safety precautions should always be
followed including the following:
1. Read all instructions.

cooker. Use handles only.
3. This appliance should not be used
by or near children or individuals with
certain disabilities.
4.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO OPEN LID
WHILE THE UNIT IS OPERATING.
Do not open the pressure cooker until
the unit has cooled and all internal
pressure has been released. If lid is
difficult to rotate, this indicates that
the cooker is still pressurized. Do not
force it to open. Any pressure in the
cooker can be hazardous. See
Operating Instructions, page 5.
5. Do not place the pressure cooker in a
heated oven or on any stovetop.
6. Extreme caution must be used when
moving a pressure cooker containing
hot liquids or foods.
7. Do not use the pressure cooker for
other than intended use.
8. This appliance cooks under pressure.
Improper use may result in scalding
injury. Make certain unit is properly
closed before operating. See
Operating Instructions, page 5.
9.
Do not fill unit over
3
⁄
5
full. When cooking
foods that expand during cooking, such
as dried vegetables, legumes, beans,
and grains, do not fill the unit over ½
full. Overfilling may cause a risk of
clogging the pressure limit valve and
developing excess pressure.
10. To protect against electrical shock,
do not immerse cord, plugs, or outer
vessel in water or other liquids.

recommended by Cuisinart may
cause damage to unit.
15. Do not use outdoors.
