IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Basic safety precautions should always be followed when using electrical appliances, including the following:
1. Important: Read all instructions carefully before first use.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the handles or knobs.
3. Use only on a level, dry and heat-resistant surface.
4. To protect against fire, electric shock and injury to persons, do not
immerse cord, plug or the appliance in water or any other liquid. See
instructions for cleaning.
5. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by or near
children.
6. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow unit
to cool before removing or replacing parts and before cleaning the
appliance.
7. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after
the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.
Contact Aroma customer service for examination, repair or
®
adjustment.
8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Aroma
Housewares may result in fire, electrical shock or injury.
9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not let cord touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of a counter
or table.
11. NEVER ATTEMPT TO OPEN LID WHILE THE UNIT IS
PRESSURE COOKING. Do not open the pressure cooker until the
unit has cooled and all internal pressure has been released. If lid is
difficult to turn, this indicates that the cooker is still pressurized. Do
not force it to open. Any pressure in the cooker can be hazardous.
12. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in
a heated oven.
13. Do not use the appliance for other than its intended use.
14. Always check the pressure release devices for clogging before use.
15. Do not touch, cover or obstruct the steam vent on the top of the
pressure cooker as it is extremely hot and may cause scalding.

16. Use only with a 120V AC power outlet.
17. Always unplug from the base of the wall outlet. Never pull on the cord.
18. The pressure cooker should be operated on a separate electrical circuit
from other operating appliances. If the electrical circuit is overloaded with
other appliances, the pressure cooker may not operate properly.
19. Always make sure the outside of the inner cooking pot is dry prior to use. If
the inner pot is returned to the cooker when wet, it may damage or cause
the product to malfunction.
20. Food should not be left in the inner cooking pot with the "Keep-Warm"
function on for more than 12 hours.
21. To disconnect, turn control to "OFF," then remove the plug from the wall
outlet.
22. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, cook only in the removable inner
cooking pot provided.
23. Extreme caution must be used when moving a pressure cooker containing
®
hot food or liquids.
24. For household use only.
25. This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding
injury. Make certain unit is properly closed before operating. Follow the
instructions in "Using the Start/Keep Warm" on page 7.
26. Do not fill the unit over 4/5 full. When cooking foods that expand during
cooking such as rice or dried vegetables, do not fill the unit over 3/5 full.
Over filling may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and developing
excess pressure. Follow the instructions in "To Pressure Cook" on page 7.
27. 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 vent). These foods should not be cooked in
the pressure cooker.
28. Do not use this pressure cooker for pressure frying with oil.
