the pressure valves.
17. Please soak the dry foods before cooking them in the product.
18. Be aware that certain food, 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. These foods
should only be cooked in a pressure cooker with caution with the inner pot never
more than 1/2 full and using natural release.

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. Please see "Cooking Preparation".

result from stream inside the unit.
26. When opening the lid after cooking, do not touch the inner pot and cover inside
with hands directly to avoid scald.

pressure has been released. If the handles are difficult to push apart, this
