• Children shall not play with the appliance.
• Place the appliance on a flat stable, heatproof work
surface, away from any water splashes or any sources
of heat.
• Never place or use the appliance close to a wall or
below a wall cupboard as the steam produced by the
appliance can cause damage.
• Do not place your appliance near a heat source in
operation (hob, household appliance, etc.).
• Do not fill your appliance to more than the MAX
mark on the bowl. Do not fill it more than half full for
food that expands during cooking, such as rice, dried
vegetables. Reduce the volume of water to avoid the
risk of boiling over.
• When in operation, never leave the appliance
unattended.

food and water to avoid the risk of boiling over which
can damage your appliance and cause injury.
• Before using your appliance, check that the
manometric rod and the safety valve are clean
(see section Cleaning and maintenance).
• Do not place any foreign objects in the pressure
release system. Do not replace any of the safety
device yourself.
• When you open the lid, first unlock it by holding the
lid open/close handle. Then position your arms in
alignment with the side carrying handles, hold each
side lid handle with your hands and raise the lid.
• Be careful also about the risk of scalding from the
steam coming out of the appliance when you open
the lid. First open the lid very slightly to allow the
steam to escape gently.
• Never force the appliance open. Make sure that the
inside pressure has returned to normal. Do not open
the lid when the appliance is under pressure. To do so,
see page 50 «Problem & Solutions» section «The lid
does not open once the steam is released».
• Use only the appropriate spare parts for your model.
This is particularly important for the sealing gasket,
the cooking bowl and its safety devices.
• Do not damage the sealing gasket. If it is damaged,
have it replaced in an Approved Service Centre.
