Safety and cooking instructions
•
Use extreme caution when using the
'Pressure Release' button for steam venting.
Make sure that your hands and face do
not come into contact with the steam by
keeping them away from the steam valve
and pressure release valve. Failure to do so
may result in serious injury.
•
The pressure in the cooker must have been
released completely before you attempt to
open the pressure relief lid. The lid remains
locked until the pressure relief valve drops.
Never force the pressure lid open.
•
The inner pot may stick to the pressure lid
when the lid is opened. This is due to the
suction force caused by the contents cooling
down. In this case, press the 'Pressure
Release' button to vent. The vacuum in the
inner pot will then be released.
•
If the pressure release valve becomes stuck,
press the 'Pressure Release' button. After
the steam disappears, move the pressure
release valve downwards with a long stick
or pen.
•
At least 1 cup / 250 ml of liquid should be
added to produce enough steam to boil
