Rena Ware nutrex - Safety Precautions and Operation; Essential Pressure Cooker Safety; Nutrex Cooker Operating Procedures

When using pressure cookers, basic safety precautions should always be
followed.
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. Close supervision is necessary when the pressure cooker is used near
children.
4. Do not place the pressure cooker in a heated oven.
5. Extreme caution must be used when moving a pressure cooker containing
hot liquids.
6. Do not use pressure cooker for other than intended use.
7. This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding
injury. Make certain unit is properly closed before operating. See “Operating
Instructions.”
8. Do not ll the unit over 2/3 full. When cooking foods that expand during
cooking such as rice or dried vegetables, do not ll the unit over 1/2 full.
Over lling may cause a risk of clogging the vent and developing excess
pressure. See “Cooking with Your Pressure Cooker.”
9. 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.
10. Always check the pressure release devices for clogging before use.
11. Do not open the pressure cooker until the unit has cooled and all internal
pressure has been released. If the handles cannot be pushed apart, this
indicates that the cooker is still pressurized - do not force it open. Any
pressure in the cooker can be hazardous. See “Operating Instructions.”
12. Do not use this pressure cooker for pressure frying with oil.
13. When the normal operating pressure is reached, turn the heat down so all
the liquid, which creates the steam, does not evaporate.

Operating Instructions
Your Nutrex Cooker is compatible with all cooking surfaces, including electric,
gas, ceramic, and induction. When cooking on a stovetop, always select a
burner closest to the utensil’s diameter. When cooking with gas, never allow
the ame to come up around the sides of the utensil. Do not leave the utensil
unattended when heating.
Before You Begin
Before using your pressure cooker for the rst time, wash all parts thoroughly in
1⁄2 cup vinegar and hot, soapy water, rinse and dry.
Getting Started
1. The valve stem rises and lowers to show you the cooking level in your
pressure cooker and it is also an important safety device. Every time before
using your pressure cooker, check the valve stem to make sure it is working
properly.
• Be sure the knob is screwed tightly on the valve stem.
• Gently pull up on the knob.
• The valve stem should move freely up and down.
If it does not, do not use the pressure cooker (see
Troubleshooting).
