• NEVER FILL THE UNIT
above the MAX LINE in the Inner
Pot. When using foods that expand during cooking such
as rice or dried beans, follow the recipe for “pressure
cooking” those products, and as a rule of thumb, do not
fill the unit above the “halfway” point. Overfilling may
cause clogging, allowing excess pressure to develop.

cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or other cereals,
split peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, and spaghetti,
can foam, froth, sputter, and clog the pressure release
device (steam vent). Recipes using these items must be
followed carefully to avoid problems.
• ALWAYS CHECK
the pressure release devices for clogs
before use.
• DO NOT OPEN
the Power Pressure Cooker XL until
the unit has cooled and all internal pressure has been
released. If the unit is difficult to open, this indicates
that the cooker is still pressurized – do not force it
open. Any pressure in the cooker can be hazardous.
See Instructions For Use.
