Important precautions

Page 18
Take the time to read all the instructions and refer to the "User's
guide".
As with any cooking appliance, supervise cooking closely if using the
X'press Cooker with children nearby.
Do not put your X'press Cooker into a hot oven.
When the X'press Cooker is under pressure, take great care when
moving it. Do not touch the hot surfaces. Use the handles on the pan.
Wear gloves if necessary.
Do not use your X'press Cooker for any use other than that for which
it is designed.
Your X'press Cooker cooks under pressure. Burns could result from
boiling over if not used properly. Make sure that the X'press Cooker
is properly closed before bringing it up to pressure.
Never force the X'press Cooker open. Make sure that the inside pres-
sure has returned to normal.
Never use your X'press Cooker without liquid: this could cause
serious damage.
Use compatible heat source(s).
Do not fill your X'press Cooker more than 2/3 full. For food that
expands during cooking, such as rice, dehydrated vegetables or ste-
wed fruit, do not fill the X'press Cooker more than halfway up the
side of the pan.
After cooking meat which has an outer layer of skin (such as ox
tongue), which could swell due to the effects of pressure, do not pier-
ce the skin after cooking if it appears swollen: you could get burnt.
Pierce it before cooking.
When cooking food with a thick texture (chick peas, rhubarb etc.) the
X'press Cooker should be shaken slightly before opening to ensure
that the food does not spurt out.
Always check that valves are clear before use.
Do not use the X'press Cooker to fry under pressure using oil.
Leave the safety systems alone, except for cleaning and maintenance
in accordance with instructions. In particular, never open the control
panel.
Use only the appropriate SEB/TEFAL spare parts for your model.
