- Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by or near children.
- Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
- The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
- For household use only. Do not use outdoors.
- Do not let power cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
- Do not place the appliance on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or a heated oven;
- Extreme caution must be used when moving the appliance containing hot liquids.
- Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into the wall outlet.
- Be aware that certain foods, such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or other cereals, split peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, or spaghetti can foam, froth, and sputter, and clog the pressure release device (steam vent). These foods should not be cooked in a pressure cooker.
- When the normal operating pressure is reached, turn the heat down so all the liquid, which creates the steam, does not evaporate.
- To disconnect, turn appliance "off", then remove plug from wall outlet.
- Do not use appliance for anything other than intended use.
- This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding injury. Make certain unit is properly closed before operating. Please see the "Getting Started" section.
- Do not fill the appliance over 2/3 full. When cooking foods that expand during cooking such as rice or dried vegetables, do not fill the appliance over 1/2 full. Over filling may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and developing excess pressure. See the "Food Preparation/Pressure Cooking" section.
- Do not open the appliance until the appliance has cooled and all internal pressure has been released. If the float valve is still up and/or the lid is difficult to open, this indicates that the appliance is still pressurized – do not force it open. Any pressure in the appliance can be hazardous. Please see the "Getting Started" section for instructions to safely remove lid.
- Always check the pressure release devices for clogging before use.
- Do not use this appliance for pressure frying with oil.
- To prevent risk of explosion and injury, replace only dynamic seal ring as recommended by the manufacturer. See Operating Instructions.
- Intended for countertop use only.
- [WARNING] Spilled food can cause serious burns. Keep appliance and cord away from children. Never drape cord over edge of counter, never use outlet below counter, and never use with an extension cord.
- [CAUTION] Risk of Electric Shock. Cook only in removable container.
- This appliance is not intended for deep frying foods.
- This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
