IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
a) Use only after reading and understand-
ing the manual.
b) It's important to follow this instruction
manual.
Supervision is necessary when using the
pressure cooker. It's important to adjust
the fire or heat lower after the pressure
valve pops up. This keeps the pressure
cooker under controlled heat and pressure
for a while.
c) Be very careful when moving the pres-
sure cooker when in use.
d) Don’t touch the metal surface. Use the
handles and take protection if necessary.
e) The pressure cooker can only be used as
instructed on this manual, and not for any
other purpose.
f) This appliance cooks under pressure.
Improper use may result in scalding injury.
Make sure the pressure cooker closes cor-
rectly before using.
g) Don’t attempt to open the pressure
cooker while cooking. Make sure to open it
only after the pressure is released. Do not
heat the pressure cooker when it's empty
too, as it will damage the appliance.
h) Make sure to use less than 2/3 of the
cooker’s capacity for cooking food. When
cooking food that expands, such as rice or
dry vegetable, make sure to use less that
1/4 of the pressure cookers capacity.
i) Do not place the pressure cooker or
attempt to pressure cook in an oven.
j) Cooking food with skin (such as ox
tongue), will expand because of pressure
after cooking. Don't attempt to cut it while
it's cooking to avoid scalding.
k) When cooking soft food, shake the pres-
sure cooker slightly before opening to
avoid the food from spraying out.
l) Check if the pressure valve is blocked
before using.
m) Don’t fry food in the pressure cooker
n) Don’t deviate from maintenance speci-
fied in manual. Don’t change any safety
system by yourself.
o) Only use matching spare parts provided
by manufacturer.
p) Please keep this manual.
1. The pressure cooker is a family cookware
and can’t be used for any other purposes.
Children and persons who don’t know how
to use it are suggested not to use.
Supervision is necessary when using the
pressure cooker.
2. Under the pressure limit, the boiling point
of liquid is below 248°F (120°C). A lot of
steam and soup juice will come out when
boiling and especially when the pressure is
reducing fast.
3. Don’t cook expansive food such as apple-
sauce, pearl rice, seaweed, oatmeal, etc. to
avoid blocking the steam-releasing hole.
4. Keep the pressure-limiting valve, sealing
ring, opening button, lid and pot clean and
greaseless before and after using.
5. The pressure cooker should be used on a
steady stove. Don’t put the pressure cooker
on an electric stove that has a cooking plate
that's bigger in diameter than the cooker’s
bottom. When cooking on a gas oven, the
fire should not reach the cooker’s wall (Fig.
2). The pressure cooker is applicable to a
gas stove, induction stove, and gas oven.
6. Don’t point the safety valve window to
the user or to the area where person often
walk about.
7. If steam sprays out from safety valve or
the sealing ring is squeezed out from the
safety valve window, switch off heat imme-
diately. The problem must be found out and
solved before using again.
8. Be very carefully when moving the pres-
sure cooker with pressure. Carry it horizon-
tally and lay it down gently. Do not let the
appliance bump.
9. Don’t open the cooker when there is pres-
sure inside. Don’t cook when the lid is not
closed well.
10. Don’t store salt, soy sauce, alkali, sugar,
vinegar, or steam water inside the cooker
for a long time. Clean and dry it every time
after using.
11. Don’t heat water off in the pressure cook-
er. Not use for frying or baking food.
12. Allowed volume of food inside the pres-
sure cooker.
Less than 2/3 of the cooker height for non-
