The following must always be observed for safety
•
Extreme care must be taken when this unit is under pressure. It cooks under
pressure. Make sure the unit is properly sealed prior to operation. Do not
attempt to open the cooker lid until all pressure has been released from the
unit, and the contents have been allowed to cool slightly.
•
Always use heat protection and keep hands, face, and other body parts away
from the pressure release valve when venting. Ensure it’s not directed towards
the power cord, power outlet, other appliances, walls, or cabinets. Always keep
adequate space around the unit during operation.
•
If the cooker lid will not unlock, this indicates that it is still under pressure,
and you must not attempt to force it to unlock. Doing so can be extremely
hazardous. Turn the pressure release valve to the “vent” position, using heat
protection and avoiding contact with the released high temperature steam.
When the steam is completely released, the float valve will move to the lower
position, allowing the cooker lid to be removed safely.
•
When you remove the cooker lid, additional high temperature steam may
escape. Always use heat protection and keep your hands, face and other body
parts away from the unit. Always lift and tilt the cooker lid away from you.
•
Spilled food can cause serious burns. Keep the unit and power cord away
from children. This unit is not intended to be used by children and close adult
supervision is required if using in the vicinity of children. Never drape the
power cord over the edge of a counter, plug into a low-lying power outlet or
use an extension lead. Doing so could cause a tripping hazard or allow the
unit or its power source to come into reach or children or animals, all posing a
spillage hazard.
