IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using pressure cookers, basic safety precautions should always be followed:
01. Read all instructions.
02. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
03. Close supervision is necessary when the pressure cooker is used near children.
04. Do not place the pressure cooker in a heated oven.
05. Extreme caution must be used when moving a pressure cooker containing hot liquids.
06. Do not use pressure cooker for other than intended use.
07. This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding injury. Make certain unit is
properly closed before operating.
08. Do not fill the unit over 2/3 full. When cooking foods that expand during cooking such as rice or dried
vegetables, do not fill the unit over 1/2 full. Over filling may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and
developing excess pressure.
09. Be aware that certain foods, such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or other cereals,
split peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, or spaghetti can foam, froth, and sputter, and clog the
pressure release device (steam vent). These foods should not be cooked in a pressure cooker.
10. Always check the pressure release devices for clogging before use.
11. Do not open the 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.
12. Do not use pressure cooker for pressure frying with oil.
13. When the normal operating pressure is reached, turn the heat down so all the liquid, which creates
the steam, does not evaporate.
14. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
