Kristi --
If you are still reading these posts and willing to share a photocopy or PDF of the instructions you located for your Sunbeam, I'd be thrilled! Like, you, I inherited my cooker from a grandparent (my grandfather) and am very sentimental about it. I am certain that I am not using it correctly or properly taking advantage of all it's features, since I never had the instructions. Mine is also the yellow/gold model.
Looking forward to hearing from you -- or anyone else who can help!?
