Placing The Food - Oster 4801 Instruction Manual

1. Place the food into the inner pot. Do not fill the unit over the 2/3 marking. When
cooking foods that expand during cooking such as rice or dried vegetables, do not fill
the unit over ½ full.
NOTE: Never heat up an empty pot. DO NOT cook food below the min level. If there is
not enough food inside, the pressure will rise too fast during cooking, the
pressure may go beyond the normal setting or cause steam to escape through the
Steam Valve.
2. Always clean the bottom of the inner pot and heating plate before placing the inner pot
inside the unit. Make sure there is no foreign matter inside the unit. Make sure inner
pot sits directly on heating plate.
3. Before closing the lid, please ensure the Airproof Ring is its in place around the Inner
Cover and that the Inner Cover is in its place under the lid. Hold Lid Handle tightly and
place it on top of the unit turning it until it falls into place and it stops next to the lid
stop (please follow the diagrams illustrated below). Then turn Lid Handle counter
clockwise until it locks firmly as indicated below. Please note that in the locked position
the Lid Handle should be aligned with the unit side handles in the base.
