touch hot surfaces. Use handle and pot holders when necessary.
• To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or the unit in water
or other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when any unit is used by or near children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow it to cool before
putting on or taking off parts.
•
DO NOT
operate the pressure cooker with a damaged cord or plug, after the unit
malfunctions or if it has been damaged in any manner. If the unit is malfunctioning,
please contact customer support.
• Using other accessories that are not compatible with the pressure cooker is not
recommended. Doing so may damage the unit or cause injury.
• The pressure cooker is intended for indoor use only.
•
DO NOT
place on or near a hot gas or electric burner and/or in a heated oven.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving the pressure cooker with hot oil or
other hot liquids inside.
• To disconnect the unit from a power source, press
‘Start/Cancel’
, then remove the
plug from the outlet.
• Always check the pressure release valve and float valve for any clogging before use.
•
DO NOT
place any object above the pressure release valve while the steam is being
released from the pressure cooker.
•
DO NOT
use the unit for anything other than its intended use.
• If you cook meat with a casing, such as sausage, swelling can occur when cooked
under pressure. Piercing the skin after cooking can lead to bursts of hot liquid.
•
DO NOT
lean over the pressure cooker at any time while it is cooking.
• This pressure cooker should not be used for any medical purposes. It is not
designed to reach the required temperature for sterilization.
• The silicone gasket creates a pressure seal between the lid and the pot. Keep the
gasket completely clean and free from any cracks or deterioration.
•
DO NOT
break the silicone gasket. Do not replace it with other rubber gaskets, or
use a tension belt to make it seal.
• It is extremely important to fill the pressure cooker with liquid prior to operation.
Never cook without liquid; doing so can cause the unit to overheat and damage the
safety mechanisms. In case of overheating, never remove the pressure cooker from
the heat source. Instead, shut it off immediately and let it cool.
• Make sure all parts of the pressure release valve and float valve are clean and
properly assembled.
•
DO NOT
alter the safety mechanisms or attempt to repair the pressure cooker as
this will void the warranty. Please refer to the
Care & Maintenance
section on page
16 on how to maintain the pressure cooker.
•
DO NOT
place the unit close to flammable materials, heating units, or wet
environments.
