F
full. When cooking foods that expand during cooking such as rice
and dried vegetables, do not fill the unit over 2/5 full. Overfilling
may cause a risk of clogging the pressure release hole and
developing excess pressure.
• Be aware that certain foods, such as applesauce, cranberries,
pearl barley, oatmeal and other cereals, split peas, noodles,
macaroni, rhubarb, and spaghetti can foam, froth, spatter, and
clog the pressure release hole. These food items should not be
cooked in a pressure cooker.
• WARNING: Spilled food can cause serious burns. Keep
appliance and cord away from children.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliances are used by
or near children.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

and ensure sealing ring is properly installed. See Troubleshooting
section of this User guide.
• Always use the unit on a clean, flat and dry surface. Ensure
that the unit is positioned in a stable situation with the handles
positioned to avoid spillage of hot liquids. Keep the appliance on

Cooking Maximum), as indicated on the inner pot. Exercise extreme caution
when cooking and venting food such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley,
oatmeal, split peas, noodles, etc., as these foods may foam, froth, or spatter, and
may clog the pressure release hole and/or pressure release valve. Do not fill the
inner pot higher than the — 2/5 line when cooking these foods.

Venting methods.
WARNING:
• Always keep hands and face away from the opening on the top of the
pressure release valve when using Quick Release. The escaping steam is
hot and can cause scalds, burns and serious injury.
• Do not lean over or touch the pressure release valve to avoid injury.
• Never pull out the pressure release valve when it is letting out steam.
• Do not cover the pressure release valve with a rag or cloth while steam is
26 being released.
Natural Release (NR):
CAUTION:
Do not open the lid until pressure inside the pot is completely released. As a
safety feature, the lid is locked and won’t open until the float valve drops down.
If the float valve is stuck due to food debris or sticky liquid, you can push it down
with a long utensil after you are certain that the pressure has been released
completely by moving the pressure release valve to the Venting position.
To avoid personal injuries, never attempt to force down the float valve to open
the lid. DO NOT open the lid until after the pressure is completely released
naturally or manually.
