BREVILLE
RECOMMENDS
SAFETY FIRST

At Breville® we are very
safety conscious. We design
and manufacture consumer
products with the safety of you,
our valued customer, foremost
in mind. In addition, we ask
that you exercise a degree of
care when using any electrical
appliance and adhere to the
following precautions.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USE AND SAVE
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

• Remove and safely discard
any packing materials and
promotional labels before
using the pressure cooker for
the first time.

• To eliminate a choking hazard
for young children, remove and
safely discard the protective
cover fitted to the power plug
of this appliance.

• Always ensure the appliance
is properly assembled before
use. Follow the instructions
provided in this book.

• Always insert the connector
end of the power cord into
the appliance inlet before
inserting power plug into the
power outlet and switching on
appliance. Ensure the appliance
inlet is completely dry before
inserting the connector end of
the power cord.

• Take care to avoid spillage on
the connector.

WARNING

Only use the cooking vessel
intended for this appliance;
using cooking vessels not
provided will result in a
non-resettable issue.

• Do not touch hot surfaces.
Appliance surfaces are hot
during and after operation.
To prevent burns or personal
injury, always use protective
hot pads or insulated oven
mitts, or use handles or knobs
where available.

• Do not place the appliance near
the edge of a bench or table
during operation. Ensure that
the surface is dry, level, clean
and free of any liquid and other
substances.

• Always operate the appliance
on a stable and heat resistant
surface. Do not use on a cloth­covered surface and position
the appliance at a minimum
distance of 20cm away from
walls, curtains, cloths and other
heat sensitive materials.

• Do not place this appliance
on or near a hot gas or electric
burner, or where it could touch
a heated oven.

• Do not operate the appliance
on a sink drain board.

• We recommend not to place
the cooker on a stone bench

top when it’s cooking. This
is due to bench tops being
sensitive to uneven heat and
may crack if heated locally. If
you would like to cook with the
slow cooker on the bench top,
place a chopping board or heat
proof mat underneath
the cooker.

• Cooking appliances should
be positioned in a stable
situation with the handles (if
any) properly secured to avoid
spillage of the hot liquids.

• Do not place anything, other
than lid, on top of the cooker
when assembled, when in use
and when stored.

• Extreme caution must be used
when the cooker contains hot
food and liquids and/or is under
pressure. Improper use may
result in injury. When using this
appliance for pressure cook,
slow cook and steam, ensure the
lid is properly assembled and
locked into position before use.

• Do not move the cooker when
in use.

• Do not use the lid handle to
carry the appliance.

• Before placing removable
cooking vessel into the base
ensure the base of bowl and the
base of the appliance is dry by
wiping with a dry soft cloth.

3

• Do not use a damaged
removable cooking vessel.
Replace before using.

• Do not place food or liquid
directly into the base. Only the
removable cooking vessel is
designed to contain food or
liquid.

• Never operate the cooker
without food and liquid in the
removable cooking vessel.
Ensure a combined minimum
of 4 cups (1 litre) of food and/
or liquid when cooking. Using
less than 4 cups can result in
a reduction of pressurisation.
This minimum quantity
level does not apply for
the LEGUMES and RICE |
GRAINS settings.

• Always ensure there is enough
liquid in the removable
cooking vessel when steaming.
At least 4 cups (1 litre) of liquid
is required when steaming.

• Do not exceed maximum fill
level. Some foods expand
during pressure cooking
such as rice, diced vegetables.
Over filling may cause a risk
of clogging pressure release
valve and safety locking pin
and develop excess pressure.
Always follow the maximum
and minimum quantities of
liquid stated in instructions
and recipes.

• Some food to avoid when
pressure cooking are: apple
sauce, cranberries, pearl
barley, oatmeal and other
cereals, noodles and pasta, and
rhubarb; these foods can foam,
froth and splatter and clog
the pressure release valve and
safety locking pin.

• Before use, always check
pressure release valve and
safety locking pin for clogging
and clean if necessary. Check
to make sure the safety locking
pin moves freely from under
the lid.

• Do not attempt to open the
cooker lid after pressure
cooking until all internal
pressure has been released
and is slightly cooled. If the
lid will not turn to unlock, this
indicates that appliance is
still under pressure – do not
force lid open. Any pressure
remaining can be hazardous.
See operating instructions for
STEAM RELEASE directions
in this instruction book.

• The container must not be
opened until the pressure has
decreased sufficiently.

• Do not touch the pressure
release valve whilst in use.

• The surface heating element
is subject to residual heat after
use.

4

• Use only recommended
STEAM RELEASE button to
depressurise cooker after use.

• Do not use this appliance for
deep frying.

• Do not sauté or shallow fry
under pressure.

• Do not attempt to operate
the appliance by any method
other than those described in
this booklet. Do not leave the
appliance unattended when
in use.
