ADDITIONAL SAFEGUARDS
1. If you cook meat with skin, such as sausage, swelling can occur when cooked under
pressure. Piercing skin after cooking can lead to bursts
of hot liquid.
2. Do not lean over the pressure cooker at any time while cooking.
3. The Silicone Gasket creates a pressure seal between the Lid and Base. Keep the
gasket completely clean and free of cracks or deterioration.
4. Fill the pressure cooker with liquid prior to use. Never cook without liquid.
5. Make sure all parts of the pressure regulator and ventilated pipe are clean.
6. Do not alter the safety mechanisms or attempt to repair pressure cooker as this
will void the warranty. Please adhere to the Maintenance Instructions and other
instructions contained in this manual.
7. Do not place near flammable materials, heating units, or wet environments.
8. Do not overfill the pressure cooker.
9. Clean the Food Blocking Cap and Pressure Release Valve regularly to prevent
clogging.
10. Do not attempt to open the Lid when the Floater Valve is raised.
11. Do not cover the Pressure Release Valve.
12. The bottom of the Inner Pot and heating plate should be kept clean.
Do not put the Inner Pot on other heat sources. Do not replace the
Inner Pot with other containers.
13. Use wood or plastic utensils to prevent damaging the Inner Pot’s
non-stick coating.
14. Do not move the pressure cooker while in use. Only after the pressure cooker cools
down completely should it be moved. Move the pressure cooker by using the Base
handles not the Lid handle.
15. Make sure pressure is fully released before attempting to open the Lid.
16.
It is normal for some smoke to escape the appliance during the first few uses. If the
pressure cooker continues emitting smoke please contact Customer Service.
