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

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

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

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

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

16. Be aware that certain foods, 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. (steam vents). These foods should only be cooked in a pressure cooker with caution with the inner pot never more than 1/2 full and using natural release.

17. 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. Over filling may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and developing excess pressure. Please see “Cooking Preparation”.

18. This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding injury. Make certain unit is properly closed before operating. Please see “Cooking Preparation”.

19. Never deep fry or pressure fry in the unit with oil. It is dangerous and may cause a fire or serious damage.

20. Do not move this product or force the lid open when the unit is in operation.

21. Extreme caution must be used when moving the unit containing hot oil or other hot liquids.

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

23. 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.

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

25. 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 that the cooker is still pressurized-do not force it open. Any pressure in the cooker can be hazardous. Please see “Cooking Preparation”.

26. To disconnect, turn any control to “off ” then remove plug from wall outlet.

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

28. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement and tripping. 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 must be arranged so that it will not 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.
