IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:

Read all instructions.

1. This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding injury. Make certain unit is
properly closed before operating. See “Operating Instructions.”

2. Never 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 above the halfway point (1/2 full). Over filling may cause a risk of
clogging the vent pipe and developing excess pressure.

3. Be aware that certain foods, such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or other cereals, split
peas, noodles, macaronis, rhubarb, or spaghetti can foam, froth, and sputter, and clog the pressure release
device (steam vent). These foods should only be cooked in a pressure cooker with caution with the inner
pot never more then1/2 full and using natural release.

4. Always check the pressure release devices for clogging before use. Do not cover the pressure valves.

5. Do not open the pressure cooker until the unit has cooled and all internal pressure has been released. If
the handles are difficult to push apart, this indicates the cooker is still pressurized— Do not force open it.
Any pressure in the cooker can be hazardous.

6. Caution: to reduce the risk of electric shock, cook only in the provided removable container (cooking pot).

7. Be sure that the handles are assembled and fastened properly before each use. Cracked, broken, or
charred handles should be replaced.

8. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs. Do not place hands or face over the exhaust valve or
float valve to avoid scald when the unit is in operation.

9. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquid.

10. Close supervision is necessary when the pressure cooker is used by or near children.

11. Always unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off
parts, and before cleaning.

12. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been
damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the service center for examination repair or adjustments. See
Warranty.

13. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.

14. Do not use outdoors. For household use only.

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

16. Do not place the unit on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.

17. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.

18. Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to
“OFF” then remove plug from wall outlet.

19. Do not make unauthorized replacement of any spare parts inside the pressure cooker, as this may cause
electric shock, fire, or injury.

20. DO NOT operate the unit on an unstable surface. Never operate the unit on or near flammable objects
such as newspaper or paper plates.

21. DO NOT operate the unit near water, oil, or fire. DO NOT expose the unit to direct sunlight. Keep out of
reach of children.

22. Before use each time, be sure to check the anti-block shield, float valve and exhaust valve for obstruction,

2

wipe the surface of the inner pot and the heating plate to confirm they are free of any foreign object; make
sure the exhaust valve is in sealing location.

23. A short power supply cord should be provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use. If an extension
cord is used, the electrical rating of the cord must be at least 20 amps and 120 volts. The extension cord
should be a grounding type 3-wire cord and must be arranged so not to drape over edge of table or counter
where it can be pulled by children or tripped over accidentally. This appliance has a fitted plug. Do not
attempt to modify the plug in any way.

24. Helpful Hint: Please soak the dry foods before cooking them in this product.

25. DO NOT move this product or force to remove the lid when the unit is in operation.

26. After cooking, use extreme caution when removing the lid. Always open the lid away from you to avoid skin
contact with any heat or steam. Serious burns can result from steam inside the unit.

27. When opening the lid after cooking, do not touch the inner pot and cover inside with hands directly to avoid
scalding.

28. WARNING: Never deep fry or pressure fry in the unit. It is dangerous and may cause fire or serious
damage.

29. Anyone who has not fully understood all operating and safety instructions in this manual is not qualified to
operate or clean the pressure cooker.

30. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge. Unless supervised by a person responsible for
their safety.

31. Do not use pressure cooker for other than intended use.
