open the lid when the product is under pressure.
To do so, see the Instructions for use.
• Use only the appropriate spare parts for your model. This is particularly important for the
sealing gasket, the cooking pot and the metal lid.
• Do not damage the sealing gasket. If it is damaged, have it replaced in an Approved Service
Centre.
• The heat source necessary for cooking is included in the appliance.
• Do not place the appliance in a heated oven or on a hot hob. Do not place the appliance close
to an open flame or a flammable object.
• Do not heat the cooking pot with any other heat source than the heating plate of the appliance
and do not use any other pot. Do not use the cooking pot with other appliances.
• Do not move the appliance when it is under pressure. Do not touch the hot surfaces. Use the
carrying handles when moving it and wear oven mitts, if necessary. Do not use the lid knob
to lift the appliance.
• Do not use appliance for other than the intended purpose.
• This appliance is not a steriliser. Do not use it to sterilise jars.
• The appliance cooks food under pressure. Incorrect use may cause risks of burns due to steam.
• Make sure that the appliance is properly closed before bringing it up to pressure (see
Instructions for use).
• Do not use the appliance empty, without its pot or without liquid inside the pot. This could
cause serious damage to the appliance.
• After cooking meat which has an outer layer of skin (such as ox tongue), which could swell due
to the effects of pressure, do not pierce the skin after cooking if it appears swollen: you could
get burnt. Pierce it before cooking.
• When cooking food with a thick texture (chick peas, rhubarb, compotes, etc.), shake the
appliance slightly before opening it to ensure that the food or cooking juices do not spurt out.
• Do not use the appliance to fry food in oil. Only browning is allowed.
• In browning mode, be careful of risks of burns caused by spattering when you add food or
ingredients into the hot pot.
• During cooking and automatic steam release at the end of cooking, the appliance releases heat
and steam. Keep your face and hands away from the appliance to avoid scalding. Do not touch
the lid during cooking.
• Do not use a cloth or anything else between the lid and the housing to leave the lid ajar. This
can permanently damage the gasket.
• Do not touch the safety devices, except while cleaning and maintaining the appliance in
accordance with the instructions given.
• Make sure that the bottom of the cooking pot and the heating element are always clean. Make
sure that the central part of the heating plate is mobile.
• Do not fill up your appliance without its cooking pot.
• Use a plastic or wooden spoon to prevent any damage to the non-stick coating of the pot. Do
not cut food directly in the cooking pot.
• If a great deal of steam is released from the rim of the lid, unplug the power cord at once and
check whether the appliance is clean. If necessary, send the appliance to an Approved Service
Centre for repair.
