Take the time to read all the instructions and refer to the
"Instructions for use".
As with any cooking appliance, supervise cooking closely if using the
Pressure Cooker with children nearby or certain severely disabled persons.
Do not put your Pressure Cooker into a hot oven.
When the Pressure Cooker is under pressure, take great care when
moving it. Do not touch the hot surfaces. Use the handles and knobs,
and wear gloves if necessary. Never use the lid knob to carry your
pressure cooker.
Do not use your Pressure Cooker for any use other than that for which
it is designed.
Your Pressure Cooker cooks under pressure. Burns could result from
boiling over if not used properly. Make sure that the Pressure Cooker
is properly closed before bringing it up to pressure. (see Opening -
Closing).
Never force the Pressure Cooker open. Make sure that the inside
pressure has returned to normal.
Never use your Pressure Cooker without liquid: this could cause
serious damage.
Use compatible heat sources.
Do not fill your Pressure Cooker more than 2/3 full.
For food that expands considerably during cooking, such as rice,
dehydrated vegetables or compotes, ... do not fill the Pressure Cooker
more than half full.
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
pierce 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,
compotes, etc.) the Pressure Cooker should be shaken slightly before
opening to ensure that the food does not spurt out.
Always check that valves are clear before use. (see Cleaning and
Maintenance).
Do not use the Pressure Cooker to fry under pressure using oil.
Leave the safety systems alone, except for cleaning and maintenance
in accordance with instructions.
In particular, use only a Tefal parts to replace the body and lid.
Do not use your pressure cooker to store acidic or salty food before
and after cooking.
Make sure the pressure regulator valve is in the steam release position
before opening the lid.
Alcohol vapours are flammable. Watch your appliance when preparing
alcohol-based recipes.
Never place your pressure cooker with its handles folded back* on a
source of heat.
