cooker and the red float valve retreats into the handle. Turn the handle counter clockwise.
Always open the lid away from you to avoid any excess heat and steam.
• DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TRY TO FORCE THE LID OFF UNTIL ALL
STEAM AND PRESSURE HAS BEEN RELEASED. ALWAYS OPEN THE LID WITH THE
OPENING FACING AWAY FROM YOU SO THAT ANY REMAINING STEAM MAY ESCAPE.

• The gasket must always be in place when using.
• Never operate the pressure cooker under pressure without any liquid inside the inner pot.
• Always make sure the red float valve is down before opening. Do not open the pressure cooker
until the pressure has been reduced and the floating piece drops.

before opening the lid.
• Always check pressure valve and vent nozzle for clogging before use.
• To avoid injury, do not touch heating element inside main housing unit at any time.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on
or taking off parts.

unit in water or any other liquid.
• If your pressure cooker is dropped, damaged in any way or dropped into water, have a qualified
appliance repair person check and repair it before using.
• Do not overfill unit. Special care should be taken for dried vegetables, beans etc. which expand
