SAFETY INFORMATION

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS: Please read, understand, and comply with all of the instructions

provided in this manual before using the device. Failure to comply with the instructions given in this manual
and/or using the device in ways other than the ones mentioned in this manual may result in serious injury
and/or damage to the product.

Safety Use & Care

• This product is for household use only. Do not use outdoors.

• DO NOT use the pressure cooker for other than the intended use.

• To cancel any mode on the pressure cooker, press ‘Keep Warm/Cancel’. To turn off the pressure cooker,
unplug the power cable.

• DO NOT place the pressure cooker on or near hot gasses, electric burners or a heated oven.

• DO NOT operate the pressure cooker near water or fire or leave under direct sunlight.

• Keep out of reach of children. Keep close supervision when using near children.

• DO NOT operate the pressure cooker on an unstable table surface. Never operate the pressure cooker
on or near flammable materials such as newspaper or paper plates.

• DO NOT operate near walls, furniture, plants, or areas exposed to oil splatter.

• Keep the pressure cooker away from potential electrical shock. Do not immerse any electrical component
in water or other liquids.

• Make sure the lid is properly fastened before each use. Do not operate the pressure cooker if the lid
appears to be cracked, broken or bent.

• DO NOT operate the pressure cooker if the cord or plug appear to be damaged. Do not operate the
pressure cooker if the device malfunctions during normal operation. Return appliance to the nearest
authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.

• DO NOT attempt to replace any parts on the pressure cooker as it may cause shock, fire or serious injury.

• DO NOT let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter or touch hot surfaces.

• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, cook only in the provided inner pot. Do not attempt to replace the
container or substitute it with another container.

• Always check the pressure anti-block shield, lid lock, and heating plate for any damage or clogging before
each use.

• Be aware that certain foods such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or other cereals, split
peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, spaghetti, and froth may clog the anti-block shield. When cooking these
foods, make sure to only fill the pressure cooker’s inner pot with no more than 3 liters of contents (do not
completely fill).

• Keep all parts of the pressure cooker clean after each use in order to prolong and maintain the
appliance’s service life.

• DO NOT fill the unit over 2/3 full. When cooking foods that expand during cooking such as rice or dried
vegetables, do not fill the unit over ½ full. Overfilling may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and
developing excess pressure.

• This device cooks with high pressures. Improper use may result in serious burning or scalding.

• DO NOT use the pressure cooker to deep fry or pressure fry foods with oil. Doing so may cause a fire
and/or serious injury.

• DO NOT move the pressure cooker or remove the lid while in operation.

• Use extreme caution when moving the pressure cooker when containing hot liquid or contents.

• DO NOT place your hands or face over the anti-block shield while the pressure cooker is in operation.

3

• After cooking, use extreme caution when removing the lid. Always open the lid away from you to avoid
skin contact with any heat or steam.

• When opening the lid after cooking, do not directly touch the inner pot with your hand(s). Doing so may
cause harmful burning or scalding.

• DO NOT open the cooker’s lid until the cooker has completely cooled and all the internal pressure has
been released. If the handles are too difficult to push apart, an indication light will turn on, indicating that
the cooker still contains pressure. Please wait for the light to turn off to open the device.

• DO NOT use the pressure cooker to store food or oil.

• DO NOT use abrasive detergents or scouring pads to remove burnt food. Soak the inner pot in warm,
soapy water, then remove excess food with a regular sponge.

• DO NOT touch the pressure cooker’s stainless steel surface while it’s cooking or heating.

• Operate only with a standard 120V US socket.

• DO NOT place foreign objects (such as any type of metal or plastic) in the pressure cooker. The pressure
cooker is intended only for food.

• DO NOT attempt to repair or modify the internal components or pieces in any way. Doing so may void
your warranty.

• DO NOT immerse or sprinkle with water or other liquids.

• DO NOT attempt to unplug the pressure cooker with wet hands. Do not unplug by forcefully pulling on
the cable.

• DO NOT exceed the max food level when filling the inner pot.

• Always unplug the cooker from the outlet when not in use, before removing parts, or cleaning. Allow it to
cool off before removing parts or cleaning.

• The use of accessory attachments is not recommended, as this may cause injuries.

• A short power supply cord is provided to reduce injuries resulting from entanglement and tripping. An
extension cord may be used if proper care is exercised. If an extension cord is used, the electrical rating
of the cord must be at least 20 A and 120 V. The extension cord must be arranged so that it will not drape
over the edge of a table or counter where it can be pulled by children or accidentally tripped over.

• DO NOT attempt to modify the fitted plug in any way.

• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the
plug in any way.
