Digital Olla a Presión Model EPC-807 INSTRUCTION MANUAL Before operating your new appliance, please read all instructions carefully and keep for future reference 1 IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using pressure cookers, basic safety precautions should always be followed: 1. Read all instructions before operation. 2. Do not operate while unattended. 3. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs. 4. Close supervision is necessary when the pressure cooker is used near children. 5. DO NOT allow children to operate under any circumstance. 6. Do not place the pressure cooker in a heated oven. 7. Extreme caution must be used when moving a pressure cooker containing hot liquids. 8. Do not use pressure cooker for other than intended use. 9. Never immerse product in water or other liquids. 10. This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding injury. 11. Make certain unit is properly closed before operating. See Operating Instructions. 12. Do not fill the unit over 2/3 full. When cooking foods that expand during cooking such as rice or dried vegetables, do not fill the unit over 1/2 full. Over filling may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and developing excess pressure. Failure to follow this procedure can result in injury to person(s) and/or damage to the unit. 13. 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 pressure release device (steam vent). These foods should not be cooked in a pressure cooker. 14. When the normal operating pressure is reached, turn the heat down so all the liquid which creates the steam does not evaporate. 15. Always check the pressure release devices for clogging before use. 16. 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. Any pressure in the cooker can be hazardous. See Operating Instructions. 17. Do not use this pressure cooker for pressure frying with oil. 18. DO NOT place the product near flammable materials or use in a humid environment. 19. DO NOT damage the Seal Belt and DO NOT replace it with anything other than the replacement belt designated for this unit. 20. DO NOT tamper with the Steel Ring in the Lid (2) with any tools or external forces. If the Steel Ring is damaged (2), please stop using immediately and replace the Lid. 21. Clean the Filter (20) regularly to keep the cooker clean. 22. NEVER use additional weight on the Pressure Limiting Valve (3) or replace the Pressure Limiting Valve (3) with anything not intended for use with this unit. 23. The surface of contact between the Inner Pot (8) and the Electronic Heater (18) should always be clean. DO NOT use the Inner Pot with other heating sources. DO NOT replace the Inner Pot with a container other than what is recommended by the manufacturer. 24. The Inner Pot consists of a non-stick layer surface. To avoid scratching the non-stick surface, please use wooden or plastic utensils. 25. Food should not be kept warm for more than 24 hours in order to maintain the freshness of the food. The pressure cooker should not be used for more than 6 hours continuously. Serious Injury and/or damage may occur if any safeguards are ignored.
