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.

barley, oatmeal or other cereals, split peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb,
or spaghetti can foam, froth, and sputter, and clog the Pressure Release
