Read and save these safety guidelines.

Failure to adhere to these safety guidelines may

result in serious injury.

WARNING

14.  Do not cover or obstruct the steam release valve/handle and float valve 

with cloth or other objects. Obstructing the steam release valve/handle 
and float valve can create a safety issue and may cause injury. 

15.  Turn the appliance off if steam escapes from the steam release 

valve/handle or float valve in a steady stream for longer than 3 minutes. 
There may be residual pressure in the appliance. Allow the appliance to 
depressurize naturally or release all excess pressure before opening. 
Refer to the “Troubleshooting” section.

16.  Turn the appliance off if steam escapes from the sides of the lid and 

ensure sealing ring is properly installed. Refer to the “Getting Started” 
section.

17.   

 

     To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the 

power cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquid.

18.  A short power supply cord (35 in / 0.9 m) is provided to reduce the 

hazards resulting from it being grabbed by children, becoming entangled 
in, or tripping over a longer cord.

19.  Always attach plug to appliance first, then plug cord into power source. 

To disconnect, turn appliance OFF, then remove plug from power source. 

20.  Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool 

before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning or storage.

21.  Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug. Do not 

operate if the appliance malfunctions or has sustained damage of any 
kind, including damage to the rim or bottom of the inner pot. Contact the 
Customer Care Team.

22.   

 

     Do not let power cord hang over edge of table or counter, or 

touch hot surfaces.

23.  Intended for countertop use only. Keep the appliance on a stable, 

heat-resistant platform. Do not place on anything that may block the 
vents on the bottom of the appliance. Do not place on hot stove.

24.   

 

     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.

25.  When cooking meat with skin (e.g. sausage with casing), the skin can 

swell when heated. Do not pierce the skin as long as it is swollen; this 
could result in scalding injury.
