When Using Your Pressure Cooker:

• Ensure that the appliance is resting on a at, heat resistant surface before use

• A minimum of four inches around the appliance should remain clear of all objects including walls, cupboards, curtains etc. while it is in operation. The lid should be clear of all objects as well.

• Always attach the cord to the appliance before inserting into the socket. To disconnect, ensure the appliance is set to the o position and then remove the cord from the wall socket.

• Never operate the appliance near any ammable objects.

• Cook only in the inner pot. Using the electrical base can result in electric shock.

• Make sure the lid is properly closed before operating. Improper use may result in scalding or other injuries.

• Always inspect the steam release valve to ensure it is clear of any clogging before use.

• Never open the lid before the product has cooled and all internal pressure has been released. Diculty rotating the lid indicates that contents are still under pressure – it should never be forced open. After all the steam is released the pressure will decline and the lid will be able to rotate with ease.

• Tilt the lid away from you when removing it, in order to better protect your hands and face from the excess steam.

• Do not ll above the FULL line located within the inner pot. When cooking foods that expand such as rice or dried vegetables, do not ll the inner pot more than half-way. Over-lling may result in a clogged vent pipe or excess pressure.

• Not all foods are compatible with a pressure cooker. Applesauce, cranberries, barley, oatmeal, cereals, split peas, pasta and rhubarb create foam which clogs the steam vent. They should not be used in a pressure cooker.

• Do not use oil to fry foods in this appliance.

• Paper, cardboard and plastic materials can never be placed within the appliance while it is in operation.

• Never pour cold water into a hot pressure cooker.

• Ensure that the appliance has completely cooled down before attaching or removing components, and before cleaning.

• Do not use the inner pot with any source of heat other than this unit. Do not replace the inner pot with any accessory not created specically for this unit.

• To ensure that it retains its quality and freshness, food should not be kept warm within this unit for more than 4 hours.

• Steam emitting from the circumference of the lid symbolizes a malfunction in the unit. Disconnect from its power supply and contact a local authorized repairman.
