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 multi-cooker. 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 may 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. Open 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
electric multi-cooker using authentic FAGOR replacement and accessory
parts. Never attempt to disassemble and repair the multi-cooker yourself.
• This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding
injury. Make sure the unit is properly closed before operating. See "Pressure
Cooker Program".
• Do not fill the unit over 2/3 full. When cooking foods that expand, such as
rice or dried vegetables, do not fill the unit more than 1/2 full. Over filling
may result in clogging the vent pipe and will not allow enough room for
proper building of pressure. See "Operating Functions".
• The following foods tend to foam, froth and/or sputter: applesauce,
cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal, split peas, noodles/pasta, rhubarb, etc.
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.
