4. Pour certain amount of water into the inner pot as needed (Do not exceed the maximum water level marked by indentations on the side of the inner pot).

When cooking rice, add water to the level indicated on the scale inside the inner pot that corresponds to the number of cups of rice used. Use the included measuring cup to measure rice.

For example: to cook 6 cups of rice, fill the water up to the “6” mark.

①The food and water level should not be below the “1/5” mark on the inner pot.

②The water level corresponding to 12 cups of rice

NOTICE:

(1) The maximum amount of rice allowed for this 6L pressure cooker is 12 cups of uncooked rice.

(2) When cooking foods that foam, froth, or expand, such as porridge, or foods that are mostly liquid, such as soup, never fill the cooker over the “12” mark on the inner pot.

(3) When cooking porridge, add rice and water according to personal preference or a rice-to-water ratio of 1:10 to 1:12.

(4) The food and water level should not be below the “1/5” mark on the inner pot.

5. Put the inner pot into the middle layer. Make sure the outside of the inner pot and the surface of the heating plate are clean and dry and there are no objects on the surface of the heating plate and the middle layer. Adjust the pot left and right to ensure close attachment between the pot bottom and heating plate.

4. Functional Tips

(1) The actual cooking time may slightly differ from the default values due to variations in voltage, water level, or rice type. To prevent rice from clumping, fluff the rice within 30 minutes after the cooker enters the temperature preservation mode.

(2) After cooking rice, keeping it in the temperature preservation mode for 15 more minutes will improve the texture and flavor.

(3) After cooking porridge or beans, allow the cooker to cool down naturally until pressure is fully released. Do not release pressure manually, as it may cause hot liquid to spurt out.

(4) Never exceed the “4/5 Full” maximum water level when cooking.

(5) Regularly check the steam vent pipe to ensure it is not blocked. Clean the pressure release valve and sealing ring periodically.

(6) During operation, the lid may rise slightly due to internal pressure, creating a small gap between the lid and the body. This is normal.

(7) A clicking sound may be heard during operation. This is normal.
