• After cooking meat which has an outer layer of skin (such as ox tongue),
which could swell due to the effects of pressure, do not pierce the skin
after cooking if it appears swollen: you could get burnt. Pierce it before
cooking.
• Please follow cooking suggestions in Recipe Books to cook food (such as
beans, noodle or dried food etc.) that expands during cooking. The food
may get stuck in the float valve and cause damage to the appliance and
stop the pressure from being released properly.
• Do not use the appliance to deep fry food in oil. Only saute/sear is
allowed.
• In saute/sear mode, be careful of risks of burns caused by spattering
when you add food or ingredients into the hot pot.
• During cooking and automatic steam release at the end of cooking,
the appliance releases heat and steam. Keep your face and hands
away from the appliance to avoid scalding. Do not touch the lid during
cooking.
• If a great deal of steam is released from the rim of the lid, unplug
the power cord at once and check whether the appliance is clean. If
necessary, send the appliance to an Approved Service Centre for repair.
• If pressure is released continuously through the valve of the appliance
(for more than 1 minute) while pressure cooking, send the appliance to
a service centre for repair.
