not recommended for use by children.
5. Unplug appliance when not in use, before putting on, removing parts or before cleaning.

7. Do not place appliance on or near a hot gas, electric burner or oven.
8. Use of accessory attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire,
electrical shock or injury to persons.
9. Do not use outdoors or for other than intended use.
10. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or touch hot surfaces.
11. Operate appliance only when all parts are fully engaged and secured.
12. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, cook only in the removable cooking pot.
13. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
14. Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect,
turn any control to “off” then remove plug from wall outlet.
15. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
16. WARNING: Never deep fry or pressure fry in this appliance. It is dangerous and may
cause damage or serious injury.
17. Keep hands and face away from pressure regulator valve when releasing pressure.
18. Do not cover appliance or use near flammable material, such as draperies or walls.
19. Do not fill pot over 4/5 full. When cooking foods that expand during cooking such as
rice or dried vegetables, do not fill the unit over 3/5 full. Failure to follow this procedure
can result in injury to person(s) and/or damage to the unit.
20. Be aware that certain foods, such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or
other cereals, split peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, or spaghetti can foam, froth, and
sputter, and clog the pressure release device (steam vent). These foods should not be
cooked in a pressure cooker.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Polarized Plug:
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce risk of electric shock, plug is intended to fit into polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not try to modify the plug in any way.
Short Cord Instructions
: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if
care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of
the cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord
should be arranged so that it will not drape over the tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over unintentionally.
