and knowledge, unless they are under the supervision of a
responsible person or have been given proper instruction in using
the appliance. This appliance is not intended for use by children.
• Always be sure the oat valve is on correctly before use. Incorrect
assembly may prevent the cooker from building pressure or
allow steam to come out from the sides of the Lid (See page 7
for assembly).
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use Handles or knobs.
• To protect against electric shock do not immerse or rinse cords or
plugs in water or other liquid.
• This appliance should never be operated by children and special
care should be taken when the unit is in use in their presence.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to
cool before putting on or taking off parts.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after
the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.
Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for
examination, repair or adjustment.

heated oven.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance
containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
• Always attach plug to appliance rst, then plug cord into the wall
outlet. To disconnect, set any control to “Off,” then remove plug

• This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result
in scalding injury. Make certain unit is properly closed before
operating. See Instructions For Use.
• Never ll the unit above the MAX LINE in the Inner Pot (Illustration
#2, page 4). When using foods that expand during cooking such
as rice or dried beans, follow the recipe for “pressure cooking”
those products, and as a rule of thumb, do not ll the unit above
the “halfway” point. Overlling may cause clogging, allowing
excess pressure to develop. See Instructions For Use.
• Be aware that certain foods, such as applesauce, cranberries,
pearl barley, oatmeal or other cereals, split peas, noodles,
macaroni, rhubarb, and spaghetti, can foam, froth, sputter, and
clog the pressure release device (steam vent). Recipes using
these items must be followed carefully to avoid problems.
• Always check the pressure release devices for clogs before use.
• Do not open the Power Pressure Cooker XL until the unit has
cooled and all internal pressure has been released. If the unit is
difcult to open, this indicates that the cooker is still pressurized –
do not force it open. Any pressure in the cooker can be hazardous.
See Instructions For Use.
• Do not use this pressure cooker for pressure frying with oil.
• This appliance has been designed for use with a 3 prong, grounded,
120V electrical outlet only. Do not use any other electrical outlet.
• The Power Pressure Cooker XL generates extreme heat and steam
in its operation. All necessary precautions must be taken to avoid re,
burns and other personal injury during its operation.

• NEVER FORCE OPEN the Power Pressure Cooker XL. If you need
to open the Power Pressure Cooker XL, press the ”KEEP WARM/
CANCEL” button and using tongs or a kitchen tool carefully rotate
the Pressure Release Valve to the OPEN position (g. 4, page 4)
to fully release the building pressure inside the cooker. Make sure
that all the steam has dissipated from the cooker. Carefully turn
the Handle clockwise to open. Always open the Lid away from you
to avoid skin contact with any remaining heat or steam.
• CAUTION: TO REDUCE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, COOK
ONLY IN THE REMOVABLE CONTAINER. Do not immerse the
housing or base in water. Before use, clean the bottom of the
Inner Pot and the surface of the heater plate… insert the Inner
Pot, turning it slightly clockwise and counterclockwise until you
are sure it is sitting correctly on the heater plate. Failure to do so
will prevent proper operation and may cause damage to the unit.
