5. Do not operate the unit on an unstable surface. Never operate the unit on or near flammable
materials, such as newspapers or paper plates.
6. Close supervision is necessary when the pressure cooker is used by or near children.
7. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other
liquid.
8. Be sure that handles are assembled and fastened properly before each use. Cracked, broken or
charred handles should be replaced.
9. In the event of a damaged cord, plug, or product malfunction, refrain from use and return the
device to the nearest service center for examination or repair.
10. Never use unauthorized accessories or replacement parts, since they may cause electrical
shock or burn injuries.
11. Never place the cord on or near hot surface or flammable sources and adequately check for
12. Caution: to reduce the risk of electrical shock, cook only in the provided removable container
(cooking pot).
13. Prior to each use: check the anti block shield, float valve, and exhaust valve for obstruction.
Wipe the heating plate and the inner pots surface and be sure the exhaust valve is in the
correct location. Be sure to check the pressur release devices for clogging incidences prior

to each use and refrain from covering pressure valves.

17. Be aware that certain food, such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or other
cereals, split peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, or spaghetti can foam, froth, sputter , and
clog the pressure release device. (steam vents). These foods should only be cooked in a
pressure cooker with caution with the inner pot never more than 1/2 full and using natural
release.
18. Never fill the unit over MAX level (2/3 full). When cooking foods that expand during cooking,
such as rice or dried vegetables, do not fill the unit above the halfway point. Overfilling may
cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and developing excess pressure. Please see
“Cooking Preparation”.
19. This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding injury. Be sure
unit is properly closed before operating. Please see “Cooking Preparation”.
20. Never deep fry or pressure fry in the unit with oil. It is dangerous and may cause a fire or
serious damage.
21. Do not move this product or force to remove the lid when the unit is in operation.
22. Extreme caution must be used when moving the unit containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
23. To avoid scalding, never place your hands or face over the exhuast/ float valves during use.
24. After cooking, use extreme caution when removing the lid. Always open the lid away from you

unit.
25. When opening the lid after cooking, do not touch the inner pot.
26. 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. Any pressure in the cooker can be hazardous. Please see
“Cooking Preparation”.
27. To disconnect, turn the control setting off and remove from the wall outlet.
28. Always unplug from outlet when not in use, before removing parts and cleaning. Allow to cool
before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
29. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement and
tripping. An extension cord may be used if care is exercised in its use. If an extension cord is
used, the electrical rating of the cord must be at least 20 amps and 120 volts. The extension
cord must be arranged so that it will not drape over edge of table or counter where it can be
pulled by children or tripped over accidentally. This appliance has a fitted plug. Do not attempt
to modify the plug in any way.

Hold the cover handle in a counter clockwise rotation
of approximately 30' until the cover marking
aligns with the outer casing's 'open' marking. Then lift the cover.
Before insertion, remove any foreign objects or water
droplets from the inner pot surfaces. After insertion,
rotate the inner pot slightly to ensure
adequate contact between the inner pot and heating
plate.

Hold the cover handle in a clockwise rotation of
approximately 30s until the cover marking
aligns with the outer casings close marker.
Align the exhaust valves handle with the sealing
icon to maintain airtight cooking conditions.
When exhaust specs are required, align the exhaust
valves small handle with the icon until an indication
shows that the cooker is in the exhaust position.
When in sealing zone, inspect whether the float valve
has fallen, as it does prior to heating.

1. Disconnects the power or take off the power plug.
2. Exhaust method
A. Quick opening method
Slide the exhaust valve to the exhaust position until the float valve falls. (for non-fluid food)
Allow the pressure cooker to cool naturally until the float valve falls. (for non-fluid food)
B. General opening method
Have the pressure cooker to cool naturally, until the float valve falls.
3. Open the cover
Hold the cover handle firmly, turn the cover clockwise to the spacing edge, and pull up the cover.
Do not open the cover until pressure inside the pot is released adequately .
Never pull out the exhaust valve when it is exhausting.
For fluid foods (porridge and sticky liquid), do not slide the exhaust valve for exhaust when
cooking is just finished, and otherwise the food will eject from the exhaust valve core. Be sure
to disconnect the power supply, have the unit cool naturally or put a wet towel around the cover
to speed up cooling until the float falls, and finally open the cover.
When large quantity food cooked, do not exhaust immediately after cooking. It is recommended
to open the cover and consume food once it is been in keep warm mode for some time.

cause unusual heat and fire.
The damaged power cord
must be replaced with a
special flexible cord or a
special component bought
from the manufacturer or
service agency.
Place it away from children.
This may cause burn or
electric shock.
Carry out regular inspection
of the exhaust valve and
anti-block shield to make
sure that they are
unobstructed.
