SAFETY:
• Always keep your hands and face away from the pressure release valve, when releasing
the pressure.
• Use extreme caution when removing the lid after cooking. Always tilt the lid away from

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS:
Check that the voltage on the rating label of the appliance corresponds with the voltage
supply of you house.
WARNING: This appliance must be plugged into an earthed wall socket.
BEFORE USING THE JUNO ELECTRIC PRESSURE COOKER FOR THE FIRST TIME:
Remove all labels and tags from the product. Wash the cooking pot and all accessories that
will come into contact with food in hot soapy water with a sponge or dishcloth. DO NOT
use a scouring pad or any abrasive materials as this could damage the product. Rinse the
cooking pot, accessories and lid thoroughly and dry. Avoid leaving the lid fully immersed in
water, as it will take a long time to drain & dry. Attach the drip tray to the appliance, simply
slide it into place (refer to diagram). The drip tray will collect any access liquid generated by
the steam.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT IMMERSE THE MAIN COOKING UNIT IN WATER!
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
Place the base on to a dry, level, heat resistant surface, away from the edge of the work
surface. Do not use the appliance on the floor. Small amounts of steam will escape from the
safety release valve while heating, and sometimes during the cooking cycle. This is perfectly
normal. Therefore, do not use the Pressure Cooker under overhanging wall cupboards.

BROWNING / SEALING:
Before cooking meat in the Juno pressure cooker, it is important that the meat is sealed /
browned first. This means that the meat must be lightly cooked in a frying pan or pot with
a little oil before starting the pressure cooking process (make sure the meat is only slightly
browned on the outside and still raw on the inside). Sealing or browning your meat in this
way helps to retain its flavour and moisture.
Use:
• Remove the cooking pot, add ingredients (ensure meat is browned beforehand) and
water, never fill the cooking pot to more than 4/5 of its capacity.
• Insert the cooking pot into the appliance ensuring the external surface of the cooking
pot is dry and clean.
• Turn the cooking pot slightly once inside the appliance to ensure even contact with the
cooking plate.
• Then secure the lid to the appliance and seal it as follows:
a. Check that the sealing ring is correctly in place on the lid.
b. Place the lid on the appliance in the “open” position, then turn the lid anti-clockwise to
the “Sealed” position. Ensure that the lid fits tightly, you will hear a click once correctly
in place.
• Once the lid is closed securely use the “selection dial” to choose the appropriate food
type you are cooking.
• Once the food type you wish to cook has the arrow next to it push in the “selection dial” in
order for the pressure cooker to begin cooking.
• The pressure cooker will take a few minutes to build up pressure, once the required
pressure is reached the time will begin to count down. The cooking time is indicated with a
“P” followed by the remaining cooking time i.e. “P:15” for chicken.
• The cooking time is adjustable in increments of 1 min between 3 – 60 minutes, depending
on the function selected.

PLEASE NOTE:
During initial use, you may notice a slight odour due to the burning off of manufacturing
residue. This is completely normal, it does not affect the food being cooked and will
disappear after a few uses.
NOTE: Ensure that the steam release valve is in the “sealed” position before the appliance
starts the cooking process otherwise the unit will not be able to build up pressure.
DELAY TIME:
• Before selecting the cooking function press the “time” key to add a cooking time delay.
The delay timer can be adjusted in increments of 30 minutes. Maximum delay time is 24
hours. Continue to press the button until the desired time delay is reached. The amount of
time until the unit begins cooking will be displayed on the screen.
• Once the delay has been selected use the “selection dial” to choose the desired cooking
function (i.e. rice, soup, chicken, etc.), then press the “selection dial” to select the function.
The cooking will begin once the time delay has elapsed.
• Please note that once the cooking time has counted down, the time may not be adjusted.
If more or less cooking time is required. The cooking process must be cancelled and the
timing must be reset to the required/desired time. (P:08 refers to 8 minutes remaining
before cooking is complete.)
• During set up and while cooking the “Keep warm/cancel” button can be pressed to cancel
cooking.
• After cooking the unit will automatically engage “Keep Warm” mode and the letters “bb”
will be displayed on the screen. The “Keep warm/Cancel” button can be pressed to cancel
keep warm mode.
• Once the unit has completed the cooking cycle or the LCD display has turned off before
opening and removing the lid, turn the pressure release valve to the “vent” position as
indicated on lid. Ensure that your face and hands are away from the opening of the pressure
release valve to ensure that you do not get burnt or injured, the steam is very hot therefore
extreme caution must be exercised when steam is being released.
• When cooking liquid foods such as soup or porridge wait for the unit to cool down before
pressure is released.
• Switch off the appliance at the wall socket and remove the plug from the wall socket.
• Once all pressure has been released and the plug has been removed from the wall socket
and there is no longer any steam escaping from the pressure release valve, the lid may be
turned clockwise to be unlocked.
• When removing the lid, remove it in such a manner that the steam is directed away from
you. Do this by allowing the top of the lid to face your direction, the steam will deflect
against the inner surface of the lid. Ensure you are positioned to the side of the unit without
your face or hands over it. Use an oven glove when removing the lid to reduce the chance
of being burnt by the steam.
• Only use non-stick utensils to serve from the cooking pot as any hard utensils made
from stainless steel or similar materials could damage the non-stick surface of the inner
cooking pot.
CLEANING:
1) Ensure that the power supply cord is removed from the wall socket and from the unit
before undertaking any cleaning task.
2) The appliance must be completely cool before undertaking any cleaning task.
3) You may clean the base of the unit using a damp soft cloth, do not under any
circumstances submerge the base in water or any other liquid. Do not put the base under

4) Remove the water collection box from the unit and wash under warm water with a mild
