GROUNDED PLUG: As a safety feature, this appliance is equipped with a grounded
plug, which will only fit into a three-prong outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this safety
feature. Improper connection of the grounding conductor may result in the risk of
electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded.

from it being grabbed by children, becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer
cord.
DO NOT alter the plug. DO NOT attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the
grounded plug.
BUILT-IN SAFETY MECHANISMS

6
1. Automatic temperature control: Appliance will automatically stop heating if the
cooking pot is missing / empty or operating without enough liquids.
2. Automatic pressure control: If the internal pressure exceeds maximum pressure
value, the appliance will automatically start releasing pressure through the pressure
release valve.
3. Extreme pressure protection: If the automatic temperature and pressure control
safety devices become invalid and the pressure inside the pot reaches maximum
value, the appliance will automatically start releasing pressure from the lid.
4. Anti-blocking steam vent device: A specially designed cover avoids food particles
from blocking the pressure release valve (under the lid) while in operation and
ensure steam exhausts smoothly during the cooking process.
5. Overheat safety device: The appliance will automatically disconnect if excessive
temperature is built up inside the cooking pot.
6. Special safety lid mechanism: The appliance is equipped with a locking lid
mechanism that prevents the appliance from operating if lid is not properly
locked. Locking mechanism also prevents the lid from opening when appliance is
pressurized.
7. Extreme pressure control: The appliance will automatically disconnect if it reaches
extreme pressure level.
