SAFEGUARDS

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

1.

Read all instructions.

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.
