SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following:

1.	Read all instructions.
2.	Do not touch hot surfaces of pressure
	cooker. Use handles only.
3.	Close supervision is necessary when
	the pressure cooker is used near
	children. It is not intended for use by
	children.
4.	NEVER ATTEMPT TO OPEN LID
	WHILE THE UNIT IS OPERATING.
	Do not open the pressure cooker until
	the unit has cooled and all internal
	pressure has been released. If lid is
	difficult to rotate, this indicates that
	the cooker is still pressurized. Do not
	force it to open. Any pressure in the
	cooker can be hazardous. See
	Operating Instructions, page 5.

12.	Do not operate any appliance with a
	damaged cord or plug or after the
	appliance malfunctions or has been
	damaged in any manner.
13.	Do not let cord hang over edge of
	table or counter, or touch hot
	surfaces.
14.	Use of accessories not specifically
	recommended by Cuisinart may
	cause damage to unit.
15.	Do not use outdoors.
16.	Do not use under hanging cabinets;
	steam from pressure release may
	cause damage.
17.	Always attach plug to appliance first,
	before plugging into wall outlet. To
	disconnect, turn control to “off”, then
	remove plug from outlet.
18.	Be aware that certain foods, such as
	applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley,
	oatmeal and other cereals, split peas,
	noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, or
	spaghetti can foam, froth and sputter,

If a long extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

9.	Do not fill unit over 3⁄5 full. When
	cooking foods that expand during
	cooking, such as dried vegetables,
	legumes, beans, and grains, do not fill
	the unit over ½ full. Overfilling may
	cause a risk of clogging the pressure
	limit valve and developing excess
