• Check that your power supply voltage
corresponds to that shown on the appliance
(alternating current only). Any error in
plugging in your appliance may cause
irreversible damage and invalidate the
guarantee.
• Indoor use only.
• For cleaning your appliance, please refer
to instructions for use. You can wash the
cooking bowl and steam basket in soapy hot
water or in the dishwasher. Clean the body
of the appliance using a damp cloth.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water or
any other liquid.
Take the time to read all the following
instructions carefully.
• Improper use of the appliance and its
accessories may damage the appliance and
cause injury.
• Do not touch hot parts of the appliance.
After use, the heating element surface is
subject to residual heat after use.
• For your safety, this appliance conforms to
all applicable standards and regulations
(Low Voltage Directive, Electromagnetic
Compatibility, Food Compliant Materials,
Environment, ...).
• This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities,

or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in order
to avoid a hazard. Do not replace the power
cord supplied with other cords.
• This appliance is intended for domestic
household use only. It is not intended to be
used in the following applications, and the
guarantee will not apply for:
− 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.
• This appliance shall not be used by children.
Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach
of children.
• Appliances can be used by 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 if they
understand the hazards involved.
• Children shall not play with the appliance.
• Place the appliance on a flat stable,
heatproof work surface, away from any
water splashes or any sources of heat.
• Never place or use the appliance close
to a wall or below a wall cupboard as the
steam produced by the appliance can cause
damage.
• Do not place your appliance near a heat
source in operation (hob, household
appliance, etc.).
• Do not fill your appliance to more than the
MAX mark on the bowl. Do not fill it more
than half full for food that expands during
cooking, such as rice, dried vegetables.
Reduce the volume of water to avoid the risk
of boiling over.

• When in operation, never leave the
appliance unattended.
• Please follow the recommendations on the
volume of food and water to avoid the risk
of boiling over which can damage your
appliance and cause injury.
• Before using your appliance, check that
the manometric rod and the safety valve
are clean (see section Cleaning and
maintenance).
• Do not place any foreign objects in the
pressure release system. Do not replace any
of the safety device yourself.
• When you open the lid, first unlock it by
holding the lid open/close handle. Then
position your arms in alignment with the
side carrying handles, hold each side lid
handle with your hands and raise the lid.
• 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.
• Never force the appliance open. Make
sure that the inside pressure has returned
to normal. Do not open the lid when the
appliance is under pressure. To do so, see
page 42 “Problem & Solutions” section
“The lid does not open once the steam is
released”.
• Use only the appropriate spare parts for
your model. This is particularly important for
the sealing gasket, the cooking bowl and its
safety devices.
• Do not damage the sealing gasket. If it is
damaged, have it replaced in an Approved
Service Centre.
• The heat source necessary for cooking is
included in the appliance.
• Do not place the appliance in a heated oven
or on a hot hob. Do not place the appliance
close to an open flame or a flammable
object.
• Do not heat the cooking bowl with any
other heat source than the heating plate
of the appliance and do not use any other
bowl. Do not use the cooking bowl with
other appliances.

• Move the appliance with great care when
it is under pressure. Do not touch the
hot surfaces. Use the carrying handles
when moving it and wear oven gloves, if
necessary. Do not use the lid handle to lift
the appliance.
• Do not use the appliance for other than the
intended purpose.
• This appliance is not a steriliser. Do not use
it to sterilise jars.
• The appliance cooks food under pressure.
Incorrect use may cause risks of burns due
to steam.
• Make sure that the appliance is properly
closed before bringing it up to pressure (see
Instructions for use).
• Do not use the appliance empty, without
its bowl or without liquid inside the bowl
if using a mode cooking under pressure.
This could cause serious damage to the
appliance.
• After cooking meat which has an outer layer
of skin (such as ox tongue), 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.
• Do not use the appliance to deep fry food in
oil. Only browning is allowed.
• In browning mode, be careful of risks of
burns caused by spattering when you add
food or ingredients into the hot bowl.
• During cooking and automatic steam
release at the end of cooking, the appliance
releases heat and steam. Keep your face
and hands away from the appliance to
avoid scalding. Do not touch the lid during
cooking.
• Do not use a cloth or anything else between
the lid and the housing to leave the lid ajar.
This can permanently damage the gasket.
• Do not touch the safety devices, except
while cleaning and maintaining the
appliance in accordance with the
instructions given.

• Make sure that the bottom of the cooking
bowl and the heating element are always
clean. Make sure that the central part of the
heating plate is mobile.
• Do not fill up the interior body of your
appliance without its cooking bowl.
• Use a plastic or wooden spoon to prevent any
damage to the non-stick coating of the bowl.
Do not cut food directly in the cooking bowl.
• If a great deal of steam is released from the
rim of the lid, unplug the power cord at once
and check whether the safety devices are
clean. If necessary, send the appliance to an
Approved Service Centre for repair.
• Do not carry the appliance by holding it by
the handles of the removable bowl. Always
use the two side handles on the housing
of the appliance. Wear oven gloves if the
appliance is hot. For more safety, make sure
that the lid is locked before transporting the
appliance.
• If pressure is released continuously through
the valve of the appliance (for more than
1 minute) while pressure cooking, send the
appliance to a Approved Service Centre for
repair.
• Do not use a damaged appliance. Take it to
your Approved Service Centre.
• The guarantee does not cover the abnormal
wear and tear of the cooking bowl.
• In accordance with current regulations,
before disposing of an appliance no longer
needed, the appliance must be rendered
inoperative (by unplugging it and cutting off
the supply cord).
• Use only spare parts sold in an Approved
Service Centre.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
Environment protection first!
