• Do not use a cloth or anything else between the lid and the housing to
leave the lid ajar. This can permanently damage the gasket.
• Do not touch the safety devices, except while cleaning and maintaining
the appliance in accordance with the instructions given.
• Make sure that the bottom of the cooking pot and the heating element
are always clean. Make sure that the central part of the heating plate
is mobile.
• Do not fill up your appliance without its cooking pot.
• Use a plastic or wooden spoon to prevent any damage to the non-stick
coating of the pot. Do not cut food directly in the cooking pot.
• 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.
• Do not carry the appliance by holding it by the lid knob. Wear oven mitts
if the appliance is hot. For more safety, make sure that the lid is locked
before transporting the appliance.
• 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.
• Do not use a damaged appliance. Take it to your approved service
centre.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
• Use only spare parts sold in an approved service centre.
• The warranty does not cover the abnormal wear and tear of the cooking
pot.
• Read these instructions for use carefully before using your appliance for
the first time. Any use which does not conform to these instructions will
absolve the manufacturer from any liability and void the warranty.
• In accordance with current regulations, before disposing of an appliance
no longer needed, the appliance must be rendered inoperative (by
unplugging it and cutting off the supply cord).
Environment protection first!
Your appliance contains valuable materials which can be
recovered or recycled.
Leave it at a local civic waste collection point.
