IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: When releasing pressure from the unit, ensure an
oven glove is worn and a kitchen utensil is used to gradually open the valve and
release pressure. Beware of escaping steam. NEVER immerse the heating base,
power cord or plug into water or any other liquid.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using this product.
2. This appliance cooks under pressure when using pressure cooking functions.
Improper use may result in scalding injury. Make certain unit is properly closed before
operating. See Operating Instructions.
3. This appliance generates heat during use. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or
knobs.
4. Do not fill the unit over maximum fill line at 2/3 full. When cooking foods that expand
during cooking such as rice, beans, potatoes or dried vegetables, do not fill the
unit beyond the recommended level at 1/2 full. Over filling may cause a risk of
clogging the valves and developing excess pressure. Follow all cooking and recipe
instructions.
5. Always check the pressure release devices for clogging before use. Clean as
necessary.
6. Place the Multi-Cooker so that the Steam Release Valve is positioned away from the
body.
7. Never place any part of the body, including face, hands, and arms over the Steam
Release Valve. Steam can result in serious burns.
8. Do not operate the Multi-Cooker without food or liquid in the Cooking Pot.
9. To prevent risk of injury due to excessive pressure, replace Lid Sealing Gasket only
as recommended by the manufacturer. See Care and Cleaning instructions.
10. Do not use the Lid to carry the Multi-Cooker.
11. Do not move or cover the Multi-Cooker while it is in operation.
12. After pressure cooking, do not open the Multi-Cooker until the unit has cooled,
all internal pressure has been released, and the Bobber Valve has dropped
completely. If the Lid is difficult to remove, this indicates that the cooker is
still pressurized - do not force it open. Any pressure in the cooker can be
hazardous. See Releasing Pressure Instructions.
13. Be careful when lifting and removing Lid after cooking. Always tilt the Lid away from
you as steam is hot and can result in serious burns. Never place face over the Multi-
Cooker.
14. Do not use this pressure cooker for pressure frying with oil.
15. To protect against electric shock, do not place or immerse cord, plugs, or appliance in
water or other liquid.
16. Do not use the Cooking Pot for food storage or place in the freezer.
17. To prevent damage to the Multi-Cooker do not use alkaline cleaning agents when
cleaning. Use a soft cloth and a mild detergent.
18. This appliance is NOT to be used by children or by persons with reduced physical,
sensory, or mental capabilities.
19. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. Children
should not play with the appliance.
