not designed to reach the required temperature for sterilization.
• The silicone gasket creates a pressure seal between the lid and the
pot. Keep the gasket completely clean and free from any cracks or
deterioration.
• DO NOT break the silicone gasket. Do not replace it with other rubber
gaskets or use a tension belt to make the pressure cooker seal.
• It is extremely important to fill the pressure cooker with liquid prior to
operation. Never cook without liquid; doing so can cause the unit to
overheat and damage the safety mechanisms.
• In case of overheating, never remove the pressure cooker from the heat
source. Instead, shut it off immediately and let it cool.
• Make sure all parts of the pressure release valve and floater valve are clean
and properly assembled.
• DO NOT alter the safety mechanisms or attempt to repair the
pressure cooker as this will void the warranty. Please refer to the Care &
Maintenance section on page 14 on how to maintain the pressure cooker.
• DO NOT place the unit close to flammable materials, heating units, or wet
environments.
• Check and wash anti-clog filter and pressure release valve regularly to
avoid any blockage.
• DO NOT attempt to open the lid when the float valve is down.
• DO NOT put anything on or use other objects to replace the pressure
release valve.
• Never use a towel to clog the gap between the lid and edge of the
housing.
• The bottom of the inner pot and heating plate should be kept clean. Do
not put the inner pot on other heat sources. Do not replace the inner pot
with other containers.
• Only use wood or plastic ladles or spoons to prevent the stainless steel
pot from being scratched.
• DO NOT attempt to move the pressure cooker while it is cooking; wait
until it cools down to move it. Move the unit using the built-in handle; do
not try to hold the pressure cooker from the lid handle.
• DO NOT disassemble the unit on your own or try to replace with parts
from different brands.
• Make sure air/pressure completely discharges before opening the lid after
cooking has finished.
• Clean and properly place the water collection cup. Clean the lid before
each use.
• You may experience some smoke coming out the unit during the first few
uses due to the initial heating of the materials; this is normal.
• DO NOT let power cord hang over the edges of tables or counters, or
touch hot surfaces.
• A short power supply cord is provided to reduce injuries resulting from
entanglement and tripping. If an extension cord is used, the electrical
