14 | 12-Quart Digital Pressure Cooker | Model MCPR3500
ADDITIONAL SAFETY TIPS
• Always keep hands and face away from the pressure limiting valve, especially whenever releasing
pressure.
• Use extreme caution whenever opening the lid after cooking. Always point the lid away from you
to avoid receiving any steam in the face.
• Never attempt to open the lid while cooking or before all the pressure has escaped after cooking.
Never force the lid open. Ensure that the oat valve has completely lowered to indicate that all
pressure has escaped before attempting to open the lid.
• Do not cover or block the pressure valve.
• Do not touch the pot or lid while or immediately after cooking. Always use the lid handle, tongs or
kitchen mitts.
• Allow the food to cool down before tasting to prevent burns and scalds. The temperature of the
food will exceed that of meals prepared using conventional cooking methods.
• Ensure that the rubber sealing ring is properly positioned and free of food particles or damages.
• Do not manually release pressure whenever following recipes where a large amount of liquid is
required, such as soups and stews. Ensure that the “Keep Warm” indicator is lit up prior to unplugging
the cooker. Allow the food to sit and the pressure to naturally release prior to opening the lid; the lid
should easily open. Do not force open the lid.
• Ensure that the unit is properly closed and that the pressure limiting valve is on the “Airtight” position
prior to operating the appliance.
• Always check the pressure limiting valve for clogging prior to using the appliance.
• Never use the unit without liquids. Failure to do so may result in severe damages to the unit.
• Do not use this appliance for storage purposes. Do not insert any utensils in the unit.
• NEVER place this appliance or any of its parts or components on or near a stove top, range or open
ame. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious injuries and damages to the unit.
• The “HOLDING PRESSURE” light will illuminate whenever the unit is pressurized and the cooking
process is started, and will turn off whenever the unit has switched to the “KEEP WARM” mode.
Please note that the “HOLDING PRESSURE” turning off DOES NOT indicate that pressure has been
released; the pressure will still need to be naturally or manually released . The oat valve needs to
be completely lowered to indicate that all pressure has escaped before the lid can be opened.
