• 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.
• Always cook in the removable cooking pot of the unit. Cooking without the
removable cooking pot may cause an electric shock or damage to the unit.
• Never deep fry or pressure fry in the cooker. It is dangerous and may cause a
fire and serious damage.
• Never cover or block the pressure valve with anything. This may cause over
pressurizing and lead to serious accidents.
• While you're cooking, the lid and the outer stainless steel surface of the cooker
might get hot. Handle with care and carry or move the cooker using only the
side handles. Be very cautious when moving any appliance containing hot food
or liquids.
• Keep hands and face away from pressure regulator knob when releasing
pressure from the cooker to avoid being scalded by hot steam.
• After cooking, use extreme caution when removing the lid. Serious burns can
result from residual steam escaping from inside the unit. Lift the lid facing
away from you and allow the drops of water to trickle back from the lid into the
cooker.
• Always unplug and let cool before cleaning and removing parts. Never attempt
to unplug the unit by pulling on the power cable. Keep unplugged when not in
use.
• To reduce the risk of an electric shock, never immerse the plug, power cable
or housing in water or any other liquid. Only the removable cooking pot can be
placed in the dishwasher.
• Only qualified experts may repair and perform maintenance work on the unit
using authentic ZAVOR replacement and accessory parts. Never attempt to
dissemble and repair the unit yourself.
• This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding
injury. Make certain unit is properly closed before operating. See "Pressure
Cooker Program".
• Do not fill the unit over 2/3 full. When cooking with foods that expand such as
rice or dried vegetables, do not fill the removable cooking pot more than 1/2
full. Over filling may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and you will not have
enough room for proper building of pressure.
• The following foods tend to foam, froth and/or sputter: applesauce, cranberries,
pearl barley, oatmeal, split peas, noodles/pasta or rhubarb. These items may
block the pressure valve if filled too high in the removable cooking pot. Please
be sure when pressure cooking these items to not fill the removable cooking
pot more than half way.
• Always check the pressure release devices for clogging before use.
