10. Do not release the pressure quickly when cooking rice, dal as the liquid inside may froth over.
11. Be aware that certain foods such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oat meal or other cereals, split peas, or foods such as
noodles, macaroni, rhubarb or spaghetti can foam, froth and sputter and may block vent tube. These foods should not be cooked
in pressure cooker/pressure pan
12. Always make sure that the vent tube is clear before closing the lid for pressure cooking.
13. Do not use the body of the cooker for deep frying.
14. Do not use the pressure cooker/pressure pan for pressure frying with oil.
15. Never use the Quick Release System (QRS) for steam release in case of liquid or frothing foods.
16. Always make sure that the Zero Pressure Device (ZPD) and the space around the ZPD inside the lid is kept clean. Otherwise the
ZPD will not seal properly to build up pressure.
17. For proper closure, lid handle must be directly above the body handle with the lid handle stopper engaged in the body handle
slot, when the open-close knob will turn to “close” position.
18. For safe pressure cooking, we advise you to replace the ZPD once a year otherwise it may not function at the time of need and
may cause damage .

20. Never place anything over the pressure regulator as the pressure regulator may not work at the desired pressure.
21. Always buy genuine Manttra spare parts. Use of duplicate parts may cause damage to the appliance. Write to Manttra Inc. for
spares.
22. When the normal operating pressure is reached, turn the heat down, so all the liquid which creates the steam, does not evoperate.
23. After cooking meat with skin (example: Ox tongue) which may swell under the effect of pressure, do not prick the meat while
the skin is swollen. You might get scalded.
24. Do not change the pressure settings, when the cooker is in use or while there is pressure inside the cooker.
