• c) If a long detachable power-supply cord is used:
  1. The marked electrical rating of the detachable power supply cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the unit.
  2. If the unit is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding type 2-wire cord; and
  3. The longer 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.

ADDITIONAL SAFEGUARDS

PRODUCT FEATURES

The NuWave Nutri-Pot Digital Pressure Cooker combines the advantages of a Pressure Cooker, Rice Cooker, and Slow Cooker all in one. The advantages include structure, vanguard shape, enhanced safety settings, multiple functions, easy operation, saving time and energy, and locking in the nutrition of food. It is an ideal unit for any modern home.

Benefits
The NuWave Nutri-Pot Digital Pressure Cooker seals steam inside during use, creating pressure and raising the internal temperature above the boiling point of water. The result is an expedited cooking process and healthier meals.

Multiple Cooking Functions
Now you can sear, stew, steam, simmer, bake, can, slow-cook, and keep your foods warm all with the push of a button.

Digital
Ingredients are automatically cooked to the right specifications. During operation, the NuWave Nutri-Pot® Digital Pressure Cooker will indicate which cooking function it is performing. Once finished, depending on the function, it will automatically switch to the Warm setting until you’re ready to eat.

Preset Time Function
The NuWave Nutri-Pot includes a Delay feature so you can start cooking exactly when you want.

Saved Memory
If the NuWave Nutri-Pot is disconnected from its power supply and reconnected within 20 minutes, all programmed settings will be retained.

High Efficiency
Cooking in the NuWave Nutri-Pot saves you time and energy.

Perfect Seal
The Silicone Gasket helps to lock in the taste and nutrients of your favorite foods.

Easy to Clean
The Inner Pot is non-stick, so it’s easy to clean. The stainless steel Lid is durable and detachable for easy cleaning.

Innovative Design
The NuWave Nutri-Pot features a user-friendly design that releases any excess steam away from the unit, ensuring peace of mind.

Faster Cooking
On average, pressure cookers prepare food faster than traditional cooking methods, and the NuWave Nutri-Pot Digital Pressure Cooker is no exception.

Tastier Meals
Pressure cooking allows food to retain its full flavor by cooking quickly and efficiently. With the natural flavor intact, less seasoning is required, enabling you to craft your meals precisely to your taste.

Healthier Results
More vitamins and minerals are retained in food prepared with the NuWave Nutri-Pot compared to conventional stovetop cooking. In addition, pressure cooking utilizes water in lieu of additional unhealthy oils or fat, virtually eliminating the need to add extra, unnecessary calories to your diet.

Multifunctional
The NuWave Nutri-Pot can be used for steaming, simmering, and stewing fresh or even frozen foods. You can even use it for canning and baking. Prepare everything from delicate soups and desserts to hearty meat dishes.

MULTIPLE SAFETY DEVICES

Sure Lock™ Technology
The NuWave 8-Qt. Nutri-Pot® Digital Pressure Cooker is equipped with the revolutionary Sure Lock technology. It surpasses other pressure cookers in advanced safety features. Sure Lock is comprised of multiple independent safety features, such as:

• Lid Lock: The 3-point Lid Lock system locks the Lid in place at three independent points. It ensures that the unit will not pressurize unless the Lid is completely closed. Once the Nutri-Pot is pressurized, the Lid will not open.
• Maintaining Pressure: The Bottom Pressure Switch monitors the cooking chamber and helps keep the unit at the perfect pressure. The Lower Disc is designed to release pressure automatically if the Nutri-Pot ever becomes over-pressurized.
• The Food Blocking Cap: The Food Blocking Cap ensures that the pressure vents smoothly. It covers the inside of the Pressure Release Valve and prevents foods or liquids from clogging the valve.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY FEATURES:

• Pressure Release Safety Device: If the pressure exceeds the maximum level, the excess pressure will automatically discharge safely via the Pressure Relief Valve.
• Temperature Control: If the inner pot heats up while empty or if it exceeds the maximum temperature limit, the pressure cooker will automatically shut off.
• Thermostat: Once the Inner Pot exceeds the maximum temperature limit, the NuWave Nutri-Pot will automatically shut off.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Open Lid: Hold the left handle. Turn the Lid counterclockwise to 1 open position and lift.
2. Clean the outside of the Inner Pot and the inside of the Base. Place the Inner Pot in the Base, before first use.
3. Place ingredients and water in the inner pot. (See below). For rice, beans, and grains, do not fill more than half full. For soups, sauces, and broths do not fill more than ¾ full.
   Overfilling may risk clogging the vent pipes and developing excess pressure. This could also cause spillage and may damage the unit. The total amount of food and water should NEVER exceed the maximum level marking of the inner pot. Please refer to the max fill lines in the inner pot.
4. Water-Collection Box: Slide the Water-Collection Box into place.
5. Closing Lid:
   • Check that the Silicone Gasket is secure before closing.
   • Holding the Lid by the handle, lower the Lid and turn clockwise to close.
   • Once the lid is properly locked in place, the LED panel will display that the Sure Lock™ Safety Feature for pressure is activated. Sure Lock ensures your pressure cooker is ready to cook under pressure. This would not be used for “sear” or “slow cook”.
6. Once the Lid is locked in place, turn the “Pressure Release Switch” to the “Seal” position.
7. Plug the NuWPressure Cooker into an electric ave Nutri-Pot® Digital power supply. The LCD display will show “–:–” and the unit will go into standby mode.

Releasing the Pressure
Gently turn the Pressure Release Switch to the “Release” position to allow pressure to escape. Do not cover the opening where steam is released. Always use caution when releasing steam.

CONTROL PANEL

Main Display Interface

Auto Warm Feature:
When cooking is complete, the pressure cooker automatically switches to the Warm function. Default warm time changes depending on the preset used.

Example:
When the “rice” preset is complete, the NuWave Nutri-Pot® Digital Pressure Cooker will keep your “rice” warm indefinitely, until you press the “start/stop” button.

Note:
Food can be prepared at an earlier time and kept warm inside the Pressure Cooker using the “Warm” function. Food can be kept warm for up to 4 hours. Additional time may cause a change in flavor, and appearance, and cause food to spoil.
