Important Safeguards

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

When using pressure cookers, basic safety precautions should always be followed.

1)Do not touch hot surfaces of pressure cooker. Use side handles for carrying.

2)Do not place the cooker on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.

3)Intended for countertop use only.

4)Do not use pressure cooker for anything other than intended use.

5)Never deep fry or pressure fry in the cooker with oil.

6)Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

7)Do not use cooker in electrical systems other than 110-120V~/60Hz for North America.

8)Do not operate cooker with damaged cord or plug, or after the cooker malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.

9)Do not open the cooker until the cooker has cooled and all internal pressure has been released. If the float valve is still up or the lid is di cult to turn, it is an indication that the cooker is still pressurized - do not force it open.

Please see “Getting Started” pages 12 - 14.

10)For all pressure cooking programs, the total amount of pre-cooked food and liquid in the inner pot should not pass the 2/3 line. When cooking food that expands during cooking such as rice, beans or vegetables, food should not pass the 1/2 line.

Overfilling may risk clogging the steam release valve resulting in excess pressure. This may also cause leakage, personal injuries, or damage to the cooker. These fill

level warnings do not apply to non-pressure cooking programs.
