IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage basic safety
precautions should always be followed
• Make sure to read and understand these instructions before using the pressure
cooker for the first time. Read all instructions and save these instructions for
future uses.
• Before using the pressure cooker for the first time wash the pot, the lid, the
rubber gasket and the valves.
• Always check the air vent/cover lock to be sure it moves freely before use.
• Always check the pressure release devices for clogging before use.
• Never use or place the pressure cooker in heated oven.
• Do not use pressure cooker for other than intended use.
• Close supervision is necessary when the pressure cooker is used near children.
• This product cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scaling injury. Make
sure that unit is properly closed before operation.
• Overfilling may cause clogging in the safety vent.
• Do not fill the unit over ²₃ full. When cooking foods that expand during cooking such
as rice or dried vegetables, do not fill the cooker over ½ full. Doing so will cause the
cooker to develop excessive pressure.
• Do not open pressure cooker until the unit has cooled and all internal pressure
has been released. If the handles are difficult to push apart, this indicates that the
cooker is still pressurized. Do not force it open. Any pressure in the cooker can be
hazardous. See “Operating Instructions.”
• When the normal operating pressure is reached, turn the heat down so all the liquid
which creates the steam, does not evaporate.
• During the cooking process, it is normal to occasionally hear a hissing sound from
the unit when the air pressure increases inside the pot. This noise is produced by the
excess pressure escaping the pot.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving a pressure cooker containing
hot liquids. Do not touch hot surfaces. Always use a pot holder and carry it by
the handles.
• Do not use this pressure cooker for frying with oil.
• Never leave the lid loose on the top of the cooker to maintain heat since it may still
generate pressure.
• Do not make any modifications to the cover, the body or to the pieces of the products.
• Do not leave prepared food in the pot. It is not a storage device.
• Change the rubber gasket of the pot when it is deteriorated.
• Never use your pressure cooker without liquids; this could cause serious damage.
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS & SAVE FOR FUTURE USE
