3. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
4. Close supervision is necessary when the pressure cooker is used near children.
5. DO NOT allow children to operate under any circumstance.
6. Do not place the pressure cooker in a heated oven.
7. Extreme caution must be used when moving a pressure cooker containing hot
liquids.
8. Do not use pressure cooker for other than intended use.
9. Never immerse product in water or other liquids.
10. This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding
injury.
11. Make certain unit is properly closed before operating. See” Operating
Instructions”.
12. Do not fill the unit over 2/3 full. When cooking foods that expand during
cooking, such as rice or dried vegetables, do not fill the unit over 1/2 full. Over
-
filling may increase the risk of clogging the vent pipe resulting in excessive
pressure in unit. Failure to follow this procedure can result in injury to person(s)
and/or damage to the unit.

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.
