When using pressure cookers, basic safety precautions should always be followed:
1.Read all instructions.
2.Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3.Close supervision is necessary when the pressure cooker
is used near children.
4.Do not place the pressure cooker in a heated oven.
5.Extreme caution must be used when moving a pressure cooker containing hot liquids.
6.Do not use pressure cooker for other than intended use.
7.This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding injury. Make certain unit is properly closed before operating. See the “Closing the Lid and Cooking” section in this manual.
8.Do not fill the unit over “Max Fill Line”. When cooking foods that expand during cooking such as rice or dried vegetables, do not fill the unit over one half full. Over filling may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and developing excess pressure. See the “Basic instructions for cooking” section in this manual.
9.Be aware that certain foods, such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl
barley, oatmeal or other cereals, split peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, or spaghetti can foam, froth, and sputter, and clog the pressures release device (steam vent). These foods should not be cooked in a pressure cooker.
10.Always check the pressure release devices for clogging before use.
11.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. Remove the pressure regulator and run cold water over the cooker to cool it to reduce the internal pressure. Any pressure in the cooker can be hazardous. See the “Releasing Pressure After Cooking” section in this manual.
12.Do not use this pressure cooker for pressure frying with oil.
13.When the normal operating pressure is reached, turn the heat down so all the liquid, which creates the steam, does not evaporate.
14.SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS.
