Important Safeguards (cont..)
• Do not use this pressure cooker for
pressure frying with oil.
• This appliance has been designed for
use with a 3 prong, grounded, 220-240V
electrical outlet only. Do not use any
other electrical outlet
• The pressure cooker generates extreme
heat and steam in its operation. All
necessary precautions must be taken
to avoid fire, burns and other personal
injury during its operation.
• Do not open the pressure cooker until
the unit has cooled and all internal
pressure has been released. If the unit is
difficult to open, this indicates that the
cooker is still pressurised – do not force it
open. Any pressure in the cooker can be
hazardous. See instructions For Use.
• When in operation the pressure cooker
requires sufficient air space on all
sides including top and bottom. Never
operate the unit near any flammable
materials such as dish towels, paper
towels, curtains, paper plates, etc.
• Always plug the electrical cord directly
into the wall outlet. Never use this unit
with an extension cord of any kind.
• Anyone who has not fully read and
understood all operating and safety
instructions contained in this manual is
not qualified to operate or clean this
appliance.
• If this unit falls or accidentally becomes
immersed in water, unplug it from wall
outlet immediately. Do not reach into
the water!
• Do not operate this appliance on an
unstable surface
• If this appliance begins to malfunction
during use, immediately unplug the
cord. Do not use or attempt to repair a
malfunctioning appliance!
• NEVER FORCE OPEN the pressure cooker.
If you need to open the pressure cooker
press the CANCEL button and using
tongs or a kitchen tool carefully rotate
the pressure valve to the OPEN position
to fully release the building pressure
inside the cooker. Make sure that all the
steam has dissipated from the cooker.
Carefully turn the handle clockwise to
open. Always open the lid away from
you to avoid skin contact with any
remaining heat or steam.
• CAUTION: TO REDUCE RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK COOK ONLY IN THE REMOVABLE
CONTAINER. Do not immerse the housing
or base in water. Before use, clean the
bottom of the Inner Pot and the surface
of the heater plate… insert the Inner Pot,
turning it slightly clockwise and counter
clockwise until you are sure it is sitting
correctly on the heater plate. Failure to
do so will prevent proper operation and
may cause damage to the unit.
• CAUTION HOT SURFACE. This appliance
generates heat and escaping steam
during use. Proper precautions must
be taken to prevent the risk of personal
injury, fires, and damage to property.
• When in operation, never leave the
appliance unattended.
• Be careful also about the risk of scalding
from the steam coming out of the
appliance when you open the lid. First
open the lid very slightly to allow the
steam to escape gently.
• If the silicon gasket or inner pot are
damaged in any way. DO NOT USE
and call customer services for a
replacement.
• Make sure that the appliance is properly
closed before bringing up to pressure
(see Instructions for use).
• Do not use the appliance empty, without
its inner pot or without liquid inside the
inner pot. This could cause serious
damage to the appliance.
Important Safeguards
• Read and follow all instructions
carefully
• This appliance can be used by
children aged from 8 years and
above and persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience
and knowledge if they have been
given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance in a
safe way and understand the hazards
involved. Children shall not play with
the appliance. Cleaning and user
maintenance shall not be made by

the appliance in a safe way and
understand the hazards involved.
• Children shall not play with the
appliance.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles
or knobs
• To protect against electric shock do
not immerse or rinse cords or plug in
water or other liquid.
• This appliance should never be
operated by children and special care
should be taken when the unit is in use
in their presence. Keep the appliance
and its cord out of reach of children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before cleaning. Allow to cool before
putting on or taking off parts
• Do not operate any appliance with
a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions or has been
damaged in any manner. Return
appliance to the nearest authorised
service facility for examination, repair
or adjustment.
• Do not use any attachments or utensils
that were not recommended or
supplied by the manufacturer. The use
of attachments not recommended for
use by the manufacturer may cause
serious hazardous situations including
personal injury
• Do not use outdoors
• Do not let cord hang over edge of
table or counter, or touch hot surfaces
• Do not place on or near a hot gas or
electric burner, or in a heated oven
• Extreme caution must be used when

• Always attach plug to appliance first,
then plug cord into the wall outlet. To
disconnect, set any control to “Off”,
then remove plug from wall outlet.
• Do not use appliance for anything
other than its intended use
• This appliance cooks under pressure.
Improper use may result in scalding
injury. Make certain unit is properly
closed before operating. See
instructions For Use.
• Never fill the unit above MAX line in
the Inner Pot. When using foods that
expand during cooking such as rice
or dried beans, follow the recipe for
“pressure cooking” those products, and
as a rule of thumb, do not fill the unit
above the “halfway” point. Overfilling
may cause clogging, allowing excess
pressure to develop. See Instructions
For Use.
• Be Aware that certain foods, such as
apple-sauce, cranberries, pearl barley,
oatmeal or other cereals, split peas,
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should
always be followed including the following:

Important Safeguards (cont..)
Short Cord Instructions Electric Power
• After cooking meat which has an outer
layer of skin (such as Ox tongue, bacon
joints, chicken etc.), which could swell
due to the effects of pressure, do not
pierce the skin after cooking if it appears
swollen: you could get burnt. Pierce it
BEFORE cooking.
When cooking food with a thick texture
(chick peas, rhubarb, compotes, etc.),
shake the appliance slightly before
opening it to ensure that the food or
cooking juices do not spurt out.
• Please be aware that quickly releasing
the pressure after cooking is nor suitable
for food with a large liquid volume or
high starch content (e.g. porridge,
congee, sticky liquids, soup etc.).
Food content may splatter out from
the pressure release valve. Use natural
release method instead - allow the
cooker to cool down naturally until the
float valve drops down. This may take
between 15 and 20 minutes.
• This appliance is intended to be used
in household and similar applications
such as:
– staff kitchen areas in shops, offices
and other working environments;
– farm houses;
– by clients in hotels, motels and other
residential type environments;
– bed and breakfast type
environments.
• The heating element surface is subject
to residual heat after use, please pay
attention to it.
• THE LID MUST BE CLOSED FULLY BEFORE
SELECTING A PRESSURE FUNCTION.
• LET THE FOOD SETTLE FOR AT LEAST TWO
MINUTES AFTER PRESSURE RELEASE FLOAT
VALVE HAS DROPPED.
• THE LID MUST BE CLOSED FULLY BEFORE
SELECTING A PRESSURE FUNCTION.
• LET THE FOOD SETTLE FOR AT LEAST TWO
MINUTES AFTER PRESSURE RELEASE FLOAT
VALVE HAS DROPPED.
• AVOID SPILLAGE ON THE CONNECTOR.
• A short power-supply cord is provided to
reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord. Do not use an extension cord with
this product.
• If the electrical circuit is overloaded with
other appliances, your appliance may not
operate properly. It should be operated
on a dedicated electrical circuit.
