When using pressure cookers, basic
safety precautions should always be
followed:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use
handles or knobs.
3. Close supervision is necessary
when the pressure cooker is
used near children.
4. Do not place the pressure
cooker in a heated oven.
5. Extreme caution must be used
when moving a pressure cooker
containing hot liquids.
6. Do not use pressure cooker for
other than intended use.
7. This appliance cooks under
pressure. Improper use may
result in scalding injury. Make
certain unit is properly closed
before operating. See Operating
Instructions.
8. 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.
Over filling may cause a risk of
clogging the vent pipe and
developing excess pressure. See
Food Preparation Instructions.
9. Be aware that certain foods, such
as applesauce, cranberries,
pearl barley, oatmeal or other
cereals, split peas, noodles,
macaroni, rhubarb, or spaghetti
can foam, froth, and sputter, and
clog the pressures release
device (steam vent). These foods
should not be cooked in a
pressure cooker.
10. Always check the pressure
release devices for clogging
before use.
11. Do not open the pressure cooker
until the unit has cooled and all
internal pressure has been
released. If the handles are
difficult to push apart, this
indicates that the cooker is still
pressurized - do not force it
open. Remove the pressure
regulator an run cold water over
the cooker to cool it to reduce
the internal pressure. Any
pressure in the cooker can be
hazardous. See Operating
Instructions.
12. Do not use this pressure cooker
for pressure frying with oil.
13. When the normal operating
pressure is reached, turn the
heat down so all the liquid, which
creates the steam, does not
evaporate.
