released. If the handles are difficult to be pushed apart, this indicates that the cooker is still
pressurized . Do not force it for opening. Any pressure in the cooker can be hazardous. (See
section 12)
13. This pressure cooker must not be used for frying with oil under pressure.
14. Follow the instructions for cleaning and care after each use. (See section 13)
