WARNING:
• Never use the steam pressure cooker near children.
• Do not place the steam pressure cooker in a hot oven.
• Move the steam pressure cooker very carefully when under pres-
sure. Do not touch the hot surfaces but use the handles on the side
instead. Use oven gloves if necessary.
• Use the steam pressure cooker only for its intended use.
• This cooker uses pressure to prepare food. Incorrect use can
cause burns. Make sure the steam pressure cooker is properly
closed before putting it on the stove. You will find more information
throughout these operating instructions.
• Never use force to open the steam pressure cooker. Make sure the
internal pressure has been released completely before opening the
cooker. You will find more information throughout these operating
instructions.
• Do not heat the steam pressure cooker without water in it. If there
is no water in the steam pressure cooker, it will be seriously dam-
aged.
• When filling the steam pressure cooker with water, do not exceed
2/3 of the rated capacity. When preparing foods that rise in volume
during cooking, such as rice or dried vegetables, fill the steam
pressure cooker with water not exceeding half of the rated capac-
ity.
• Only use heating sources specified in these operating instructions.
• When cooking meat with skin (e.g. ox tongue) that can expand
under pressure, do not pierce the meat while the skin is bloated, as
you could otherwise burn yourself from splashing.
