removable Cooking Pot.
2. Place the Lid onto the Multi-Cooker and align with
3. Using the finger tab, rotate the Steam Release Valve to the "Seal" position.
4. Select the desired cooking function
5. Adjust the cooking time and pressure if necessary.
Note: See the Cooking Guide on page 68 to find the possible time and pressure adjustments
6. Once you have made the desired adjustments, if any, press START/STOP.
7. The Multi-Cooker needs to gain pressure before pressure cooking can begin. When the Multi-Cooker is gaining
pressure, "HEAt" will appear on the Display Screen and the time will not count down. The amount of time the Multi-
Cooker takes to gain pressure varies according to humidity and water temperature, but average pressurization time is
5-30 minutes. When pressure has been reached, "HEAt" will disappear on the Display Screen, and the time will begin
to count down.
8. After the set cooking time has elapsed, the Multi-Cooker will beep and will automatically switch to the KEEP WARM
setting. The Display Screen will therefore change from the cook time to a new timer that will count up to 4:00 (4 hours)
or until you press the START/STOP button. After 4 hours in the KEEP WARM setting, the Multi-Cooker will go into
stand-by mode, and the Display Screen will illuminate with four dashes (----).
TIP:
1. The pressure cooking settings are in the Cooking Guide table on page 68.
2. If the lid is not shut correctly or if the Steam Release Valve is not in the "Seal" position, the Multi-Cooker cannot gain
pressure and an ERROR message will appear in the Display Screen. Ensure that the Sealing Gasket is placed evenly in
the lid. See the ERROR CODES chart on page 17.
. To lock, rotate counterclockwise to the LOCKED position.

3. It is common for some steam to release through the Bobber Valve during the cooking cycle. This is part of normal
operation of the unit.
Note: The Multi-Cooker cannot pressure cook without liquid. Ensure a minimum of 250ml of liquid is used inside the
removable Cooking Pot.
Caution: During cooking, steam will build up in the Multi-Cooker, so when lifting the lid use an oven glove to protect your
hands.
RELEASING PRESSURE AT THE END OF COOKING
A. Natural Pressure Release Method: After cooking cycle is complete, let Multi-Cooker naturally release pressure
through the Bobber Valve. Unit will gradually cool down on its own. Wait at least 10 minutes after cooking has
completed. If using a higher volume of food and liquid, this can take up to 20 minutes. And then, using a kitchen
utensil, gradually flick the tab on the Steam Release Valve to the "Release" position (see Figure 2). Do not place
any part of your hand or body over the steam outlet on top of the valve, as steam is very hot and can scald skin. The
pressure has been released when steam is no longer escaping from the valve and the Lid opens freely with minimal
force. Only then is it safe to remove the Lid and serve food.
B. Quick Pressure release method should be used with caution: Using a kitchen utensil, gradually flick the tab on
the Steam Release Valve to the "Release" setting (see Figure 2). Steam will release rapidly from the Steam Release
Valve. 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 can scald skin. Use this method with caution when cooking liquid ingredients such as casseroles, soups, stocks,
beans and pulses. Never use this method when cooking rice, as rice tends to be very delicate. The pressure has been
released when steam is no longer escaping from the valve and the Lid opens freely with minimal force. Only then is it
safe to remove the Lid and serve food.
Pressure Release Valve
Valve OPEN ("Release")
Valve CLOSED ("Seal")
CAUTION:
1. Do not force the Lid to open. If it does not open easily this means that the Multi-Cooker is still under pressure.
2. During cooking, steam will build up in the Multi-Cooker, so when lifting the Lid use a kitchen glove or mitt to protect
your hand.

SLOW COOKING

LOW Setting: This is suitable for simmering and slow cooking. Recommended cooking times in LOW are from 6 to 8 hours.
HIGH Setting: This is for faster cooking. Recommended cooking times in HIGH are from 2 to 4 hours.
KEEP WARM Setting: When cooking time is completed, the Multi-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: When slow cooking, the ideal fill level for your ingredients is between the 1/2 and 2/3 marks. Never fill the Cooking
Pot above the MAX line.
Due to the multi-functionality of the CSC089X-DIM appliance, its slow cooking function works in a slightly different
way to regular Crockpots. If using a recipe for a similar-sized Crockpot
time for use with the CSC089X-DIM.
