• Keep hands and face away when pressure exhaust valve is releasing pressure.
DO NOT touch the housing while cooking.
• Use only plastic paddle/spatula on the inner pot in order to keep the non-stick finish
from scratches. The inner pot cannot be heated in a stove or oven. DO NOT block up
the lid with a dishcloth.
• This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding injury. Make
certain unit is properly closed before operating. See "Operating Instructions."
• DO NOT fill the unit over the 2/3 marking. 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 clogging unit and developing excess pressure. See "Operating Instructions."
• 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 under pressure in the pressure cooker.
• Always check the pressure release valves for clogging before use.
• DO NOT open the pressure cooker until the unit has cooled and all internal pres-
sure has been released. If the lid is difficult to turn, it indicates that the cooker is still
pressurized – do not force it open. Any pressure in the cooker can be hazardous. See
"Operating Instructions."
• DO NOT use this pressure cooker for pressure frying with oil. Do not place oil into inner
pot or close lid in browning mode.
THIS UNIT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

The appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk
of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS
1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. An extension cord may be purchased and used if care is exercised in its use.
3. If an extension cord is used the marked electrical rating of the extension cord must be
the same as the product. All cords must be arranged so that they will not drape over the
