I have an electric ultrex pressure cooker. What temperature should I set it to cook a 4.25 pounds corned beef

Have you used it before or is it new? Slow cookers vary when it comes to cooking on low or high. If you never used it before, I suggest that you find a slow cooker recipe that cooks slow 10-12 hours and see how that works.

it is possible that you have misunderstood the instructions
for a slow cooker you have low medium and high
press slow cook and on low and in 8 hours the food is cooked
I see from your statements that you expect the cooker to be set on slow cook but cook at a high temperature fast
if it says slow cook --9 hours and the temp is 125 degrees , have you waited 9 hours to see if it is cooked as the slow cooking process is by the gradual build up of heat in the container that is not expelled by radiation to the air
in a pressure cooker , that build up of heat also builds up pressure and so it cooks better
other solution--- if it is not right return it for a warranty refund or if out of warranty , junk it and get a different make

1 hour per pound in oven at 350. Same if you boil or simmer, microwave is 20 to 30 mn per pound.

Check with an appliance parts stroe or on the internet.

The company had a major recall and went out of business. No manuals appear to be available on the web.
Here are some general instructions you can use:

1 Set up your cooker. Place your Ultrex Pressure Cooker on the stove. Remove the lid and pour in no more than 2 inches of water. Depending on what you are cooking the amount of water will vary. More water will ultimately cook larger amounts of food, but you will need to refer to your specific model's instructions on this matter.

2 Put in the food you wish to cook. Close and lock the lid firm to the pot. Make sure it is locked securely so none of contents boil out of the top.

3 Turn on your burner to high heat for approximately ten minutes. Allow the water to boil.

4 Turn the stove down to a low setting after the water is boiling in the cooker. Flip the pressure valve closed and allow your food to simmer.

Set the pressure valve to ten pounds. For vegetables, cook 30 to 45 minutes. For meats, cook 45 to 60 minutes.5

6 Open the pressure valve and allow the pressure to discharge. Unlock and remove the lid to find your fully cooked meal.

is this the one?
