Keeping Things Safe
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Please read, understand, and
comply with all 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.
General Safety
• DO NOT touch hot surfaces.
Use handle and pot holders
when necessary.
• Use extreme caution when
moving the pressure cooker if
it contains hot oil or other hot
liquids.
• To protect against electrical
shock, do not immerse cord,
plugs, or the unit in water or
other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary
when this appliance is used by or
near children.
• DO NOT place on or near a hot
gas or electric burner and/or in a
heated oven.
• DO NOT use the unit for
anything other than its intended
use.
• DO NOT alter the safety
mechanisms or attempt to
repair the pressure cooker as
this will void the warranty. Please
refer to the Care & Maintenance
section on page 26 on how to
properly maintain the pressure
cooker.
• DO NOT place the unit close to
4
ammable materials, heating
units, or wet environments.
• In case of overheating,
immediately turn o and unplug
the pressure cooker. DO NOT
attempt to move the pressure
cooker if it is overheating.
• DO NOT place any object above
the pressure release valve while
the steam is being released from
the pressure cooker.
• DO NOT lean over the pressure
cooker at any time while it is
cooking.
• This pressure cooker should
not be used for any medical
purposes. It is not designed to
reach the required temperature
for sterilization.
Use & Care Guidlelines
• DO NOT operate the
pressure cooker if the cord
or plug is damaged, if the unit
malfunctions, or if the unit has
been damaged in any manner. If
the unit is malfunctioning, please
contact customer support.
• Always check the pressure
release valve and oat valve for
any clogging before use.
• Make sure all parts of the
pressure release valve and oat
valve are clean and properly
assembled before each use.
• Using other accessories that are
not compatible with the pressure
cooker is not recommended.
Doing so may damage the unit
or cause injury and will void your
warranty.
• The pressure cooker is intended
for indoor use only.
• To disconnect the unit from
a power source, press ‘Stop/
Cancel’, then remove plug from
the outlet.
• It is extremely important to ll
the pressure cooker with liquid
prior to operation. Never cook
without liquid; doing so can
cause the unit to overheat and
damage the safety mechanisms.
• DO NOT place frozen meats or
sh into the pressure cooker;
always make sure meat and sh
are thawed before cooking.
• If you cook meat with a casing,
such as sausage, swelling can
occur when cooked under
pressure. Piercing the skin after
cooking can lead to bursts of hot
liquid.
• The silicone sealing ring creates
a pressure seal between the lid
and the pot. Keep the sealing
ring completely clean and free
from any cracks or deterioration.
• DO NOT break the silicone
sealing ring. Do not replace it
with other rubber sealing rings
or use a tension belt to make the
pressure cooker seal.
• Check and wash anti-clog lter
and pressure release valve
regularly to avoid any blockage.
• DO NOT attempt to open the lid
while the oat valve is still up.
• DO NOT put anything on or use
other objects to replace the
pressure release valve.
• Never use a towel to clog the
gap between the lid and edge of
the housing.
• The bottom of the inner pot and
heating plate should be kept
clean. Do not put the inner pot
on other heat sources. Do not
replace the inner pot with other
containers.
• DO NOT attempt to move
the pressure cooker while it is
cooking; wait until it cools down
to move it. Move the unit using
the built-in handles; do not try to
hold the pressure cooker from
the lid handle.
• DO NOT disassemble the unit
on your own or use replacement
parts from dierent brands.
• Make sure pressure completely
discharges after cooking has
nished and before opening the
lid.
• Clean and properly place the
water collection cup before each
use.
• You may experience some
smoke coming out the unit
during the rst few uses due
to the initial heating of the
materials; this is normal.
• Unplug the unit when not in use
and before cleaning. Allow it to
cool before putting on or taking
o parts.
• DO NOT let power cord hang
over the edges of tables or
counters, or touch hot surfaces
as it may present a tripping
hazard.
• A short power supply cord is
provided to reduce injuries
resulting from entanglement
and tripping. If an extension
cord is used, the electrical rating
of the cord must be at least
120V/20A. The extension cord
must be arranged so that it will
not hang over the edge of a
table or counter where it can be
5
pulled or accidentally tripped
over.
NOTE:
• This appliance has a three-
prong grounding plug. To
reduce the risk of electric
shock, this plug will only t one
way into a grounded electrical
outlet that is easily accessible.
DO NOT attempt to modify
the plug in anyway if it does
not t into the outlet.
