BASIC SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
» Use a suitable size hotplate or gas burner equal
to, or smaller than, the pan base. Overheating
may blacken the stainless steel or result in
brown or blue stains. These stains will disap-
pear with normal cleaning.
» Never use the pressure cooker without fi rst
adding water as this could seriously damage
your appliance.
» This appliance cooks food under high pressure.
Incorrect use may result in burns. Ensure that
the cooker is properly closed before heating.
See section “how to use the pressure cooker”.
» Never fi ll the pan to more than 2/3 of its capac-
ity. When cooking elements that expand, such
as rice and pulses, never fi ll the pan to more
than halfway.
» Before each use, check that the valves are not
obstructed. See section “maintenance”.
» Keep these instructions for future reference.
