BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRSTBREVILLE 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.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USE AND SAVE FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE

• Remove and safely discard

any packaging material and
promotional labels before use.

• 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.

• 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.

BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST

• 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.

• 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 bowl into stainless
steel base ensure the base
of bowl and the base of the
appliance is dry by wiping
with a dry soft cloth.

• Do not use a damaged

removable cooking bowl.
Replace before using.

• Do not place food or liquid

directly into the stainless
steel base. Only the
removable cooking bowl is
designed to contain food
or liquid.

• Never operate the cooker

without food and liquid
in the removable cooking
bowl. Ensure the removable
cooking bowl is filled to the

1

level 2 mark or

⁄3 full of food

and/or liquid.

• Always ensure there is

enough liquid in the
removable cooking bowl
when steaming. At least
4 cups (1 litre) of liquid is
required when steaming.

BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST

• 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 foods 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.

• Do not touch the pressure

release valve whilst in use.

• Use only recommended

STEAM RELEASE to
depressurise cooker after use.

• Do not use this appliance for

deep frying.

• Do not sauté or shallow fry

under pressure.

• Do not use harsh abrasives,

caustic cleaners or oven
cleaners when cleaning this
appliance. Keep the appliance
clean and refer to care and
cleaning section.

• 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.
