Safety Use & Care
• DO NOT touch hot surfaces. Use handle and pot holders when necessary.
• To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or the unit in water
or other liquid.
• Close supervision is necessary when any unit is used by or near children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow it to cool before
puttingonortakingoparts.
• DO NOT operate the pressure cooker with a damaged cord or plug, after the unit
malfunctions or if it has been damaged in any manner. If the unit is malfunctioning,
please contact customer support.
• Using other accessories that are not compatible with the pressure cooker is not
recommended. Doing so may damage the unit or cause injury.
• The pressure cooker is intended for indoor use only.
• DO NOT place on or near a hot gas or electric burner and/or in a heated oven.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving the pressure cooker with hot oil or
other hot liquids inside.

released from the pressure cooker.
• DO NOT use the unit for anything other than its intended use.
• If you cook meat with a casing, such as sausage, swelling can occur when cooked
under pressure. Piercing the skin after cooking can lead to bursts of hot liquid.
• DO NOT lean over the pressure cooker at any time while it is cooking.
• This pressure cooker should not be used for any medical purposes. It is not
designed to reach the required temperature for sterilization.
• The silicone gasket creates a pressure seal between the lid and the pot. Keep the
gasket completely clean and free from any cracks or deterioration.
• DO NOT break the silicone gasket. Do not replace it with other rubber gaskets, or
use a tension belt to make it seal.
• Itisextremelyimportanttollthepressurecookerwithliquidpriortooperation.
Never cook without liquid; doing so can cause the unit to overheat and damage the
safety mechanisms. In case of overheating, never remove the pressure cooker from
theheatsource.Instead,shutitoimmediatelyandletitcool.
• Makesureallpartsofthepressurereleasevalveandoatvalvearecleanand
