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. Do not use pressure cooker for other than intended use.

7. This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding

injury. Make certain unit is properly closed before operating. See the

"Closing the Lid and Cooking" section in this manual.

8. Do not fill the unit over two thirds full. When cooking foods that expand

during cooking such as rice or dried vegetables, do not fill the unit over

one half full. Over filling may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and

developing excess pressure. See the "Basic instructions for cooking"

section in this manual.

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 pressures 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.

Remove the pressure regulator an run cold water over the cooker to cool

it to reduce the internal pressure. Any pressure in the cooker can be

hazardous. See the "Releasing Pressure After Cooking" section in this

manual.

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

all the liquid, which creates the steam, does not evaporate.

14.
