IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances especially when children are present, basic safety
precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or
injury to persons, including the following:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use any handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not place cord, plug or appliance in water or
other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children.
5. Do not leave appliance unattended while in use.
6. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning or storing. Allow to cool
before cleaning and putting on or removing parts.
7. Do not operate any electrical appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after
appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Return
appliance to nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer
may result in fire, electrical shock or injury.
9. Do not use outdoors or for commercial purposes.
10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
11. Do not place appliance on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven
or microwave.
12. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other
hot liquids.
13. Always attach plug to appliance first then plug the cord into the wall outlet. To
disconnect, turn any control off then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
14. Do not use the appliance for other than its intended use.
15. CAUTION-Risk of electric shock. Cook only in removable container.
16. This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding or other
injury. Make certain product is properly closed before operating. See "Operating
Instructions" and "Using the Pressure Cooker".
17. Do not fill above the MAX line of the inner pot. See image B under "Operating
Instructions". When cooking foods that expand when cooking such as rice or dried
vegetables, do not fill over ½ full. Over filling may cause a risk of clogging the vent
pipe and developing excess pressure.
18. 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 a pressure cooker
19. Always check the pressure release devices for clogging before use.
20. Do not open the pressure cooker until the product has cooled and all internal
pressure has been released. If the lid is difficult to rotate, this indicates that the
cooker is still pressurized – do not force it open. Any pressure in the cooker can be
hazardous. See "Operating Instructions" and "Using the Pressure Cooker".
21. Do not use this pressure cooker for pressure frying with oil.
22. FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
