6 Qt. Multi-Function Pressure Cooker
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using your multi-function pressure cooker, always follow basic precautions,
including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
1 Do not touch hot surfaces—use the handles.
2 To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse your cooker or cord in water
or other liquids.
3 Keep your cooker away from children to avoid accidents. Close supervision is
necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
4 Unplug from the wall outlet when not in use or before cleaning. Let it cool
before installing or removing parts and before cleaning.
5 Do not operate your cooker with a damaged cord or if your cooker has been
dropped or damaged. To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble
your cooker. Take it to a qualified serviceman for examination and repair.
Incorrect assembly might result in a risk of electric shock when your cooker is
used after reassembly.
6 Use of accessories not recommended by the manufacturer can cause injuries.
7 Do not use outdoors or in a damp area.
8 Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter, or touch hot
surfaces.
9 Do not place on or near a gas or electric burner or an oven. Never put your
whole cooker in a dishwasher (only the inner cooking pot is dishwasher safe).
10 Use extreme caution when moving your cooker if it contains hot oil or other
hot liquids.
11 To disconnect, turn off, then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
12 Only use your cooker for its intended purpose.
13 Your cooker is for household use only.
14 WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, cook only in the included
inner cooking pot.
15 Do not place your cooker on an unstable surface or on a surface that might
block the vent hole on the bottom, such as newspapers or foam.
16 Do not use your cooker in a location near water or fire, or in a place exposed to
direct sunlight or splashing oil.
17 WARNING: Spilled food can cause serious burns. Keep your cooker and
cord away from children. Never drape the cord over the edge of the counter,
never use a power outlet below the counter, and never use with an extension
cord.
18 Store your cooker in a place out of reach of children.
19 Do not use your cooker near appliances that generate magnetic fields.
20 Prior to each use, make sure that you check the anti-block shield, floating
valve, and pressure release valve for obstructions. Wipe the surface of the
inner cooking pot and the heating plate to confirm that they are free of any
foreign objects.

21 Do not use an extension cord with your cooker. The short power cord should
be used to reduce the risk resulting from the cord being grabbed by children,
of becoming entangled in, or tripping on a longer cord.
22 Make sure that you use the appropriate amount of liquid when cooking.
23 Do not fill your cooker over the maximum fill line at 2/3 full. When cooking
foods that expand during cooking, such as rice or dried vegetables, do not fill
your cooker beyond the recommended level at 1/2 full. Over filling can clog
the vent pipe and develop excess pressure. Please refer to “Filling with food”
on page 16.
24 Do not move your cooker or forcefully remove the cover when your cooker is
in operation.
25 Do not put your hands or face over the pressure release valve or float valve
when your cooker is in operation to avoid a serious burn.
26 After cooking, use extreme caution when removing the cover. Serious burns
can result from the steam inside your cooker.
27 When opening the cover after cooking, do not touch the inner cooking pot or
cover with your hands to avoid burns.
28 Do not cover the pressure release valve.
29 Never deep fry or pressure fry in your cooker. It is dangerous and can cause a
fire or serious damage.
30 Your cooker cooks under pressure. Incorrect use can result in scalding injuries.
Make sure that your cooker is correctly closed before operating. Please refer to
“Closing the lid” on page 14.
31 DO NOT OPEN YOUR COOKER UNTIL IT HAS COOLED AND ALL INTERNAL
PRESSURE HAS BEEN RELEASED. If the lid is difficult to open, that indicates that
your cooker is still pressurized. Do not force it open. Any pressure in your
cooker can be hazardous. Please refer to “Opening the lid” on page 15.
32 Make sure that the handles are assembled and fastened correctly before each
use. Cracked or damaged handles should be replaced.
33 Your cooker is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been supervised by a person responsible for
their safety.
34 Never use metal utensils with your cooker. Use plastic or wooden utensils to
protect the inner cooking pot from scratches.
35 Intended for countertop use only.
36 Always check the pressure release devices for clogging before use.
37 To prevent risk of explosion and injury, only replace the dynamic seal ring as
recommended by the manufacturer. Please refer to “Assembling your cooker”,
section 7, on page 11.
38 WARNING: Risk of Electric Shock. Cook only in removable container.

About the power cord
Your cooker 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.
