IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

17. Be aware that certain food, such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or other
cereals, split peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, or spaghetti can foam, froth, sputter , and
clog the pressure release device. (steam vents). These foods should only be cooked in a
pressure cooker with caution with the inner pot never more than 1/2 full and using natural
release.

18. Never fill the unit over MAX level (2/3 full). When cooking foods that expand during cooking,
such as rice or dried vegetables, do not fill the unit above the halfway point. Overfilling may
cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and developing excess pressure. Please see
“Cooking Preparation”.

19. This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding injury. Be sure
unit is properly closed before operating. Please see “Cooking Preparation”.

20. Never deep fry or pressure fry in the unit with oil. It is dangerous and may cause a fire or
serious damage.

21. Do not move this product or force to remove the lid when the unit is in operation.

22. Extreme caution must be used when moving the unit containing hot oil or other hot liquids.

23. To avoid scalding, never place your hands or face over the exhuast/ float valves during use.

24. 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. Serious burns can result from stream inside the
unit.

25. When opening the lid after cooking, do not touch the inner pot.

26. Do not open the pressure cooker until the unit has cooled and all internal pressure has been
released. If the handles are difficult to push apart, this indicates that the cooker is still
pressurized-do not force it open. Any pressure in the cooker can be hazardous. Please see
“Cooking Preparation”.

27. To disconnect, turn the control setting off and remove from the wall outlet.

28. Always unplug from outlet when not in use, before removing parts and cleaning. Allow to cool
before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.

29. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement and
tripping. An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use. If an extension cord is
used, the electrical rating of the cord must be at least 20 amps and 120 volts. The extension
cord must be arranged so that it will not drape over edge of table or counter where it can be
pulled by children or tripped over accidentally. This appliance has a fitted plug. Do not attempt
to modify the plug in any way.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature,
this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat
this safety feature.
