• As most meals cook, steam will escape through the red float valve or
the pressure release valve. Do not place hand over valves while meal is
cooking. The hot steam may burn.
• Use a wooden or plastic spoon to stir and remove food. Do not use metal

• Do not fill cooking bowl higher than the MAX fill line. Overfilling may clog
the pressure release valve, which can cause excess pressure to build.

been specially designed to safely control the steam
pressure and temperature during cooking. Below are
instructions on how to properly assemble your pressure

during the heating, and sometimes the cooking
process, do not use the pressure cooker under
overhanging cabinets.
