Important Safety Notes
For your safety, please read and understand
all the instructions before using your pressure
cooker. Keep these instructions for your
future reference.
1. The pressure cooker must be used by a
responsible adult. Use and store it out of
reach of children.
2. Do not leave the pressure cooker unattended
while it’s under pressure. You don’t have
to stand over it, but keep an eye on it.
3. Do not let children near the pressure cooker
when in use. Close supervision is needed
when the pressure cooker is used where there
are children or pets around. Do not allow
children to use the pressure cooker.
4. Do not place the pressure cooker in
a heated oven.
5. Extreme caution must be used when moving
the pressure cooker containing hot liquids
or when it is at pressure. Do not touch hot
surfaces. Use the handles or oven gloves
when handling the pressure cooker.
6. Do not use the pressure cooker for a purpose
other than its intended use. This pressure
cooker is intended for domestic use only
and is not designed for commercial use.
The manufacturer accepts no liability if the
appliance is used for commercial purposes
or in a manner which does not comply with
the instructions in this manual.
7. The pressure cooker heats and cooks food
under pressure. Inappropriate use of the
pressure cooker may result in a scalding
injury. To avoid injury, ensure that the cooker
is closed correctly and securely before
applying heat. See details in the instructions.
8. When the food is at boiling temperature,
and when the pressure is decreasing rapidly,
steam and boiling liquid can escape from the
pressure cooker. Do not position the pressure
cooker and the decompression window
(if any) in close proximity to other people
or yourself so as to prevent injury from
escaping steam.
9. Never force open the pressure cooker until all
the internal pressure has been completely and
safely released. Strictly follow the instructions.
10. Never use your pressure cooker without
adding a liquid that will give off steam when
boiled i.e. water, wine, stock, beer, cider, etc,
or letting it boil dry, as these will cause severe
damage to the pressure cooker. Use at least
300ml (1/2pt) of liquid. This will give you up
to 15 minutes cooking. When cooking for more
than 15 minutes, increase the amount of water
by 150ml (1/4pt) for each additional 15 minute
period or part period.
11. Do not fill the cooker beyond 2/3 of its
capacity. When cooking foodstuffs which
expand during cooking, such as rice or
dehydrated vegetables, do not fill the cooker
to more than 1/3 or half of its capacity
depending on the foodstuffs. See min and
max fill guide in the instructions.
12. Use the appropriate heat source(s)
according to the instructions for use.
Only use the pressure cooker on a heat
source with a stable position.
13. After cooking meat with a skin (e.g. ox tongue)
which may swell under the effect of pressure,
do not prick the skin while the skin is swollen,
you may be scalded by escaping water/steam.
14. When cooking any doughy food, gently shake
the pressure cooker before opening the lid
to avoid food being ejected when you open
it. Don’t cook dumplings in the pressure
cooker with the lid on. The dough will rise
and may block the safety devices. Cook the
food without dumplings for the recommended
time, release the steam, remove the lid, then
add the dumplings and cook them with the lid
on, but not locked and without the pressure
regulator fitted.
15. You may use boilable plastic containers
capable of withstanding 130°C (266°F) with
the pressure cooker. Don’t fit them with lids,
they may blow off as the contents expand.
