IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using appliance.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against fire, electric shock and injury to persons, do not immerse
cord, plugs, or Pressure Cooker Housing in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near
children. This appliance is not for use by children.
5. Unplug appliance from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.
Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning
the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions, or has been dropped or damaged in any
manner. Contact Consumer Service.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch 
hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. To disconnect, press the START/STOPButton until the Red STOP Light
illuminates and the Pressure Cooker beeps. Then remove plug from
wall outlet.
12. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
13. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing
hot oil or other hot liquids.
14. Oversized foods, metal foil packages, or utensils must not be inserted
in the appliance, as they may involve a risk of fire or electric shock.
15. A fire may occur if the appliance is covered or touching flammable
material, including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when 
in operation.
16. Do not attempt to dislodge food when appliance is plugged in.
17. Do not fill the unit above the MAX Fill Line. When cooking foods that

unit over 1/2 full. See “Cooking With Your Pressure Cooker.”
18. Do not cook foods such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley,
oatmeal or other cereals, split peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, or
spaghetti. These foods tend to foam, froth and sputter, and may block
the Steam Release Valve. 
19.CAUTION:To reduce the risk of electric shock, cook only in the
Removable Cooking Pot. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS WARNING: This appliance generates heat and escaping steam
during use. Use proper precautions to prevent  risk of burns,
fires, or other injury to persons or damage to property.1. Keep hands and face away from Steam Release Valve when
releasing pressure.
2. Use extreme caution when removing the Lid after cooking.
Serious burns can result from steam inside. 
3. Never remove the Lid while the unit is in operation.
4. Do not use without the Removable Cooking Pot in place.
5. Do not cover the Pressure Valves with anything as an 
explosion may occur.
6. Do not touch the Removable Cooking Pot, any removable 
parts, or heating parts immediately after using. Let the unit 
cool completely first.
7. To reduce the risk of electric shock, cook only in the
Removable Cooking Pot. Do not pour liquid into the 
Cool-to-the-Touch Housing.
8. Clean all parts thoroughly after each use.
9. Do not lift Removable Cooking Pot containing food by using
Upper Handles on Lid.3-PRONG GROUNDED TYPE PLUGThis appliance is equipped with a grounded type 3-wire cord 
(3-prong plug). This plug will only fit into an electrical outlet made
for a 3-prong plug. This is a safety feature. If the plug should fail to
fit the outlet, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.
Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the Grounding Pin
part of the 3-prong plug.SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONSA short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are
available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a longer detachable power-supply or extension cord is used, (1)
the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should
be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and (2)
the cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over unintentionally.
If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should
be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

INTRODUCTIONCongratulations! You are about to learn how to cook and prepare
delicious, home made meals in a fraction of the time it normally
takes, without sacrificing flavor or nutrition. Your FARBERWARE
®
Programmable Electric Pressure Cooker is quick, safe and easy to
use. And best of all, it can shorten the traditional cooking time of
most foods by up to 70%. 
• Your Programmable Electric Pressure Cooker cooks like a tradi-
tional Pressure Cooker by combining steam heat and pressure for
faster cooking times. Since an air-tight seal is formed when the Lid
is closed and locked, the heat and steam stay trapped inside the
Removable Cooking Pot. As the steam builds, so does the cooking
temperature which will get as hot as 250˚F, which is 38˚F hotter
than when food is normally cooked in a regular cooking pot with
liquid. This combination of high heat and pressure are what
causes the food to cook faster, while retaining water soluble
nutrients and flavor. 
• Your FARBERWARE
®
Electric Pressure Cooker is programmable. 
It has a built-in Thermostat and Timers which eliminate
unnecessary guesswork as far as adjusting the heat to maintain
pressure or clocking the cooking time as you would do when
cooking with a traditional pressure cooker on a stove top burner.
• The 1200 watt Heating Element allows for quick heating and for
maintaining even cooking temperature and pressure.
• The large, 6 quart capacity, heavy-duty, non-stick, aluminum
Removable Cooking Pot heats up quickly and evenly.
• The FARBERWARE
®
Programmable Electric Pressure Cooker has a
BROWN Function that allows you to sauté or brown food in the
Removable Cooking Pot before cooking under pressure. 
• The Quick Steam Release Feature allows you to release pressure
with the simple push of a button. Only press this Release in short
bursts until pressure is reduced, as HOT liquid may be ejected.
• The STEAM Function heats cooking liquid in the Removable
Cooking Pot to a boil in a matter of minutes for steaming an end-
less variety of foods like vegetables and shellfish as well as rice. 
• The software is incorporated with a CANCEL Feature for both
COOK TIMEand DELAY TIMEduring setup. If it becomes
necessary to cancel or reset the time before cooking has begun,
simply press the COOK TIMEand START/STOPButtons
simultaneously to reset the Cook Time to 01; or press the DELAY
TIMEand START/STOPButtons simultaneously to reset the Delay
Time to 00.
• The KEEP WARM Function holds and keeps cooked food warm for
an unlimited period of time. 
• The sturdy, brushed stainless steel and molded, Cool-to-the-Touch
Housing of your FARBERWARE
®
Programmable Electric Pressure
Cooker is both attractive and functional.

USE & CARE INSTRUCTIONSBEFORE USING THE FIRST TIME1. Before using the Programmable Electric Pressure Cooker for the
first time, wash the Removable Cooking Pot with warm soapy
water. Rinse off with clean water and towel dry. Wash the Self-
Locking Lid and Rubber Gasket with a clean, damp sponge or
cloth and warm soapy water. Wipe off with clean water and
towel dry.
2. Make sure the Rubber Gasket is seated properly around the 
Lid. To ensure correct fitting of the Rubber Gasket, fill the
Removable Cooking Pot two-thirds full with water and run on
HIGH PRESSURE as described on page 11, Steps 3 to 8 for 
15 minutes. Wait 15 minutes, then release pressure by pressing
on the Quick Steam Release Button in short bursts. The Pressure
Indicator will drop. Let appliance cool to room temperature.
Pour out the water. Rinse and dry the Removable Cooking Pot.
The Pressure Cooker is now ready to be used.BEFORE YOU BEGIN COOKING EACH TIMEFor best results,
always check that the Pressure Regulator Knob,
Pressure Indicator, Steam Release Valve and Safety Valves are in
good working order and that there are no foreign particles blocking
the Valve openings on the underside of the Lid (see Care and
Cleaning Instructions, page 14, Step 7).
POWER SURGE PROTECTION FEATUREThis Pressure Cooker has a Back-Up Feature to prevent malfunction
in the event of power surges. If the Pressure Cooker is unplugged or
switched off, allow at least 30 seconds for the program to clear
before turning the unit back on.NON-STICK SURFACEBe sure to always use either plastic or wooden utensils so as 
not to scratch the non-stick surface. Never use metal tongs, 
forks, or knives as they can damage the coating on the 
Removable Cooking Pot.
