• Do not exceed maximum fi ll level.
Some foods expand during pressure
cooking such as rice, pulses and grains.
For these types of foods, do not fi ll
removable cooking bowl over level 8
mark. Over fi lling may cause a risk of
clogging pressure release valve and
pressure indicator valve and develop
excess pressure.
• Do not use a damaged removable
cooking bowl. Replace before using.
• Ensure that lid is properly closed before
operating. (see step 4 page 21).
• Do not use the appliance for other than
it’s intended use. Do not attempt to
operate the appliance by any method
other than those described in this book.
• Some foods to avoid when pressure
cooking are; apple sauce, cranberries,
pearl barley, oatmeal and other cereals,
noodles and pasta, and rhubarb; these
foods can foam, froth and splatter and
clog the pressure release valve and
pressure indicator valve.
• Removable cooking bowl can be
extremely heavy when full of ingredients,
care should be taken when lifting from
the appliance base.
• Always check pressure release valve and
pressure indicator valve for clogging
before use and clean if necessary. Check

moves freely from under the lid.
• Extreme caution must be used when
appliance contains hot food and liquids
and/or is under pressure. Improper use
may result in injury. When using this
appliance for any function except sauté,

before operating.
• Do not use the lid handle to carry
appliance when in use or after use.
• Do not attempt to open the appliance lid
after pressure cooking until all internal
pressure has been released and is slightly
cooled. If the lid will not turn to unlock,
this indicates that appliance is still under
pressure – do not force lid open. Any
pressure remaining can be hazardous.
See operating instructions for “steam
