IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Always observe the following basic safety precautions when using your pressure cooker
1. Read all the instructions.
2. Never touch hot surfaces. Only hold the pressure cooker by the lid handle and/or side grips.
3. Close supervision is necessary when the pressure cooker is used near children.
4. Never place the pressure cooker in a heated oven.
5. Read section 5 before using the pressure cooker on a gas hob.
6. Always use extreme care when handling your pressure cooker, especially when it contains
hot liquids.
7. Never use the pressure cooker for anything other than its intended purpose. See section 4
8. This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding injury. Ensure the
cooker is properly closed before using it. See section 8.
9. Do not fill the unit over two-thirds full. When cooking foods that expand during cooking,
such as rice or dried vegetables, do not fill the unit over one-half full. See section 6.
10. This cooker is not suitable for the preparation of apple compote, cranberries, porridge
(oat flakes), barley or other cereals (except those listed section 18), peas, pasta, macaroni
or rhubarb. These foods tend to foam and froth and could block the valve. These foods
should not be cooked in a pressure cooker.
11. Before each use, ensure that the movement of the pressure indicator in the valve is
unobstructed. See section 7.
12. Do not open the pressure cooker until it has cooled and the internal pressure has reduced.
If the handles cannot be pushed apart, or can only be pushed apart with difficulty, this indicates
that the cooker is still pressurized. Do not force the cooker open. Any pressure in the cooker
can be hazardous. See section 9 + 10.
13. This pressure cooker must not be used for frying in oil under pressure.
14. Follow the instructions for cleaning and care after each use.
15. After normal cooking pressure has been reached, reduce the heat so that all the liquid inside
the cooker does not escape as steam.
16. Be sure that the handles are assembled and fastened properly before each use.
Cracked, broken or charred handles should be replaced.
