ADDITIONAL SAFETY TIPS
Always keep hands and face away from Pressure Release Device when releasing
pressure.
Use extreme caution when removing the lid after cooking. Always tilt the lid away
from you, so any remaining steam is away from your face.
Never attempt to open lid while cooking, or before the Red Float Valve (4) has
dropped. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature by forcing lid open.
Do not cover or block the pressure valves.
Do not touch the pot or lid except for the handle immediately after using.
To avoid burns, allow food to cool before tasting. The temperature of the food gets
considerably hotter than with conventional cooking.
Ensure that the gasket is properly in place and is free of food particles or is not
damaged in any way.
WARNING! Do not release steam manually with recipes containing lots of liquid,
such as soups and stews. Make sure the "KEEP WARM" indicator light is on and
unplug the cooker. Allow to sit until the lid turns without any resistance.
Do not fill unit over 2/3 full. When cooking foods that expand during cooking such
as rice, legumes, beans, or dried vegetables, do not fill the unit over 1/2 full.
Overfilling may cause a risk of clogging the pressure limiting valve and developing
excess pressure. Failure to follow this procedure can result in injury to person(s)
and/or damage to the unit. See "INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE" section in this manual.
Be aware that certain foods, such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal
or other cereals, split peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, or spaghetti can foam, froth,
and sputter, and clog the pressure release device (steam vent). These foods should
not be cooked in a pressure cooker unless following a Maxi-Matic® approved
pressure cooker recipe.
This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding injury.
Make certain unit is properly closed before operating. See "INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE"
section in this manual.
Always check the pressure release devices for clogging before use.
Do not use the pressure cooker without liquid; this could damage the pressure
cooker severely.
Do not use pressure cooker for storage purposes nor insert any utensils.
