•
Please ensure children do not have access to, or be able to reach the pressure
cooker while cooking.
•
Never use the pressure cooker with a worn or torn gasket. Inspect the gasket before
every use to make sure it is pliable and does not have any cracks or tears. Do not
use the pressure cooker with a worn or damaged gasket. New gaskets can be
purchased at www.lagostina.ca or call our customer satisfaction hotline number 1-
800-263-4067.
•
To reduce the risk of burns or spills, the lid and pot handle should be positioned so
that they are turned inward towards the back of the stove, and do not extend over
adjacent surface units or overhang over the edge of the stove top.
•
While cooking with the Lagostina pressure cooker, please make sure the safety
window points towards the back of the stove and away from you. This will reduce
the risk of burns in the event the safety window is triggered to release excess
pressure.
•
Before cooking, make sure the gasket is in good condition and in place, and that
the pressure control valve is free of food particles that could clog it up.
•
Make sure the pressure cooker has been properly closed before cooking. The
handles should be aligned and the lid should glide easily back and forth. If the lid
is not closed and locked securely in place, the pressure cooker will not build
pressure.
•
After releasing the pressure from the pressure cooker, open the lid towards the
back of your stove since there may be some steam sill inside the cooker.
•
Caution: Do not use the pressure cooker on outdoor gas burners or commercial
stoves. This pressure cooker is for household use ONLY.
•
Pressure cookers are not to be used for medical purposes, such as sterilizers, as
pressure cookers are not designed to reach the temperatures necessary for complete
sterilization.
•
Do not allow anyone who is not familiar with the instructions to use this pressure
cooker.
