- Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids. Improper use, including moving the cooker, may result in personal injury such as serious burns.
- When unit is in operation, hot steam is released through the air socket vent. Place unit so vent is not directed toward the power cord, electrical sockets, cabinets or other appliances. Keep your hands and face at a safe distance from vent.
- When using SLOW COOK setting, ALWAYS keep the door closed.
- Serious burns can result from the steam and hot foods inside the inner pot. ALWAYS keep hands, face, and other body parts away from the release valve prior to or during release and when opening the door after cooking.
