IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Do not leave appliance unattended where pets or children may come into
contact with the pot or when using the Saute program.
The total amount of pre-cooked food and liquid in the Removable Inner
Pot should not be over 2/3rds full. When cooking food that expands such
as rice, beans or dried vegetables, only fill up to 1/2 of the pot. Overfilling
may clog the Steam.
Certain foods such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal and
other cereals, split peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, and spaghetti can
foam, froth, sputter, and clog the Steam Release handle. These foods
should not be cooked under pressure cooking settings.
The Lid should be properly closed and locked in place before cooking
with any pressure settings.
Never cover or block the Pot, Steam Release Valve, or Float Valve while
it is in use to prevent serious accidents from over pressurization or
overheating.
Use extreme caution when removing the Lid. Do not open the cooker
until the cooker has cooled and all internal pressure has been released.
If the Float Valve is still up or the Lid is difficult to turn, it is an indication
that the cooker is still pressurized - do not force it open.
Never move the pressure cooker when in operation.
Do not lift and carry the unit with Lid handle, use side handles only.
Only use wood or plastic ladles or spoons to prevent the Removable Inner
Pot from wearing out or being scratched.
Please use caution when placing your Removable Inner Pot on ceramic,
stone, wooden, or other natural material tables/surfaces.
Some counter-top and table surfaces are not designed to withstand
prolonged heat generated by such appliances. Do not set the heated
pressure cooker on a finished wood table.
For safety, a shorter power supply cord (2-3 ft) is provided to reduce
the risk of entanglement and tripping. Do not drape cord over edge of
counter. Do not use with an extension cord. This appliance has a 3-prong
plug with grounding. To reduce the risk of electric shock, plug the power
cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
Unauthorized modifications or adjustments to the product are not
allowed. All repairs should be carried out by the manufacturer or an
authorized service repair center. Please contact Customer Support for
repair inquiries.
Allow the appliance to cool before adjusting or removing parts. Only
use manufacturer authorized parts and replacements. Other parts may
damage the appliance or cause serious injury.
Follow general cleaning and maintenance guidelines when caring for the
unit.
Do not immerse the cooker base in water. To protect against electrical
shock, do not immerse the cord, power plug, or cooker in any liquid.
To disconnect turn settings to "Off", then remove plug from wall outlet.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Do not pull
power cord to disconnect from the outlet; instead, grasp the plug and
pull to disconnect.
Store unit in a cool, dry location.
During initial use, you may notice some smoke and/or a slight odor.
