07 The removable inner pot can be extremely heavy when full of
ingredients. Care should be taken when lifting the inner pot from the
multicooker base to avoid burn and/or personal injury.
• Extreme caution must be used when the inner pot contains hot food,
hot oil or other hot liquids.
• DO NOT move the appliance while it is in use and use extreme
caution when disposing of hot grease.
08 Overlling may cause a risk of clogging the steam release
pipe and developing excess pressure.
• DO NOT ll over the Max PC Fill line as indicated on the inner pot.
• DO NOT ll the inner pot over the Half Fill line (as indicated on the
inner pot) when cooking foods that expand during cooking such as
rice or dried vegetables.
09 This appliance cooks under pressure. Any pressure in
the appliance can be hazardous. Allow the appliance to depressurise
naturally or release all excess pressure before opening. Inappropriate
use may result in burns, personal injury and/or property damage.
• Make sure the appliance is properly closed before operating. Refer to
Pressure control features: pressure cooking lid.
• DO NOT cover or obstruct the steam release valve and/or oat valve
with cloth or other objects.
• DO NOT attempt to open the appliance until it has depressurised,
and all internal pressure has been released. Attempting to open the
appliance while it is still pressurised may lead to sudden release of
hot contents and may cause burns or other personal injuries.
• DO NOT place your face, hands or exposed skin over the steam
release valve or oat valve when the appliance is in operation or has
residual pressure.
• DO NOT lean over the appliance when removing the lid, as heat and
steam escape when the lid is removed.
• The unit keeps releasing steam for non-pressure settings in order to
avoid pressure building inside the inner pot.

WARNING
Read this manual carefully and completely and retain for future reference. Failure to
adhere to safety instructions may result in serious personal injury or property damage.

fat/oil content, contents may splatter when opening the lid. Follow recipe
instructions for pressure release method. Refer to Releasing pressure.
12 Oversized foods and/or metal utensils must not be inserted into the
inner pot as they may cause risk of re and/or personal injury and
property damage.
