FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

Electrical 3-conductor Cord Set: 

This 

Pressure Cooker is equipped with a 
3-conductor cord set that has a 3 prong 
grounding-type plug. It should be 
properly connected to a grounding-type 
outlet. The plug is designed to fit ONLY 
a 3-grounding outlet unit, and as such, 
the grounding prong should never be 
removed.  If needed, purchase a 2-prong 
adaptor and ground it to the outlet. 
Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt.  
Do not use an adaptor unless you are 
confident it is grounded.  Do not modify 
this plug. If the plug does not fit the 
outlet securely, call a qualified electrician 
for assistance.

23.  Use only factory cord supplied; NEVER add extension cords. When done 

using, first press Cancel Button, then pull plug from outlet.

24.  Prevent possible damage to countertops by placing the Pressure Cooker on 

a trivet or sturdy hot pad BEFORE heating.

25.  All parts and accessories for this appliance must be used properly according 

to the instructions. There is a potential risk of fire, electric shock or injury to 
persons if the product is not used as instructed.

26.  Do not cover or block the Pressure Release Valve or the Airtight/Exhaust 

Valve while using the Pressure Cooker.

27.  If any servicing of the Pressure Cooker, Inner Pot or accessories is required, 

contact the Gourmia customer service center for instructions. 

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Note:  This Pressure Cooker functions with a median pressure between 12-15psi.
