PLEASE NOTE:
During initial use, you may notice a slight odour due to the burning off of manufacturing residue. This is completely normal, it does not affect the food being cooked and will disappear after a few uses.
NOTE: Ensure that the steam release valve is in the “sealed” position before the appliance starts the cooking process otherwise the unit will not be able to build up pressure.
