3 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. 36 Dried Beans and Legumes APPROXIMATE COOKING TIMES* HIGH PRESSURE NATURAL RELEASE FEATURE Beans & Legumes Cooking Time Water** Yield Cooked Adzuki, 1 cup dry 9 to 13 min. 3 cups 2 cups Black Beans, 1 cup dry 15 to 18 min. 3 cups 2 cups Black Eyed Peas, 1 cup dry 14 to 17 min. 3 cups 2-1/4 cups Chickpeas (garbanzo), 1 cup dry 30 to 35 min. 3 cups 2-1/2 cups Great Northern, 1 cup dry 28 to 33 min. 3 cups 2-1/4 cups Kidney Beans, red or white, 1 cup dry 28 to 33 min. 3 cups 2 cups Lentils, green, brown, or red, 2 cups dry 10 to 12 min. 6 cups 4 cups Navy Beans 1 cup dry 14 to 17 min. 3 cups 2 cups Pinto Beans, 1 cup dry 16 to 19 min. 3 cups 2-1/4 cups * All beans and dried legumes, with the exception of lentils, should soak in a large, covered bowl in boiling water one hour before cooking. The actual cooking times will vary depending on how old the beans are. **Add one tablespoon of vegetable oil to reduce excess foaming.
2 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. Rice APPROXIMATE COOKING TIMES* STEAM FUNCTION Grains Cooking Time Water** Yield Cooked Rice, Basmati, 1 cup dry 25 to 28 min. 2-1/4 cups 3 cups Rice, white, converted or long grain, 1 cup dry 25 to 28 min. 2-1/4 cups 3 cups Rice, white, arborio or short grain 1 cup dry 17 to 20 min. 2-3/4 cups 3 cups Rice, brown, 1 cup dry 30 to 35 min. 2-1/2 cups 2-1/4 cups Rice, wild, 1 cup dry 55 to 60 min. 3-1/2 cups 2-1/4 cups *Actual cooking times may vary depending on how old the grain is. **Add one tablespoon of vegetable oil to reduce excess foaming. 37
1 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.
