IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Follow basic safety precautions when using your pressure cooker. Read all instructions.
Key Safety Points
- This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in burn injuries. Make sure unit is properly closed before operating. See Pressure Cooker Lid (page 12).
- CAUTION: Always properly lock and seal the lid before pressure cooking.
- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles. Never move the cooker while it is in use.
- Use caution when opening the pressure cooker, as hot steam may come out, creating a safety hazard.
- Do not block any ventilation openings. Hot steam is released through openings. Keep your hands and face clear of openings.
- Do not touch the steam release valve or the area near the valve while cooking. Do not cover the area with a cloth.
- Always use heat-resistant gloves, pads, or oven mitts when handling hot materials.
- Never use the pressure cooker without the inner pot in place.
- Do not force the lid open. Only open the lid after all pressure has been released and the float valve has dropped back down into the lid.
