5. Do not cover the Pressure Valves with anything as an
explosion may occur.
6. Do not touch the Removable Cooking Pot, any removable

3-PRONG GROUNDED TYPE PLUG
This appliance is equipped with a grounded type 3-wire cord
(3-prong plug). This plug will only fit into an electrical outlet made
for a 3-prong plug. This is a safety feature. If the plug should fail to
fit the outlet, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.
Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the Grounding Pin
part of the 3-prong plug.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting
from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are
available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a longer detachable power-supply or extension cord is used, (1)
the marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should
be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and (2)
the cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over unintentionally.
If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should
be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
