• When cooking food with a thick texture (chick peas, rhubarb, compotes, etc.), shake the appliance
slightly before opening it to ensure that the food or cooking juices do not spurt out.
• Do not use the appliance to fry food in oil. Only browning is allowed.
• In browning mode, be careful of risks of burns caused by spattering when you add food or ingredients
into the hot pot.
• During cooking and steam release at the end of cooking, the appliance releases heat and steam. Keep
your face and hands away from the appliance to avoid scalding. Do not touch the lid during cooking.
• Do not use a cloth or anything else between the lid and the housing to leave the lid ajar. This can
permanently damage the gasket.

with the instructions given.
• Make sure that the bottom of the cooking pot and the heating element are always clean. Make sure
that the central part of the heating plate is mobile.
• Do not fill up your appliance without its cooking pot.
• Use a plastic or wooden spoon to prevent any damage to the non-stick coating of the pot. Do not cut
food directly in the cooking pot.
• If a great deal of steam is released from the rim of the lid, unplug the power cord at once and check
whether the appliance is clean. If necessary, send the appliance to an Approved Service Centre for
repair.
• Do not carry the appliance by holding it by the handles of the removable pot. Always use the two side
handles on the housing of the appliance. Wear oven mitts if the appliance is hot. For more safety, make
sure that the lid is locked before transporting the appliance.

pressure cooking, send the appliance to a service centre for repair.
