Always use protective gloves such as oven mitts when removing accessories and
to handle the inner pot. Be careful when lifting the inner pot out when it is full as
it can be very heavy. Place hot accessories on a heat-resistant surface.
•
Do not fill the inner pot above the full marking. When cooking food that expands,
foams, froths or spits, such as rice, dried vegetables, beans, cranberries, oatmeal
and noodles, do not fill the inner pot more than halfway. Overfilling may cause injury
or damage. These foods may clog the steam release pipe and / or steam release
vent.
• Foods that cause foaming and frothing should not be cooked under pressure unless
instructions to the contrary are specifically stated in a recipe.
• When cooking meat with skin, such as sausages, the skin can expand when heated.
Do not pierce the skin while it is expanded as this could result in a scalding injury.
• When pressure cooking foods that are doughy, have a thick texture or high fat /
oil content, they may splatter when opening the lid. Carefully follow the recipe
instructions for how to safely release the pressure.
• Before cooking with pressure make sure that the lid is closed and locked. Never use
a lid from another pressure cooker.
• To avoid damaging or scratching the inner pot, use only wooden or plastic utensils.
•
WARNING
To avoid the risk of fire and injury, do not use this appliance for deep
frying or pressure frying with oil.
• To avoid the risk of overheating and injury, never cover the steam release vent or the
float valve.
•
WARNING
To prevent burns and other injuries, always use caution when
removing the lid. Never open the cooker until all pressure has been released and
it has cooled down. If the float valve is raised or if it is difficult to open the lid, this
indicates that pressure has not been released. Never force it open. When opening
the lid, lift it facing away from yourself and allow any water drops to trickle into the
pot.
• The inner pot may stick to the lid when the lid is opened. This will happen when
a vacuum seal has formed. To release the seal, turn the steam release vent to the
venting position.
•
If the float valve becomes stuck, turn the steam release vent to the venting position.
After the steam has been released, push down the float valve using a utensil since
it may be hot.
• Never move the appliance while it is operating. If the appliance contains hot food or
liquid, be very careful when moving it.
