PROFESSIONAL COLLECTION STAINLESS STEEL PRESSURE COOKER INSTRUCTION BOOKLET CPC22 For your safety and continued enjoyment of this product, always read the instruction book carefully before using.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY When using a pressure cooker, basic safety precautions should always be taken, including the following: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS prior to use and refer back to this user’s guide when needed. Do not touch hot surfaces of pressure cooker.
We recommend keeping the box and packing materials for use at a later date. Before using your Cuisinart Professional Collection Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker for the first time, make sure that the Pressure Release Valve is properly inserted within the Pressure Regulator.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Using the Pressure Cooker 1. Inspect lid to make sure it was properly cleaned. Any dirt or grease left on the lid from previous use will alter the Pressure Release Valve. 2. Make sure to always have a timer ready for use. 3.
Essential precautions – For browning, sautéing, and searing, we recommend using a low to medium ® setting for most foods. To boil water, medium-high is sufficient. Never leave Cuisinart Cookware or any pan empty over a hot burner. Doing so can ruin the pan and cause damage to the stovetop.
What about metal utensils? We recommend using plastic or wooden utensils with your Cuisinart ® Professional Collection Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker. You may prefer using metal utensils. These may scratch the cooking surface, but will in no way impair the performance of your Cuisinart ® Professional Collection Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker.
