Important precautions

Take the time to read all the instructions and refer to the "User's

guide".

•

As with any cooking appliance, supervise cooking closely if using the

X'press Cooker with children nearby.

•

Do not put your X'press Cooker into a hot oven.

•

When the X'press Cooker is under pressure, take great care when

moving it. Do not touch the hot surfaces. Use the handles on the pan.

Wear gloves if necessary.

•

Do not use your X'press Cooker for any use other than that for which

it is designed.

•

Your X'press Cooker cooks under pressure. Burns could result from

boiling over if not used properly. Make sure that the X'press Cooker

is properly closed before bringing it up to pressure.

•

Never force the X'press Cooker open. Make sure that the inside pres-

sure has returned to normal.

•

Never use your X'press Cooker without liquid: this could cause

serious damage.

•

Use compatible heat source(s).

•

Do not fill your X'press Cooker more than 2/3 full. For food that

expands during cooking, such as rice, dehydrated vegetables or ste-

wed fruit, do not fill the X'press Cooker more than halfway up the

side of the pan.

•

After cooking meat which has an outer layer of skin (such as ox

tongue), which could swell due to the effects of pressure, do not pier-

ce the skin after cooking if it appears swollen: you could get burnt.

Pierce it before cooking.

•

When cooking food with a thick texture (chick peas, rhubarb etc.) the

X'press Cooker should be shaken slightly before opening to ensure

that the food does not spurt out.

•

Always check that valves are clear before use.

•

Do not use the X'press Cooker to fry under pressure using oil.

•

Leave the safety systems alone, except for cleaning and maintenance

in accordance with instructions. In particular, never open the control

panel.

•

Use only the appropriate SEB/TEFAL spare parts for your model.

Keep these instructions
