Wolfgang Puck Electric Pressure Cooker / Stockpot Use and Care 5QPressureCookerMan08 6/5/08 12:12 PM Page 1 IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using pressure cookers, basic safety precautions should always be followed: 1 Read all instructions carefully. 2 Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs and a potholder. 3 Do not close or clog the safety valves under any circumstance. 4 To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put power cord, plug or body of the appliance in water or other liquid. 5 Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. 6 Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts. 7 Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to an authorized service facility for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment. 8 Do not fill the unit over 2/3 full. When cooking foods that expand during cooking such as rice or dried vegetables, do not fill the unit over 1/2 full. Over filling may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and developing excess pressure. See “Using Your Pressure Cooker” section of this manual. 9 Be aware that certain foods, such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or other cereals, split peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, or spaghetti can foam, froth, and sputter, and clog the pressure release device (steam vent). These foods should not be cooked in a pressure cooker. 10 The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or injury. 11 Do not use outdoors. 12 Do not place the appliance on or near hot gas or electric burners, or in a heated oven. 13 Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces, including the stove. 14 Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot contents or liquids. 15 This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding injury. Make certain unit is properly closed before operating. See “Using Your Pressure Cooker” section of this manual. 16 Do not use this appliance for other than intended use. 17 To reduce the risk or electric shock, cook only in removable container. 18 Always attach power cord to appliance first, and then plug cord into wall outlet. To disconnect, turn unit off, grasp plug, and pull from the wall. Never yank on cord. 19 Always check the pressure release devices for clogging before use. 1 20 Do not open the pressure cooker until has cooled and internal pressure has been released. If the lid is difficult to open, this indicates that the cooker is still pressurized - do not force it open. Any pressure in the cooker can be hazardous. See “Using Your Pressure Cooker” section of this manual. 21 Do not operate this appliance in the presence of explosives and/or flammable fumes. 22 Do not use pressure cooking for pressure frying with oil.

The plug must be plugged into an outlet which is properly installed and grounded. Warning: Improper use of the grounded cord can result in the risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if necessary. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature by modifying plug. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, it should be positioned such that it does not drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over and: A. Use only 3-prong extension cord with 3-blade grounding plug. B. The marked rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater then the rating of this appliance. The electrical rating is listed on the bottom of this unit. Before Your First Use Carefully unpack the pressure cooker and parts, and remove all packaging materials.
