TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Why is my unit taking so long to come to pressure? How long does it take to come to pressure? • Cooking times may vary based on the selected temperature, current temperature of the cooking pot, and temperature or quantity of the ingredients. • Check to make sure your silicone ring is fully seated and flush against the lid. If installed correctly, you should be able to tug lightly on the ring to rotate it.
HELPFUL TIPS • For consistent browning, make sure ingredients are arranged in an even layer in the Cook & CrispTM Basket 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 reversible rack, we recommend first wrapping them in a parchment paper or foil pouch.
