Important Safeguards

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

When using pressure cookers, basic safety precautions should always be followed.

1) Do not touch hot surfaces of pressure cooker. Use side handles for carrying.

2) Do not place the cooker on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.

3) Intended for countertop use only.

4) Do not use pressure cooker for anything other than intended use.

5) Never deep fry or pressure fry in the cooker with oil.

6) Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

7) Do not use cooker in electrical systems other than 110-120V~/60Hz for North America.

8) Do not operate cooker with damaged cord or plug, or after the cooker malfunctions

or has been damaged in any manner.

9) Do not open the unit until the cooker has cooled and all internal pressure

has been released. If the ﬂoat valve is still up or the lid is diﬃcult to turn, it is an

indication that the cooker is still pressurized - do not force it open.

Please see “Getting Started” pages 12-14.

10) For all pressure cooking programs, the total amount of pre-cooked food and liquid in

the inner pot should not pass the 2/3 line. When cooking food that expands during

cooking such as rice, beans or vegetables, food should not pass the 1/2 line.

Overﬁlling may risk clogging the steam release resulting in excess pressure. This may also

cause leakage, personal injuries, or damage to the cooker. These ﬁll level warnings do not

apply to non-pressure cooking programs

Please read this manual carefully and retain for future reference.

Important Safeguards

11) Make sure the steam release handle is in the Sealing position during all pressure

cooking programs.

steam release).

Quick Release: Turn the steam release handle to the Venting position to let steam out

until the ﬂoat valve drops down. Never pull out the steam release handle while releasing

steam, as escaping steam is extremely hot and can cause scalding. When cooking food with

large liquid volume or starch content, immediately turn the steam release handle back to

the Sealing position at the ﬁrst sign of spattering. Quick Release should ALWAYS be closely

attended.

Do not place hand over steam release valve

Do not lean face over cooker when it is in operation or
