IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using pressure cookers, basic safety precautions should always be followed.
1.Read all instructions.
2.Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3.Close supervision is necessary when the pressure cooker is used near children.
4.Do not place the pressure cooker in a heated oven.
5.Extreme caution must be used when removing a pressure cooker containing hot liquids.
6.Do not use pressure cooker for other than intended use.
7.This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding injury. Make certain unit is properly closed before operating. See "Operating Instructions".
8.Do not fill the unit over 2/3 full. When cooking foods that expand during cooking such as rice or dried vegetables, do not fill the unit over 1/2 full. Over filling may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and developing excess pressure. When cooking these types of sticky food, do not cool it down by placing the pressure cooker under the tap and cooling with water. Doing so could cause some liquid to flow out of the pressure cooker, which could be hazardous. See "Food Preparation Instructions".
9.Do not cook foods such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or other cereals, split peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, or spaghetti. These foods tend to foam, froth and sputter, and clog the pressure release device (steam vent). These foods should not be cooked in a pressure cooker.
10.Always check the pressure release devices for clogging before use.
11.Do not open the pressure cooker until the unit has cooled and 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. See "Operating Instructions".
12.Do not use this pressure cooker for pressure frying oil.
13.When the normal operating pressure is reached, turn the heat down so all the liquid, which creates the steam, does not evaporate.

SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
•Please ensure children do not have access to, or be able to reach the pressure cooker while cooking.
•Never use the pressure cooker with a worn or torn gasket. Inspect the gasket before every use to make sure it is pliable and does not have any cracks or tears. Do not use the pressure cooker with a worn or damaged gasket. New gaskets can be purchased at www.lagostina.ca or call our customer satisfaction hotline number 1- 800-263-4067.
•To reduce the risk of burns or spills, the lid and pot handle should be positioned so that they are turned inward towards the back of the stove, and do not extend over adjacent surface units or overhang over the edge of the stove top.
•While cooking with the Lagostina pressure cooker, please make sure the safety window points towards the back of the stove and away from you. This will reduce the risk of burns in the event the safety window is triggered to release excess pressure.
•Before cooking, make sure the gasket is in good condition and in place, and that the pressure control valve is free of food particles that could clog it up.
•Make sure the pressure cooker has been properly closed before cooking. The handles should be aligned and the lid should glide easily back and forth. If the lid is not closed and locked securely in place, the pressure cooker will not build pressure.
•After releasing the pressure from the pressure cooker, open the lid towards the back of your stove since there may be some steam sill inside the cooker.
•Caution: Do not use the pressure cooker on outdoor gas burners or commercial stoves. This pressure cooker is for household use ONLY.
•Pressure cookers are not to be used for medical purposes, such as sterilizers, as pressure cookers are not designed to reach the temperatures necessary for complete sterilization.
•cooker.Do not allow anyone who is not familiar with the instructions to use this pressure

FEATURES OF YOUR LAGOSTINA PRESSURE COOKER
Pressure Cooker Pot: The robust 18/10 stainless steel body provides a non-porous, smooth cooking surface which is hygienic and will not interact with food.
Lid: Made of heavy-gauge stainless steel, the lid must be properly locked in position in order to build sufficient pressure for cooking. The triangular mark on top of the lid, located to the left of the long handle, allows you to easily align the lid to the cutout and corresponding triangular mark on top of the base handle when closing the pressure cooker.
