containing hot liquids.
• This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in
scalding injury. Make certain unit is properly closed before operating.
See Operating Instructions beginning.
• Never ll the unit over 2⁄3 full when cooking; however, when cooking
foods that expand such as dried fruits, or vegetables, the unit must
never be over 1⁄2 full. One-half full means the food, as well as all
other ingredients and liquids combined.
• Do not cook foods such as apple sauce, beans, cranberries, pearl
barley, oatmeal or other cereals, rice, split peas, noodles, macaroni,
rhubarb, or spaghetti. These foods tend to foam, froth, and spatter,

cooker which has boiled dry and is still hot. Do not cool a hot cooker
suddenly by pouring cold water on it or wrapping cold wet towels
around it.

all the liquid, which creates steam, does not vent out. In the unlikely
event the appliance develops a fault, stop using it immediately and
seek advice from the service department: 0844 984 0055
