IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Caution
12. Do not make unauthorized replacement of any spare part inside the pressure cooker, as this may cause electric shock, fire or injury.
13. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
14. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
15. Caution: to reduce the risk of electric shock, cook only in the provided removable container (cooking pot).
16. Before use each time, be sure to check the anti-block shield, float valve and steam release handle/valve for obstruction, wipe the surface of the inner pot and the heating plate to
confirm they are free of any foreign objects. Make sure the steam release handle is in sealing position.
17. Always check the pressure release devices for clogging before use. Do not cover the pressure valves.
18. Please soak the dry foods before cooking them in the product.
19. Be aware that certain food, such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or other cereals, split peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, or spaghetti can foam, froth, and sputter, and clog the pressure release device. These foods should only be cooked in a pressure cooker with caution with the inner pot never more than l/2 full and using natural release.
20. Do not fill the unit over MAX level (2/3 full). When cooking foods that expand during cooking such as rice or dried vegetables, do not fill the unit over l/2 full.
