-Use the side handles for carrying or moving the appliance. Do not use the lid.
-Do not move the appliance when it contains hot liquids.
-Never move the appliance when it is under pressure.
-Becautiousofsteamescapingfromthesteamreleaseventandtheoatvalve.
Steam may also release when opening the lid.
-When the appliance is in use or has residual pressure or heat, keep your hands
and face at a safe distance from all parts especially when moving the steam
release vent to the venting position after cooking.
-Wait until the pressure inside the appliance is completely released before you
openthelid.Thelidwillremainlockeduntiltheoatvalvedrops.Neverforce
the lid to open.
-Always use protective gloves such as oven mitts when removing accessories and
to handle the inner pot. Be careful when lifting the inner pot out when it is full as
it can be very heavy. Place hot accessories on a heat-resistant surface.
• Donotlltheinnerpotabovethefullmarking.Whencookingfoodthatexpands,
foams, froths or spits, such as rice, dried vegetables, beans, cranberries, oatmeal
andnoodles,donotlltheinnerpotmorethanhalfway.Overllingmaycauseinjury
or damage. These foods may clog the steam release pipe and / or steam release
vent.
• Foods that cause foaming and frothing should not be cooked under pressure unless
instructionstothecontraryarespecicallystatedinarecipe.
• When cooking meat with skin, such as sausages, the skin can expand when heated.
Do not pierce the skin while it is expanded as this could result in a scalding injury.
• When pressure cooking foods that are doughy, have a thick texture or high fat /
oil content, they may splatter when opening the lid. Carefully follow the recipe
instructions for how to safely release the pressure.
• Before cooking with pressure make sure that the lid is closed and locked. Never use
a lid from another pressure cooker.
• To avoid damaging or scratching the inner pot, use only wooden or plastic utensils.
• WARNING Toavoidtheriskofreandinjury,donotusethisappliancefordeep
frying or pressure frying with oil.
• To avoid the risk of overheating and injury, never cover the steam release vent or the
oatvalve.
• WARNING To prevent burns and other injuries, always use caution when
removing the lid. Never open the cooker until all pressure has been released and
ithascooleddown.Iftheoatvalveisraisedorifitisdifculttoopenthelid,this
indicates that pressure has not been released. Never force it open. When opening
the lid, lift it facing away from yourself and allow any water drops to trickle into the
pot.
• The inner pot may stick to the lid when the lid is opened. This will happen when
a vacuum seal has formed. To release the seal, turn the steam release vent to the
venting position.
• Iftheoatvalvebecomesstuck,turnthesteamreleaseventtotheventingposition.
Afterthesteamhasbeenreleased,pushdowntheoatvalveusingautensilsince
it may be hot.
• Never move the appliance while it is operating. If the appliance contains hot food or
liquid, be very careful when moving it.

Pressure Cooker Safety Features
The pressure cooker has several built-in safety features. If the pot’s temperature or
pressure exceeds the safety parameters, then the automatic protection system will stop
the cooking process. Cooking will only resume when the pressure and temperature have
returned to normal levels.

1. Excess pressure protection: when there is excess pressure, this feature will stop the
pressurizing and maintain a safe level.
2. Automatic pressure control: ensures a safe range of pressure levels.
3. Pressure regulator protection: regulates the pressure based on the function that
has been selected.
4. Safety indicator and lid lock mechanism: if the lid is not shut and sealed correctly,
pressure will not build. This feature prevents the opening of the lid while the cooker
is pressurized.
5. Anti-block shield: prevents food debris from blocking the steam release vent. It
must be installed before use.
6. Steam release vent: Controls the release of steam and disperses it upwards away
from the handle. Houses the steam release vent that regulates the cooker’s internal
pressure and the steam release pipe that enables steam to come out of the inner pot
and be released through the steam release vent.
7. Lid close detection: a magnetic sensor monitors whether the lid is in the locked
position.
8. Automatic temperature control: regulates the temperature based on the function
that has been selected.
9. Extreme temperature and power protection: if the cooker’s internal temperature
exceeds safety limits, the power will automatically turn off.
10. High temperature warning: if the temperature is too high, the power will
automatically be turned off and an error code will display.
