SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

GROUNDED PLUG: As a safety feature, this appliance is equipped with a grounded plug, which will only fit into a three-prong outlet. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. Improper connection of the grounding conductor may result in the risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: A short power supply cord used to reduce the risk resulting from it being grabbed by children, becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord.

DO NOT alter the plug. DO NOT attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug.

BUILT-IN SAFETY MECHANISMS

1 2 3 4 5 6 7

1. Automatic temperature control: Appliance will automatically stop heating, if the cooking pot is missing / empty or operating without enough liquids.

2. Automatic pressure control: If the internal pressure exceeds maximum pressure value, the appliance will automatically start releasing pressure through the pressure release valve.

3. Extreme pressure protection: If the automatic temperature and pressure control safety devices become invalid and the pressure inside the pot reaches maximum value, the appliance will automatically start releasing pressure from the lid.

4. Anti-blocking steam vent device: A specially designed cover avoids food particles from blocking the pressure release valve (under the lid) while in operation and ensure steam exhausts smoothly during the cooking process.

5. Overheat safety device: The appliance will automatically disconnect if excessive temperature is build up inside the cooking pot.

6. Special safety lid mechanism: The appliance is equipped with a locking lid mechanism that prevents the appliance from operating if lid is not properly locked. Locking mechanism also prevent the lid from opening when appliance is pressurized.

7. Extreme pressure control: The appliance will automatically disconnect if it reaches extreme pressure level.
