• Extreme caution should be taken when moving the steam release handle to the
Venting
position. Keep hands and face away from the steam release openings. Failure
to comply may result in scalding or serious injury.
• Do not attempt to open the lid until pressure inside the cooker is completely released.
As a safety feature, until the float valve drops down the lid is locked and cannot be
opened.
Do not force lid open.
• When opening the lid, the inner pot may adhere to the lid. This is caused by vacuum
due to cooling. Make sure the steam release handle is in the
Venting
position and all
the steam is released.
• If the float valve is stuck, move the steam release handle to the
Venting
position. Once
all the steam is released, push the float valve down with a pen or long utensil.
• Always add at least 18 fl oz. / 500 ml of water or other liquids so enough steam can be
generated to cook under pressure. These include cooking sauces, wine, beer, stocks,
juices of fruits and vegetables. Oils, oil-based sauces and thick cooking sauces do not
have enough water content and will not account for the required liquid volume.
• Time to pressure and cooking time will vary according to the temperature and
quantity of the ingredients. Food that is cold or frozen will take longer to cook than food
that is at room temperature.
• When using the
Delay Start
program, allow sufficient cooling down time before serving.
• The
Delay Start
program is not recommended for porridge, oatmeal or other foamy
and thick liquids. Cooking progresses should be monitored when cooking these foods.
