Risk of Burns • This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding injury. Make certain
unit is properly closed before operating. See “Operation” section.
• 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 dangerous. See
“Operation” section.
• Always cool down your pressure cooker by immersing it in a container of cold water
before opening.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot liquid.
• Do not touch the metallic sides or the escaping steam.
• Use handles or allow appliance to cool completely. If necessary, use gloves.
Danger
Related to Misuse
• Do not use pressure cooker for other than intended use.
• Do not fill the unit over two-thirds full. When cooking foods that expand during cooking, such as
rice or dried vegetables, do not fill the unit more than one third full. Overfilling may cause a risk
of clogging the vent pipe and developing excess pressure. See “food preparation instructions.”
• Certain foods, such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or other cereals, split
peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb or spaghetti can foam, froth and sputter, and clog the
pressure release device (steam vent). These foods should not be cooked in a pressure cooker.
• Before use, always check the pressure release devices to make sure they are not clogged.
• Do not use this pressure cooker for frying or frying with oil.
• When the normal operating pressure is reached, turn the heat down so all the liquid, which
creates the steam, does not evaporate.
