IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
closed before operating. Please see the “Getting Started”
section.
14. Do not fill unit over 2⁄3 full (Max line). When cooking foods
that expand during cooking, such as dried vegetables,
legumes, beans, and grains, do not fill the unit over ½ full.
Overfilling may cause a risk of clogging the pressure limit
valve and developing excess pressure. Be aware that
certain foods, such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley,
oatmeal and other cereals, split peas, noodles, macaroni,
rhubarb, or pasta can foam, froth and sputter, and clog the
pressure release devices.
15. 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.
16. Always check the pressure release devices for clogging or
sticking. Both pressure devices must move freely before
use.
17. Do not use this appliance for pressure frying with oil.
18. To prevent risk of explosion and injury, replace only
dynamic seal ring as recommended by the manufacturer.
See Operating Instructions.
19. Do not use under hanging cabinets; steam from pressure
release may cause damage.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
20. 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.
21. CAUTION: Risk of Electric Shock. Cook only in removable
container.
22. This appliance is not intended for deep frying foods.
23. 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.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks
resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord.
Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their
use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical
rating of the extension cord must be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance, and the longer cord should
be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped
over.
