IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND TIPS
. Make sure that the lid ts properly, with the lid handle directly above the bottom handle. If not tted
properly, the Speedcooker® II will not build pressure.
. Never try to open the Speedcooker® II by force, especially if it is still hot. Wait until it has cooled suciently
and the Red Pressure Valve has dropped completely before attempting to open it.
. Never pour water over the hot sealed Speedcooker® II – this is dangerous.
. If steam escapes or water drips from underneath the lid, the Sealing Ring may be poorly positioned, dirty or
damaged. In each case you must clean and reposition the Sealing Ring once the unit has cooled down, or it
may need to be replaced.
. Do not store the Speedcooker® II with the lid on. Limited ventilation will cause musty smells and the
Sealing Ring may become over compressed and unable to perform its function.
. For best results, it is recommended to change the Sealing Ring once a year. You can purchase a new Sealing
