food is cooked to the temperatures
recommended.
31
DO NOT
place the appliance near the
edge of a worktop during operation.
32
To avoid possible steam damage, place
the unit away from walls and cabinets
during use.
33
Should the unit emit black smoke,
unplug immediately and wait for

cooking pot and Cook & Crisp™ Basket
or Plate.
34
DO NOT
touch hot surfaces. Appliance
surfaces are hot during and after
operation. To prevent burns or personal
injury,
ALWAYS
use protective hot
pads or insulated oven mitts and use
available handles and knobs.
35
Extreme caution must be used when
the cooker contains hot food or hot
liquids and/or if the cooker is under
pressure. Improper use, including
moving the cooker, may result in
personal injury such as serious burns.
When using this appliance to pressure
cook, ensure the lid is properly
assembled and locked into position
before use. Food are under extreme
pressure during pressure cooking.
Failure to follow all instructions
regarding proper usage of the product
may result in unintended contact with
hot foods or liquids that have been
pressureized, resulting in serious burns.
36
Caution should be used when searing
meats and sautéing. Keep hands and
face away from the removable cooking
pot, especially when adding new
ingredients, as hot oil may splatter.
37
When unit is in operation, hot steam
is released through the air exhaust
vent. Place unit so vent is not directed
toward the power cord, electrical
outlets, cabinets or other appliances.
Keep your hands and face at a safe
distance from vent.
38
DO NOT
tamper with, disassemble, or
otherwise remove the float valve or
pressure release assembly.
39
DO NOT
attempt to open the lid
during or after pressure cooking until
all internal pressure has been released
through the pressure release valve and
the unit has cooled slightly. Remove lid
promptly to avoid re-pressurization of
the inner pot.
40
DO NOT
use Pressure Lid when
Sear/Sauté function is selected.
41
If using SLOW COOK setting,
ALWAYS
keep the pressure lid closed and the
pressure release valve in the VENT
position. If the lid is closed and the
pressure release valve is in the SEAL
position, an audible alarm will sound.
“VENT” error code will appear on LED
display to signal the need to turn the
pressure release valve to the VENT
position.
42
When using the PRESSURE COOK
setting,
ALWAYS
keep the pressure
lid locked and the pressure release
valve turned anticlockwise to the
SEAL position.
43
If the lid will not turn to unlock, this
indicates the appliance is still under
pressure.
DO NOT
intentionally press
down on float valve. Any pressure
remaining can be hazardous. Let unit
naturally release pressure or turn the
Pressure Release Valve slowly to the
VENT position to release steam. Take
care to avoid contact with the releasing
steam to avoid burns or injury. When
steam is completely released the float
valve will be in the lower position
allowing the lid to be removed. If steam
does not release when the pressure
release valve is moved to vent, unplug
the unit from the wall and let the unit
naturally release pressure.
44
Spilled food can cause serious burns.
Keep appliance and cord away from
children.
DO NOT
let cord hang over
edge of tables or counters or touch
hot surfaces.
45
Serious burns can result from the steam
and hot foods inside the inner pot.
ALWAYS
keep hands, face, and other
body parts away from the pressure
release valve prior to or during pressure
release and when removing the
pressure lid after cooking.
46
When removing the lid,
DO NOT
lift the
lid straight up as this may not release
the seal between the lid and pot,
increasing the risk of food splashing.
47
ALWAYS
tilt the lid so that it is between
your body and the inner pot so that
you can be shielded from steam and
hot liquids.
48
The cooking pot, Cook & Crisp™ Basket
or Plate, and reversible rack become
extremely hot during the cooking
process. Avoid hot steam and air while
removing the cooking pot and Cook
& Crisp™ Basket or Plate from the
