Instruccions importants de seguretat

WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions can result in serious injury or damage to the product.

• Do not arbitrarily change or tamper with any safety functions or components of the pressure cooker.
• Before heating, always ensure the pressure cooker lid is correctly closed and securely locked.
• Never use the pressure cooker without sufficient liquid. Ensure that the liquid inside the pot does not completely evaporate during cooking. Avoid dry heating or heating only solid food, as this can cause damage to the pressure cooker or your stove.
• Do not heat edible fats, cooking oils, or beverages containing high alcohol content in the pressure cooker while it is under pressure.
• Never force open the pressure cooker at any time. Ensure the lid remains locked until the pressure inside the pot is completely released and the safety valve is fully lowered.
• Always adhere to the specified filling capacities: The minimum fill level is 1/3 of the pot's capacity, and the maximum is 2/3. When cooking ingredients that tend to foam or boil vigorously (e.g., rice, dried vegetables), fill to a maximum of half full.
• To prevent the pot body from blackening, especially when using open flames, ensure the flame does not extend beyond the bottom of the pot. Cook with medium to low heat.
