oil, hot food, or hot liquids, or
if the cooker is under pressure.
Improper use, including moving
the cooker, may result in personal
injury. When using this appliance
to pressure cook, ensure the lid is
properly assembled and locked
into position before use.
37 Caution should be used when
searing meats and sautéing in hot
oil. Keep hands and face away
from the removable cooking
pot, especially when adding new
ingredients, as hot oil may splatter.
38 When unit is in operation, hot
steam is released through the air
socket vent. Place unit so vent is
not directed toward the power
cord, sockets, or other appliances.
Keep your hands and face at a
safe distance from vent.

remove the red float valve or
pressure release assembly.
40 When using SLOW COOK or
SEAR/SAUTÉ settings, ALWAYS
keep the pressure lid closed and
the pressure release valve in the
VENT position. If the lid is closed

in the SEAL position, an audible
alarm will sound. “VENT” error
code will appear on LED display

pressure release valve to the
VENT position.
41 When using the PRESSURE COOK
setting, ALWAYS keep the pressure
lid locked and the pressure release
valve turned anticlockwise to the

with the releasing steam to avoid
burns or injury. When the steam is
completely released, the red float
valve will be in the lower position
allowing the lid to be removed.

lift and tilt the lid away from you
when removing.
