1.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Only use side handles for carrying or moving.
3.
CAUTION Do not place the appliance on or in close proximity to a hot
gas or electric burner, or a heated oven; heat from an external source will
damage the appliance.
4.
CAUTION Do not use near water or flame. Please keep out of
direct sunlight.

CAUTION Extreme caution must be used when moving the appliance
containing hot liquids. Do not move the appliance when it is under pressure.
6.
Do not use appliance for anything other than intended use.
7.

8.
This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding
injury. Make certain the appliance is properly closed before operating.
Refer to the “Getting Started Guide”.
9.
Do not fill the appliance over 2/3 full. When cooking foods that expand
during cooking such as rice or dried vegetables, do not fill the appliance
over 1/2 full. Overfilling may cause a risk of clogging the steam release
pipe and developing excess pressure. Refer to the “Getting Started
Guide”.
10. Before each use, check the steam release valve/handle, steam release
pipe, anti-block shield and float valve for clogging. Refer to the “Getting
Started Guide”.
11. Do not open the appliance until the appliance has depressurized and all
internal pressure has been released. If the float valve is still up and/or the
lid is difficult to open, this indicates that the appliance is still pressurized
– do not force it open. Any pressure in the appliance can be hazardous.
Refer to “Venting Methods” in the “Getting Started Guide” for information
on releasing pressure.
12. Do not use this appliance for deep frying or pressure frying with oil.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
WARNING
Read this manual carefully and completely, and retain for future reference.
Failure to adhere to safety instructions may result in serious injury.
13. Do not lean over or place your hands or face over the steam release valve/
handle or float valve when the appliance is in operation or has residual
pressure. Do not touch the metal portion of the lid when the appliance is
in operation; this could result in injury.
14. Do not cover or obstruct the steam release valve/handle and float valve
with cloth or other objects. Obstructing the steam release valve/handle
and float valve can create a safety issue and may cause injury.
15. Turn the appliance off if steam escapes from the steam release valve/
handle or float valve in a steady stream for longer than 3 minutes.
There may be residual pressure in the appliance. Allow the appliance to
depressurize naturally or release all excess pressure before opening. Refer
to “Troubleshooting” section in the User Manual available online.
16. Turn the appliance off if steam escapes from the sides of the lid and
ensure sealing ring is properly installed. Refer to the “Getting Started
Guide”.

CAUTION To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the
power cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquid.
18. A short power supply cord (35 in / 0.9 m) is provided to reduce the
hazards resulting from it being grabbed by children, becoming entangled
in, or tripping over a longer cord.
19. Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into power source.
To disconnect, select Cancel, then remove plug from power source.

operate if the appliance malfunctions or has sustained damage of any
kind, including damage to the rim or bottom of the inner pot.
Contact the Customer Care Team.
