• Do not open the pressure cooker until it has
cooled and all internal pressure has been
released. If the lid is difficult to open, it's an
indication that the unit is still under pressure
and should not be opened: do not force it
open. Any pressure in the cooker can be
hazardous. See Operating Instructions.
• NEVER FORCE OPEN the pressure cooker.
This could result in serious injury. If you need
to open the pressure cooker, press the stop
button
once, and using tongs or a kitchen
tool, carefully rotate the pressure release
valve to the RELEASE position. Once all
steam has escaped from the unit, carefully
open the lid by rotating counter-clockwise
and lifting straight up.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
This product is for household use only.
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce
the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent
removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt
to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should
be done only by authorized service personnel.
ELECTRICAL CORD
a) A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
b) Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
c) If an extension cord is used:
1) The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance;
2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord; and
3) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
Note: If the power cord is damaged, please contact the warranty department listed
in these instructions.
• Never fill the unit above the MAX LINE in the
cooking bowl. Overfilling may cause clogging,
allowing excess pressure to develop.
• To avoid scratching, do not cut foods directly
in the cooking bowl.
• Do not use this pressure cooker for pressure
frying with oil.
• To prevent risk of explosion and injury, replace
the rubber gasket as recommended by the
manufacturer. See Operating Instructions.
