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/
Sauté function does 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.
• Do not cook more than 4 cups of dried
beans/legumes with 8 cups of water.
Cooking with more beans or water may
result in the build up of excess pressure.
Leave for ten minutes after cooking before
releasing the pressure valve.
• 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 unit.
• The pressure cooker operates under
pressure. Incorrect use may result in injury.
• Use handles and oven mitts to move the unit,
the cooking pan and the lid when hot.
• Unplug the unit when not in use and before
cleaning. Allow the unit to cool before putting
on or taking off parts to clean.
• Certain foods are not suited for pressure
cooking as they can foam, froth, splatter and
clog the pressure and steam release valve.
Noodles, macaroni, spaghetti, cranberry,
apple sauce, rhubarb, split peas, pearl barley,
oatmeal and other cereals should not be
cooked with pressure cook mode.
• Do not immerse the base of the unit in water
or any other liquid.
• Do not use the cooking pan for food storage
or place in the freezer.
• To prevent damage to the unit do not use
alkaline cleaning agents when cleaning, use a
soft cloth and a mild detergent.
• Do not operate the unit when placed directly
onto a bench top. Place a heat proof mat or
chopping board underneath to protect the
surface.
• Avoid spillage on the connector.
• The heating element surface is subject to
residual heating after use.
• Misuse may potentially cause injury or
physical damage to the user.
