IM P O RTA N T SA F E GU A R D S
When using electrical appliances, 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 before using this product.
2. This appliance cooks under pressure when using pressure cooking functions.
Improper use may result in scalding injury. Make certain unit is properly closed
before operating. See Operating Instructions.
3. This appliance generates heat during use. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use
handles or knobs.
4. Do not fill the unit over maximum fill line at 2/3 full. When cooking foods that
expand during cooking such as rice, beans, potatoes or dried vegetables, do not
fill the unit beyond the recommended level at 1/2 full. Over filling may cause a
risk of clogging the valves and developing excess pressure. Follow all cooking
and recipe instructions.
5. Always check the pressure release devices for clogging before use. Clean as
necessary.
6. Place the Cooker so that the Steam Release Valve is positioned away from the
body.
7. Never place any part of the body, including face, hands, and arms over the
Steam Release Valve or any other area of the lid. Steam can result in serious
burns.
CAUTION: When in the "Seal"
released from the Steam Release Valve on the Lid to regulate the proper
amount of pressure for cooking.
NOTE: steam release from the lid rim may occur during pressurization.
8. Do not operate the Cooker without food or liquid in the Cooking Pot.
9. To prevent risk of injury due to excessive pressure, replace Lid Sealing Gasket
only as recommended by the manufacturer. See Care and Cleaning instructions.
10. Do not use the Lid to carry the Cooker.
11. Do not move or cover the Cooker while it is in operation.
12. After pressure cooking, do not open the Cooker until the unit has cooled,
all internal pressure has been released, and the Bobber Valve has dropped
completely. If the Lid is difficult to remove, this indicates that the cooker is
still pressurized - do not force it open. Any pressure in the Cooker can be
hazardous. See RELEASING PRESSURE instructions (pages 13-14).
13. Be careful when lifting and removing Lid after cooking. Always tilt the Lid away
from you as steam is hot and can result in serious burns. Never place face over
the Cooker.
14. Do not use this Cooker for pressure frying with oil.
15. To protect against electric shock, do not place or immerse cord, plugs, or
appliance in water or other liquid.
