IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using pressure cookers, basic safety precautions should always 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 pressure cooker containing
hot liquids.
6. Only use the pressure cooker for the intended use.
7. This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in a scalding
injury. Make certain unit is properly closed before operating. See “Operating
Instructions”.
8. 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 1/3 full.
Overfilling may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and developing excess
pressure. See “Food Preparation Instructions”.
9. 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.
10. Always check the pressure release devices for clogging before use.
11. 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”.
12. Do not use this pressure cooker for pressure frying with oil.
13. When the normal operating pressure is reached, turn the heat down so that
all the liquid, which creates the steam, does not evaporate.
14. Always pour a minimum amount of at least 2 L (64 oz) of liquid in the unit.
See «Operating Instructions.
15. For food that expands during cooking, such as rice, dried vegetables or fruit
compotes, never fill your pressure cooker over one third. For some soups, like
pumpkin or courgette, leave your pressure cooker to cool down for a few
minutes, then cool it down entirely by placing it in a bowl of cold water.
16. Always be aware that certain foods, such as cranberries, spelt, millet,
currants, etc., can create moss and squirt, clogging the pressure-relief device
(vent). These foods should not be cooked in a pressure cooker.
17. Never make a recipe with animal milk in your pressure cooker.
18. Do not use rock salt in your pressure cooker, but rather add table salt when
the cooking is nearly finished.
19. When cooking large pieces of meat and food with a surface skin layer
