41.
The ducts in the pressure regulator allowing the escape of steam
should be checked regularly to ensure that they are not blocked.
42. WARNING!
Avoid spillage on the connector.
43. WARNING!
Misuse may lead to injury. Use this appliance solely in
accordance with these instructions.
44. WARNING!
The heating element surface is subject to residual heat
after use.
45.
Do not let children near the pressure cooker when in use.
46.
Take care if moving the pressure cooker when it is pressurised. Steam
may suddenly be emitted from the release valve. Do not touch hot
surfaces. Use the handles and knobs. If necessary, use protection.
47.
After cooking meat with a skin (e.g. sausages), which may swell under
the effect of pressure, do not prick the meat while the skin is swollen
as the steam emitted could cause scalding.
48.
When cooking doughy food, gently shake the cooker before opening
the lid to avoid food ejection.
49.
Use the appropriate heat source(s) according to the instructions for
use.
50.
Do not tamper with any of the safety systems beyond the
maintenance instructions.
51.
Only use manufacturer’s spare parts in accordance with the relevant
model. In particular, never use a body and a lid from a compatible
manufacturer.

Important safety reminders
Never force open the lid - this indicates the cooker is still pressurised.
Always use a kitchen utensil to open the steam release valve, and keep
all body parts away from the valve as it may be hot, and hot steam will
be emitted.
Use the natural pressure release method for foods with skin (e.g.
sausages or chicken), recipes with high liquid levels, and high starch
foods such as rice, porridge oats and pasta.
We recommend wearing an apron and oven gloves to protect from any
hot food splashes or steam when releasing steam using the valve, or
when opening the lid.
