If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance may not operate properly. It should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.

The pressure release valve is used to regulate pressure inside the Pressure Cooker. Small amounts of steam may escape during cooking, this is normal. Ensure that the pressure cooker is not placed under overhanging cabinets during cooking. Avoid reaching over the pressure release valve when in use. The pressure release valve should always be on the ‘PRESSURE’ setting during cooking. After cooking is complete change the setting to RELEASE before attempting to open the lid. Ensure that your face and hands are away from the opening of the pressure release valve to ensure that you do not get burnt or injured, the steam isveryhot and extreme caution must be exercised when steam is being released.

For your safety the lid will not come off when it is in the LOCK position. To open the lid use the handle to turn the lid clock-wise to the UNLOCK position and lift-off the lid.

When cooking is complete rst turn the pressure release valve to RELEASE position, wait for steam to escape and then turn the handle clockwise to the UNLOCK position and lift the lid off the unit. When removing the lid, remove it in such a manner that the steam is directed away from you. Do this by allowing the top ofthe lid to face your direction, so steam escape away from the user.
