When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be observed, including the following:
1. Do not place near flammable material, always use in a well-ventilated area.
2. Do not damage the sealing ring or use other types of rubber ring to replace the sealing ring. If the ring
shows signs of wear, please contact Sunpentown for replacement.

this indicates the cooker is still pressurized. Do not force it to open - this can result in a serious accident.

ELECTRIC PRESSURE
Pressure cooking is cooking in a sealed vessel that does not permit steam to escape
below a preset pressure. The boiling point of water is increased when pressure
increases, this pressure build-up in the cooker allows the liquid inside to rise to a higher
temperature before boiling.
The heating process is controlled by a built-in micro-processor based on the readings of
the pressure and temperature sensors. This process forms what is called “closed loop
control system”. The user simply sets the cooking duration and the electric pressure
cooker does the rest.
