Getting the best from your new appliance...
Safety
Always keep hands and face away from Pressure Release
Valve, when venting pressure.
Use extreme caution when removing lid after cooking.
Always tilt the lid away from you, so any remaining steam is
blocked from your face.
Never attempt to open lid while cooking, or before pressure
has dropped.
Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature by forcing it.
Do not cover or block the valves.
Do not touch the pot or lid except for the handle immediately
after using.
To avoid burns, allow food to cool before tasting. The
temperature of the food gets considerably hotter than with
conventional cooking.
