INSTRUCTIONS
©2019 National Presto Industries, Inc.
This is an
Listed appliance. The following important safeguards are recommended by most portable appliance manufacturers.
To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage when using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions. Improper use may result in bodily injury or property damage.
2. Before each use, check both the vent pipe (see Fig. A, page 3) and vent filter (see Fig. E, page 3) to be certain they are free of any
blockage. Remove the filter and clean any debris from both the vent pipe and filter (see cleaning instructions on page 8).
3. Always check the air vent/cover lock to be sure it moves freely before use.
4. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug, or cooker body in water or other liquid.
5. Do not let children handle or put electrical cords or plugs in their mouths.
6. Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, press cancel, then remove plug from wall
outlet.
7. Unplug cord from unit and outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow unit to cool before putting on or taking off parts and
before cleaning.
8. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or in the event the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in
any manner. Return the appliance to the Presto Factory Service Department for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical
adjustment.
9. WARNING! Spilled food can cause serious burns. Keep appliance and cord away from children. Never drape cord over edge of
counter or table. Never plug cord into outlet below counter or use an extension cord. Do not let cord touch hot surfaces.
10. To guard against electrical shock, cook only in the removable cooking pot provided.
11. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries. Use only genuine Presto
accessories and replacement parts.
12. Intended for countertop use only.
13. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
14. Do not fill above the ⅔ fill line. However, the cooking pot should never be filled above the ½ fill line when cooking foods that foam,
froth, or expand, such as rice, grains, dry beans, peas, and lentils, or foods that are mostly liquids, such as soups. Overfilling may
cause a risk of blocking the vent pipe and developing excess pressure. See food preparation instructions.
15. Do not pressure cook applesauce, cranberries, rhubarb, cereals, pasta, split peas, and soup mixes containing split peas, pasta, or grains.
These foods tend to foam, froth, and sputter and may block the vent pipe, vent filter, and air vent/cover lock.

12. I believe I am thoroughly cleaning my cooker, but sometimes I notice the odor of my last meal remains in the cooker. What can I do to remove the odor? The sealing ring is made of silicone. Silicone has many wonderful properties but it does tend to retain odors. Unfortunately, there is no good way to remove the odors, but over time they will dissipate. - Page 12 Tuscan Bean Soup 3 cups dry Great Northern beans Soak beans according to instructions on page 35. 2 tablespoons olive oil With cooking pot in cooker body, select the SAUTÉ function, press start, 2½ cups chopped onion and preheat cooker.
