pressure has 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.
• Always cook in the removable cooking pot of the multi-cooker. Cooking without
the removable cooking pot may cause an electric shock or damage to the unit.
• Never deep fry or pressure fry in the cooker. It is dangerous and may cause a
fire and severe damage.
• Never cover or block the pressure valve with anything. This blocking may cause
over pressurizing and lead to severe accidents.
• While you're cooking, the lid and the outer stainless steel surface of the cooker
might get hot. Handle with care and carry or move the cooker using only the
side handles. Be very cautious when moving an appliance containing hot food
or liquids.
• Keep hands and face away from the pressure regulator knob when releasing
pressure from the cooker to avoid being scalded by hot steam.
• After cooking, use extreme caution when removing the lid. Severe burns can
result from residual steam escaping from inside the unit. Lift the lid facing
away from you and allow the drops of water to trickle back from the lid into the
cooker.
• Always unplug and let cool before cleaning and removing parts. Never attempt
to unplug the unit by pulling on the power cable. Keep unplugged when not in
use.
• To reduce the risk of an electric shock, never immerse the plug, power cable or
housing in water or any other liquid. Only the removable cooking pot can be in
the dishwasher.
• Only qualified experts may repair and perform maintenance work on the electric
multi-cooker using authentic ZAVOR replacement and accessory parts. Never
attempt to disassemble and repair the multi-cooker yourself.
• This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding
injury. Make sure the unit was closed correctly before operating. See "Pressure
Cooker Function."
• Do not fill the unit over 2/3 full. When cooking with foods that expand such as
rice or dried vegetables, do not fill the removable cooking pot more than 1/2 full.
Overfilling may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and cannot allowenough
room for the proper building of pressure. See "Operating Functions."
• The following foods tend to foam, froth, and/or sputter: applesauce, cranberries,
pearl barley, oatmeal, split peas, noodles/pasta, or rhubarb. These items may
block the pressure valve if filled too high in the removable cooking pot. Please
be sure when pressure cooking these items not to fill the removable cooking
pot more than halfway.
• Always check the pressure release devices for clogging before use.
