Crock-Pot's Safety Precautions

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR YOUR MULTI
COOKER.
• Do not plug in or switch on the unit without
having the cooking pan inside the unit.
• Do not operate the unit on an inclined surface
• Use your unit well away from walls and
curtains, and don't use in confined spaces.
• Check the pressure and steam release valve
before use, and if clogged clean as necessary.
• Do not operate the unit without food or
liquid in the cooking pan. Never exceed the
maximum markings on the inside of the
cooking pan, or maximum and minimum
quantities stated in the recipes provided.
Some foods expand during cooking, and it
may result in developing excess pressure.
• Place the unit so that the pressure and steam
release valve is positioned away from the
body.
• Ensure the lid is locked before use. Brown/
Sear and Sauté functions do not require the
lid to be used.
• Never use any lid except the lid provided with
your Express Crock.
• Never place any part of the body including
face, hands and arm over the Steam Release
Valve. Steam can result in serious burns.
• Do not move or cover the unit whilst in
operation
• Do not touch any metal surfaces of the unit
while it is in use as they will be hot.
• After pressure cooking, do not open the
lid until the internal pressure has been
released. If the lid will not turn to unlock,
this is because there is pressure inside the
unit. Do not force the lid open.
• This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
