IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using appliance.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against fire, electric shock and injury to persons, do not immerse
cord, plugs, or Pressure Cooker Housing in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near
children. This appliance is not for use by children.
5. Unplug appliance from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.
Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning
the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions, or has been dropped or damaged in any
manner. Contact Consumer Service.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch
hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. To disconnect, press the START/STOP Button until the Red STOP Light
illuminates and the Pressure Cooker beeps. Then remove plug from
wall outlet.
12. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
13. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing
hot oil or other hot liquids.
14. Oversized foods, metal foil packages, or utensils must not be inserted
in the appliance, as they may involve a risk of fire or electric shock.
15. A fire may occur if the appliance is covered or touching flammable
material, including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when
in operation.
16. Do not attempt to dislodge food when appliance is plugged in.
17. Do not fill the unit above the MAX Fill Line. When cooking foods that
expand during cooking such as rice or dried vegetables, do not fill the
unit over 1/2 full. See “Cooking With Your Pressure Cooker.”
18. Do not cook foods such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley,
oatmeal or other cereals, split peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, or
spaghetti. These foods tend to foam, froth and sputter, and may block
the Steam Release Valve.

Removable Cooking Pot.
