IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Read all instructions carefully.

Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs and a potholder. 

Do not close or clog the Vent Pipe under any circumstance. 

To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put power cord, plug 

or body of the appliance in water or other liquid. 

Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near 

children. 

Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool 

before putting on or taking off parts.

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. 

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. 

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 and Vent Pipe. These foods should not be cooked in a pressure 

cooker.

The use of attachments not recommended or sold by W.P. Appliances, 

Inc. may cause fire, electric shock, or injury.

Do not use outdoors. 

Do not place the appliance on or near hot gas or electric burners, or in a 

heated oven.

Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot 

surfaces, including the stove.

Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing 

hot contents or liquids.

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.

Do not use this appliance for other than intended use.

To reduce the risk or electric shock, cook only in removable cooking pot.

Always attach power cord to appliance first, then plug cord into wall 

outlet. To disconnect, turn timer dial to Keep Warm and unplug from wall 

outlet. Grasp plug, and pull from the wall. Never yank on cord.

Always check the Pressure Release Valve for clogging before use and 

Red Float Valve for food residue or particles.

Do not open the pressure cooker until unit 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.

Do not operate this appliance in the presence of explosives and/or 

flammable fumes.

Do not use pressure cooking for pressure frying with oil.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS: This appliance must be grounded. It is 

equipped with a 3-prong cord having a grounded plug. 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 long 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:

Carefully unpack the pressure cooker and parts, and remove all packaging 

materials. Clean the pressure cooker according to the Care and Cleaning 

section of this manual.

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  

     than the rating of this appliance. The electrical rating is listed on the   

     bottom of this unit.
