Notes
The "manual" button and "pressure cook" button are the same and so interchangeably named for the different models.
The longer the beans soak, the less cooking time is required.
Be sure any beans containing the toxin phytohaemagglutinin (e.g. kidney beans) are thoroughly cooked to prevent toxicity.
