IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Only use side handles for carrying or moving.
3.
CAUTION
Do not place the appliance on or in close proximity to a hot gas
or electric burner, or a heated oven; heat from an external source will damage
the appliance.
4.
CAUTION
Do not use near water or flame. Please keep out of direct sunlight.
5.
CAUTION
Extreme caution must be used when moving the appliance containing
hot liquids. Do not move the appliance when it is under pressure.
6. Do not use appliance for anything other than intended use.
7. For household use only. Do not use outdoors. Not for commercial use.
8. This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding injury. Make
certain the appliance is properly closed before operating. Refer to “Getting Started”.
9. Do not fill the appliance over 2/3 full. When cooking foods that expand during cooking
such as rice or dried vegetables, do not fill the appliance over 1/2 full. Overfilling may
cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and developing excess pressure. Refer to
“Pressure Cooking”.
10. Before each use, check the steam release valve/handle, steam release pipe, anti-block
shield and float valve for clogging. Refer to “Getting Started”.
11. Do not open the appliance until the appliance has depressurized and all internal
pressure has been released. If the float valve is still up and/or the lid is difficult to open,
this indicates that the appliance is still pressurized – do not force it open. Any pressure
in the appliance can be hazardous. Refer to “Venting Methods” for information on
releasing pressure.
12. Do not use this appliance for deep frying or pressure frying with oil.
13. Do not lean over or place your hands or face over the steam release valve/handle or
float valve when the appliance is in operation or has residual pressure. Do not touch
the metal portion of the lid when the appliance is in operation; this could result in injury.
14. Do not cover or obstruct the steam release valve/handle and float valve with cloth or
other objects. Obstructing the steam release valve/handle and float valve can create a
safety issue and may cause injury.
