SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Take the time to read all the following instructions carefully.
• Do not use appliance for other than the intended pur-
pose.
• This appliance is not a steriliser. Do not use it to ster-
ilise jars.
• The appliance cooks food under pressure, in two dif-
ferent modes: low pressure (40 kPa, i.e. 109°C) or high
pressure (70 kPa, i.e. 115°C). Incorrect use may cause
risks of burns due to steam.
• Make sure that the appliance is properly closed be-
fore bringing it up to pressure (see Instructions for
use).
• Never force the appliance open. Make sure that the
inside pressure has returned to normal. To do so, see
the Instructions for use.
• Do not use the appliance empty, without its pot or
without liquid inside the pot. This could cause serious
damage to the appliance.
• Do not fill your appliance more than the MAX mark
on the pot. Do not fill it more than half full for food
that expands during cooking, such as rice, dehydrated
vegetables. Reduce the volume of water to avoid the
risk of boiling over.
• Please follow the recommendations on the volume of
food and water.
• After cooking meat which has an outer layer of skin
(such as ox tongue), which could swell due to the ef-
fects of pressure, do not pierce the skin after cooking
if it appears swollen: you could get burnt. Pierce it be-
fore cooking.
•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.
• When you open the lid, always hold it by the lid han-
dle. Position your arms in alignment with the side car-
rying handles. Boiling water could remain trapped
between the gasket support and the lid and could
cause burns.
• Be careful also about the risk of scalding from the
steam coming out of the appliance when you open
the lid. First open the lid very slightly to allow the
steam to escape gently.
