There may be residual pressure in the appliance. Allow the appliance to depressurize naturally or release all excess pressure before opening.
Please see the “Troubleshooting” section.
16. Turn the appliance off if steam escapes from the sides of the lid and ensure sealing ring is properly installed. Please see 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 (0.6 m to 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 the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn appliance “off”, then remove plug from wall outlet.
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, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact Customer
Care.
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.
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.
26. When pressure cooking food with a doughy or thick texture, or a high fat/oil content, contents may splatter when opening the lid. Please follow recipe
instructions for pressure release method. Once steam is fully released, gently shake the appliance with extreme caution and then release the steam
again, if necessary, before removing the lid.
27. Before inserting the inner pot into the appliance, wipe the outer surface of the inner pot and cooking element to confirm they are dry and free of food
debris.
28. Do not attempt to repair, replace, or modify components of the appliance, as this may cause electric shock, fire or injury, and will void the warranty.
29. Do not tamper with any of the safety mechanisms.
30. Do not use appliance in electrical systems other than 120V/60Hz for North America. Do not use with power converters or adapters.
