SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Be aware that expandable foods such as apple sauce,
cranberries, pearl barley and oatmeal can foam, froth, sputter
and even clog the pressure release device.
Substances such as baking soda, too much vegetable oil and
alcohol can not be cooked in the Pressure cooker.
After cooking meat with a skin (e.g. ox tongue) which may swell
under the effect of pressure, do not prick the meat while the
skin is swollen; this may cause scalding injuries.
When cooking doughy foods, gently shake the cooker before
opening the lid to avoid food ejection.
The pressure cooker should only be used on a heat source in a
stable position.
Flames must not exceed the pressure cooker walls. Use a small
flame that is central to the base of the pressure cooker.
Always follow the Maximum and Minimum quantities of liquid
stated in these instructions and marked in the pressure cooker.
Always allow the Pressure Cooker to cool completely before
cleaning.
When the Pressure Cooker is under pressure, caution must be
taken of the steam ejected from the valves and vents. Do not
touch safety devices.
Do not open the pressure cooker until it has cooled and all
internal pressure has been released. If the handles are difficult
to part, this indicates that the cooker is still pressurized - do not
force it open. Any pressure in the cooker can be hazardous.

vegetables, do not fill the pressure cooker over ½ full to
accommodate expenditure.
