outlet.
15. Don’t use the unit for other than the intended purpose.
16. Cook only in the inner pot to reduce the risk of electric shock.
17. This unit cooks under high pressure. Improper use may result in
scalding injury.
18. Don’t exceed the max line marked in the inner pot.
19. It is not recommended to cook food such as applesauce, cranberries,
pearl barley, oatmeal or other cereals, split peas, noodles, macaroni,
rhubarb or spaghetti which are tend to foam, froth, and sputter, that
may block the steam release device. Handle with care when using
any of these ingredients.
20. Always check the steam release devices for clogging before use.
Always make sure that the Steam Release Handle is installed properly
before use, incorrect assembly may prevent the pressure cooker
building up pressure or allow steam to come out from rim of the lid.
21. Don’t use the unit to pressure fry with oil.
22. Don’t open the pressure cooker until it has cooled off and all pressure
inside the pot has been released. If the Float Valve is still up or the lid
is difficult to open, it is an indication that the cooker is still pressurized,
don’t force it open.
23. Never force the pressure cooker open to avoid pressure built up in the
cooker to cause hazard. Follow the instructions in the “Pressure
03/04
Release” section. If you follow the quick pressure release method,
protect your skin from any contact with escaping steam. Once all the
pressure has been released, remove the lid with care, keep it away
from you to avoid skin contact with the remaining heat or steam.
24. This unit generates heat and escaping steam during use. All
necessary precautions should be followed to avoid fire, burns, or
other personal injury during its operation. Never use or place the unit
near flammable materials such as dishtowels, paper plates, napkins,

rating of the longer cord is at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance, and if care is taken to arrange the longer cord so that it will
not drape over the counter top or table where it can be pulled by
children or tripped over accidentally.
Precautions
1. Before use each time, make sure to check the anti-block shield, float
valve, and Steam Release Handle for obstructions; wipe the surface of
the inner pot and heating plate to confirm they are free of any foreign
object, and make sure the Steam Release Handle is in the sealing
location.
2. After cooking, wait until the cooker cools down for a while and release
the pressure by the Steam Release Handle. Pay special attention when
removing the lid to avoid serious burns resulting from steam inside the
unit.
3. Stop using the appliance if any malfunction occurs including
breakage of the cable or plug and consult the troubleshooting and
warranty sections.
4. Insert the plug into the socket firmly to avoid incomplete insertion
causing electric shock or short circuit.
