DO NOT

 touch hot surfaces. 

Appliance surfaces are hot 

during and after operation. To 

prevent burns or personal injury, 

ALWAYS

 use protective hot pads 

or insulated oven mitts and use 

available handles and knobs.

35  

Extreme caution must be used 

when the cooker contains hot 

oil, hot food, or hot liquids, or 

if the cooker is under pressure. 

Improper use, including moving 

the cooker, may result in personal 

injury. When using this appliance 

to pressure cook, ensure the lid is 

properly assembled and locked 

into position before use. Food are 

under extreme pressure during 

pressure cooking. Failure to 

follow all instructions regarding 

proper usage of the product may 

result in unintended contact with 

hot foods or liquids that have 

been pressurized, resulting in 

serious burns.

36  

Caution should be used when 

searing meats and sautéing. Keep 

hands and face away from the 

removable cooking pot, especially 

when adding new ingredients, as 

hot oil may splatter.

37  

When unit is in operation, hot 

steam is released through the air 

exhaust vent. Place unit so vent 

is not directed toward the power 

cord, sockets, cabinets or other 

appliances. Keep your hands and 

face at a safe distance from vent.

38  

DO NOT

 tamper with, 

disassemble, or otherwise 

remove the float valve or 

pressure release assembly. 

39  

DO NOT

 attempt to open the 

lid during or after pressure 

cooking until all internal pressure 

has been released through 

the pressure release valve and 

the unit has cooled slightly. 

Remove lid promptly to avoid re-

pressurisation of the inner pot. 

40  

DO NOT

 use Pressure Lid when 

Sear/Sauté function is selected. 

41  

When using SLOW COOK 

ALWAYS

 keep the pressure lid 

closed and the pressure release 

valve in the VENT position. If the 

lid is closed and the pressure 

release valve is in the SEAL 

position, an audible alarm will 

sound. “VENT” error code will 

appear on LED display to signal 

the need to turn the pressure 

release valve to the VENT position.

42  

When using the PRESSURE 

COOK setting, 

ALWAYS

 keep 

the pressure lid locked and the 

pressure release valve turned 

anticlockwise to the SEAL 

position.

43  

If the lid will not turn to unlock, 

this indicates the appliance is 

still under pressure. 

DO NOT

 

intentionally press down on float 

valve. Any pressure remaining can 

be hazardous. Let unit naturally 

release pressure or turn the 

Pressure Release Valve slowly to 

the VENT position to release steam. 

Take care to avoid contact with the 

releasing steam to avoid burns or 

injury.  When steam is completely 

released the float valve will be in 

the lower position allowing the lid 

to be removed. If steam does not 

release when the pressure release 

valve is moved to vent, unplug the 

unit from the wall and let the unit 

naturally release pressure.

44  

Spilled food can cause serious 

burns. Keep appliance and cord 

away from children. 

DO NOT

 let 

cord hang over edge of tables or 

counters or touch hot surfaces.

45 

 

Serious burns can result from the 

steam and hot foods inside the 

inner pot. 

ALWAYS

 keep hands, 

face, and other body parts away 

from the pressure release valve 

prior to or during pressure release 

and when removing the pressure 

lid after cooking.

46  

When removing the lid, DO NOT 

lift the lid straight up as this may 

not release the seal between the 

lid and pot, increasing the risk of 

food splashing.  

47  

ALWAYS

 tilt the lid so that it is 

between your body and the inner 

pot so that you can be shielded 

from steam and hot liquids.

48  

The cooking pot, Cook & Crisp™ 

Basket or Plate, and reversible 

rack become extremely hot 

during the cooking process. Avoid 

hot steam and air while removing 

the cooking pot and Cook & 

Crisp™ Basket or Plate from the 

appliance, and 

ALWAYS

 place 

them on a heat resistant surface 

after removing. 

DO NOT

 touch 

accessories during or immediately 

after cooking.

49    

Removable cooking pot can be 

extremely heavy when full of 

ingredients. Care should be taken 

when lifting pot from cooker base.

50  

Cleaning and user maintenance 

shall not be made by children.

51  

Let the appliance cool for 

approximately 30 minutes before 

handling, cleaning, or storing.

52  

To disconnect, turn any control 

to "off", then unplug from socket 

when not in use and before 

cleaning.  Allow to cool before 

cleaning, disassembly, putting 

in or taking off parts and for 

storage.

53   DO  NOT

 clean with metal 

scouring pads. Pieces can break 

off the pad and touch electrical 

parts, creating a risk of electric 

shock.

54  

Please refer to the Cleaning & 

Maintenance section for regular 

maintenance of the appliance.
