BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST At Breville we are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with the safety of you, our valued customer, foremost in mind. In addition we ask that you exercise a degree of care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions. IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE AND SAVE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE • Remove and safely discard any packaging material and promotional labels before use.
BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST • Do not place this appliance on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or where it could touch a heated oven. • Do not operate the appliance on a sink drain board. • We recommend not to place the cooker on a stone bench top when it’s cooking. This is due to bench tops being sensitive to uneven heat and may crack if heated locally. If you would like to cook with the slow cooker on the bench top, place a chopping board or heat proof mat underneath the cooker.
BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST • Do not exceed maximum fill level. Some foods expand during pressure cooking such as rice, diced vegetables. Over filling may cause a risk of clogging pressure release valve and safety locking pin and develop excess pressure. Always follow the maximum and minimum quantities of liquid stated in instructions and recipes.
BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS FOR ALL ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES • Unwind the power cord fully before use. • Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of a bench or table, touch hot surfaces or become knotted. • Connect only to a 230V or 240V power outlet. • To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the power cord, power plug or appliance in water or any other liquid.
BREVILLE RECOMMENDS SAFETY FIRST • It is recommended to regularly inspect the appliance. Do not use the appliance if the power cord, power plug or appliance becomes damaged in any way. Return the entire appliance to the nearest authorised Breville Service Centre for examination and/ or repair. • Any maintenance, other than cleaning, should be performed at an authorised Breville Service Centre. • The use of attachments not sold or recommended by Breville may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
