• 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 pages 44-46 “Problem & Solutions”

section “The lid does not open once the

steam is released”.

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.

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.

• In browning 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.

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.
