CLEANING & MAINTENANCE HELPFUL TIPS

• 
For consistent browning, make sure ingredients are arranged in an even layer in the
Cook & CrispTM Plate or cooking pot with no overlapping. If ingredients are overlapping,
make sure to shake them halfway through the set cook time.
• 
For smaller ingredients that could fall through the broil rack, we recommend first placing
them on parchment paper or foil.
• 
When switching from pressure cooking to using the crisping lid, we recommend emptying
the pot of any remaining liquid for best crisping results.
• 
Press and hold down the TIME up or down arrow to get to your desired time faster.
Use the Keep Warm mode to keep food at a warm, food-safe temperature after cooking.
• 
To prevent food from drying out, we recommend keeping the pressure lid closed and
using this function just before serving. To reheat cold food, use the Air Crisp function.

How long does the unit take to depressurize?
• The time it takes to release pressure depends on the quantity of food in the unit and
can vary from recipe to recipe. Always ensure the float valve has dropped before trying
to remove the lid. If the unit is taking longer than normal to depressurize, unplug the
unit and wait until the float valve drops before removing the lid.
