IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using pressure cookers, basic safety precautions shouldalways 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 pressurecooker containing
hot liquids.
6. Regularly check that the handles of the pressure cooker are fitted correctly.
Tighten them if necessary.
7. Do not use pressure cooker for other than intended use.
8. This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding
injury. Make certain unit is properly closed before operating. See
"Operating Instructions."
9. 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 ½ full.
Over filling may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and developing
excess pressure. See "Food Preparation Instructions."
10. 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.
11. Always check the pressure release devices for clogging before use.
12. 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".
13. Do not use this pressure cooker for pressure frying with oil.
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 pour a minimum amount of a liquid of at least 8.5 oz in the unit. See
"Operating Instructions".
16. For food that expands during cooking, like rice or dried vegetables or stewed
fruit, ... never fill your pressure cooker more than half full. For certain soups
like pumpkin or courgette ...give your pressure cooker a few minutes to
cool down, then cool it down fully by placing it under cold running water.
For the 3 and 4L models, and for foods which are doughy or which expand
during cooking, do not fill your appliance beyond the 1/3 full mark. When
