Read the instructions in the user manual.
− Be aware that certain foods, such as applesauce,
cranberries, pearl barley, or other cereals, split peas,
noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, or spaghetti can foam, froth,
and sputter, and clog the pressure release device (steam
vent). These foods should not be cooked in a pressure
cooker.
− Always check the pressure regulator and float valve for
clogging before use.
− NEVER ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE LID WHEN THE PRESSURE
COOKER IS UNDER PRESSURE. Do not open the pressure
cooker until the unit has cooled and all internal pressure
has been released. If the handles are difficult to push
apart, this indicates that the cooker is still pressurized –
do not force it open. Any pressure in the cooker can be
hazardous. Read the instructions in the user manual.
− Do not use this pressure cooker for pressure frying with oil.
− When the normal operating pressure is reached, turn the
heat down so all the liquid, which creates the steam, does
not evaporate.
WARNING!
Risk of electric shock!
A faulty electrical installation, excessive line voltage, or incorrect
operation may result in an electric shock.
− 3 PRONG PLUG: The pressure cooker comes equipped with
a 3 prong plug. It is recommended that you only plug this
into an outlet that accepts the 3 prongs and that you do
not try to defeat this feature as it is an important safety
feature that protects you from electric shock if a wire
comes loose.
− CAUTION: To ensure continued protection against risk of
electric shock, connect to properly grounded outlets only.
