SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of

experience and knowledge if they have been given

supervision or instruction concerning use of the

appliance in a safe way and if they understand the

hazards involved.

• Children shall not play with the appliance.

• Place the appliance on a flat stable, heatproof work

surface, away from any water splashes or any sources

of heat.

• Never place or use the appliance close to a wall or

below a wall cupboard as the steam produced by the

appliance can cause damage.

• Do not place your appliance near a heat source in

operation (hob, household appliance, etc.).

• Do not fill your appliance to more than the MAX

mark on the bowl. Do not fill it more than half full for

food that expands during cooking, such as rice, dried

vegetables. Reduce the volume of water to avoid the

risk of boiling over.

• When in operation, never leave the appliance

unattended.

• Please follow the recommendations on the volume of

food and water to avoid the risk of boiling over which

can damage your appliance and cause injury.

• Before using your appliance, check that the

manometric rod and the safety valve are clean

(see section Cleaning and maintenance).

• Do not place any foreign objects in the pressure

release system. Do not replace any of the safety

device yourself.

• When you open the lid, first unlock it by holding the

lid open/close handle. Then position your arms in

alignment with the side carrying handles, hold each

side lid handle with your hands and raise the lid.

• Be careful also about the risk of scalding from the

steam coming out of the appliance when you open

the lid. First open the lid very slightly to allow the

steam to escape gently.

• Never force the appliance open. Make sure that the

inside pressure has returned to normal. Do not open

the lid when the appliance is under pressure. To do so,

see page 50 «Problem & Solutions» section «The lid

does not open once the steam is released».

• Use only the appropriate spare parts for your model.

This is particularly important for the sealing gasket,

the cooking bowl and its safety devices.

• Do not damage the sealing gasket. If it is damaged,

have it replaced in an Approved Service Centre.

• The heat source necessary for cooking is included in

the appliance.

• Do not place the appliance in a heated oven or on a

hot hob. Do not place the appliance close to an open

flame or a flammable object.

• Do not heat the cooking bowl with any other heat

source than the heating plate of the appliance and

do not use any other bowl. Do not use the cooking

bowl with other appliances.

• Move the appliance with great care when it is under

pressure. Do not touch the hot surfaces.

Use the carrying handles when moving it and wear

oven gloves, if necessary. Do not use the lid handle to

lift the appliance.

• Do not use the appliance for other than the intended

purpose.

• This appliance is not a steriliser. Do not use it to

sterilise jars.

• The appliance cooks food under pressure, in two

different modes: low pressure (40 kPa, i.e. 109°C) or

high pressure (70 kPa, i.e. 115°C). Incorrect use may

cause risks of burns due to steam.

• Make sure that the appliance is properly closed before

bringing it up to pressure (see Instructions for use).

• Do not use the appliance empty, without its bowl

or without liquid inside the bowl if using a mode

cooking under pressure. This could cause serious

damage to the appliance.

• 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 pierce 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, compotes, etc.), shake the appliance slightly

before opening it to ensure that the food or cooking

juices do not spurt out.

• Do not use the appliance to deep fry food in oil. Only

browning is allowed.

• When browning food using the classic cooking mode,

be careful of risks of burns caused by spattering when

you add food or ingredients into the hot bowl.

• During cooking and automatic steam release at the

end of cooking, the appliance releases heat and

steam. Keep your face and hands away from the

appliance to avoid scalding. Do not touch the lid

during cooking.

• Do not use a cloth or anything else between the

lid and the housing to leave the lid ajar. This can

permanently damage the gasket.

• Do not touch the safety devices, except while

cleaning and maintaining the appliance in

accordance with the instructions given.

• Make sure that the bottom of the cooking bowl and

the heating element are always clean. Make sure that

the central part of the heating plate is mobile.

• Do not fill up the interior body of your appliance

without its cooking bowl.

• Use a plastic or wooden spoon to prevent any

damage to the non-stick coating of the bowl. Do not

cut food directly in the cooking bowl.

• If a great deal of steam is released from the rim of the

lid, unplug the power cord at once and check whether

the safety devices are clean. If necessary, send the

appliance to an Approved Service Centre for repair.

• Do not carry the appliance by holding it by the

handles of the removable bowl. Always use the two

side handles on the housing of the appliance. Wear

oven gloves if the appliance is hot. For more safety,

make sure that the lid is locked before transporting

the appliance.

• If pressure is released continuously through the valve

of the appliance (for more than 1 minute) while

pressure cooking, send the appliance to a Approved

Service Centre for repair.

• Do not use a damaged appliance. Take it to your

Approved Service Centre.

• The guarantee does not cover the normal wear and

tear of the cooking bowl.

• In accordance with current regulations, before

disposing of an appliance no longer needed,

the appliance must be rendered inoperative (by

unplugging it and cutting off the supply cord).

• Use only spare parts sold in an Approved Service Centre.
