This is a Listed appliance. The following Important Safeguards are recommended by most portable appliance manufacturers.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

To reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1.Read all instructions.

2.Be sure that handles are assembled and fastened properly before using this appliance (see pages 2 and 3). Cracked, broken or charred handles should be replaced.

3.Always check the vent pipe before use. Hold cover up to light and look through vent pipe to be certain it is clear.

4.Always check the air vent/cover lock to be sure it moves freely before use.

5.Do not fill pressure cooker over 2⁄3 full. For soup, grains, and dry beans and peas which expand during cooking, do not fill cooker over 1⁄2 full. Overfilling may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and developing excess pressure. See food preparation instructions.

6.Do not pressure cook applesauce, cranberries, rhubarb, cereals, pastas, dried soup mixes, or any dry beans and peas which are not listed on the chart on page 29. These foods tend to foam, froth, and sputter and may block the vent pipe, pressure relief valve, overpressure plug, and air vent/cover lock.

7.This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding injury. Make certain pressure cooker is properly closed before operating; cover handle must be directly above the body handle. See “How To Use Instructions.”

8.Do not place the pressure cooker or attempt to pressure cook in a heated oven.

9.Extreme caution must be used when moving a pressure cooker containing hot liquids. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

10.Do not open pressure cooker until the unit has cooled and all internal pressure has been released, air vent/cover lock has

dropped, and no steam escapes when the pressure regulator is removed. 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. See “How To Use Instructions.”

11.To ensure safe operation and satisfactory performance, replace the overpressure plug every time you replace the sealing ring or sooner if it becomes hard, deformed, cracked, worn, or pitted. It is recommended that the sealing ring and overpressure plug be replaced at least every two years.

12.Close supervision is necessary when the pressure cooker is used near children. It is not recommended that children use the pres- sure cooker.

13.When normal operating pressure is reached, the pressure regulator will begin to rock. Gradually lower the heat to maintain a slow, steady rocking motion. If the pressure regulator is allowed to rock vigorously excess steam will escape, liquid will be evaporated, and food may scorch.

14.Caution: Do not use pressure cooker on an outdoor LP gas burner or gas range over 12,000 BTU’s.

15.Do not use this pressure cooker for other than intended use.

16.Do not use this pressure cooker for pressure frying with oil.
