The pressure cooker cooks under pressure.
Although the pressure cooker is characterized by a level of quality
and safety, injury (by scalding) or material damage resulting from
misuse or improper use cannot be ruled out. For this reason, take
careful note of the safety instructions marked in red.
3. Safety
Read the operating instructions thoroughly before using your pressure cooker. Pay special
attention to the sections on testing, cleaning and caring for the safety devices. Please
carefully observe the safety instructions marked with a red triangle.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Always observe the following basic safety precautions when using your pressure
cooker
1. Read all the instructions.
2. Never touch hot surfaces. Only hold the pressure cooker by the lid handle and/or side
grips.
3. Close supervision is necessary when the pressure cooker is used near children.
4. Never place the pressure cooker in a heated oven.
5. Read section 4 before using the pressure cooker on a gas hob.
6. Always use extreme care when handling your pressure cooker, especially when it con
tains hot liquids.
7. Never use the pressure cooker for anything other than its intended purpose. (See sec
tion 2)
8. This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding injury. En
sure the cooker is properly closed before using it. (See section 7)
9. Do not fill the unit over two-thirds full. When cooking foods that expand during cooking,
such as rice or dried vegetables, do not fill the unit over one-half full. (See section 5)
10. This cooker is not suitable for the preparation of apple compote, cranberries, porridge
(oat flakes), barley or other cereals (except those listed on page 89), peas, pasta,
macaroni or rhubarb. These foods tend to foam and froth and could block the valve.
These foods should not be cooked in a pressure cooker.
11. Before each use, ensure that the movement of the pressure indicator in the valve is
unobstructed. (See section 6)
12. Do not open the pressure cooker until it has cooled and the internal pressure has re
duced. If the handles cannot be pushed apart, or can only be pushed apart with diffi
culty, this indicates that the cooker is still pressurized. Do not force the cooker open.
Any pressure in the cooker can be hazardous. (See section 9)
