IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using pressure cookers, basic safety precautions should always be followed:
1 Read all instructions.
2 Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3 Close supervision is necessary when the pressure cooker is used
near children.
4 Do not place the pressure cooker in a heated oven.
5 Extreme caution must be used when moving a pressure cooker
containing hot liquids.
6 Do not use pressure cooker for other than intended use.
7 This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in a
scalding injury. Make certain unit is properly closed before opera-
ting. See “Operating instructions”.
8 Do not fill the unit over 2/3 full. When cooking foods that expand
during cooking such as rice or dried vegetables, do not fill the unit
over 1/2 full. See “Operating instructions”.
9 Do not cook foods such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oat-
meal or other cereals, split peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, or spa-
ghetti. These foods tend to foam, froth, and sputter, and may block
the pressure release device.
10 Always check the pressure release devices for clogging before use.
11 Do not open the pressure cooker until the unit has cooled and inter-
nal pressure has been reduced. See “Operating instructions”.
12 Do not use this pressure cooker for pressure frying with oil.
13 Be sure that handles are assembled and fastened properly.
14 SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
- Never use your appliance without liquid, as it could damage it severely.
- Always use at least 1 cup (250 ml) liquid in the pressure cooker.
- Be careful to use heat sources which are suitable to your pressure cooker.
• when using a gas burner: make sure that the flame is not higher than the
base of the appliance.
• when using an electric or radiant range: choose a cooking plate with a
diameter equal to or less than that of the appliance.
- Before placing the appliance onto a hotplate, ensure that the base of the cooker
is dry and thoroughly clean.
- After having cooked a type of meat that has an adhering skin (i.e. chicken) which
tends to swell when cooked in pressure cookers, do not puncture swollen skin
as you risk scalding yourself.
- In the case of starchy foods, slightly shake the pressure cooker before opening
the lid to avoid food splattering.
- When pressure has built up, avoid pointing the release device towards you as
the steam burst can be dangerous.
- Leave the safety systems alone, except for cleaning and maintenance in accor-
dance with instructions. In particular, never open the control panel.
- Use only T-Fal spare parts for your model.
