2. Salvaguardes importants

Quan feu servir aparells elèctrics, sempre s'han de seguir les precaucions bàsiques de seguretat:

• Llegiu totes les instruccions abans d’utilitzar l’aparell.
• No toqueu superfícies calentes. Utilitzeu nanses o poms.
• Per protegir-vos contra les descàrregues elèctriques, no submergiu el cable, els endolls ni la unitat principal en aigua ni en altres líquids.
• És necessària una supervisió estreta quan qualsevol aparell és utilitzat per o a prop dels nens.
• Desendolleu la presa de corrent quan no utilitzeu i abans de netejar. Deixeu refredar abans de posar o treure peces.
• No feu servir cap aparell amb un cable o un endoll danyats, o després que l'aparell funcioni malament o s'hagi fet malbé de cap manera.
• No utilitzar a l'aire lliure.
• No deixeu que el cable pengi de la vora d'una taula o taulell, ni toqui superfícies calentes.
• No col·loqueu-lo sobre o prop d'un cremador de gas o elèctric calent, ni en un forn calent.
• Cal extremar la precaució quan es mou un aparell que contingui oli calent o altres líquids calents.
• Connecteu sempre primer l'endoll a l'aparell i després el cable a la presa de corrent. Per desconnectar-lo, gireu qualsevol control a la posició "off" i, a continuació, retireu l'endoll de la presa de corrent.
• No utilitzeu l'aparell per a un altre ús que el previst.
• Aquest aparell cuina a pressió. Un ús inadequat pot provocar lesions per escaldaments. Assegureu-vos que la unitat estigui ben tancada abans d'utilitzar-la.
• Never force open the pressure cooker. Make sure the internal pressure is completely released before opening.
• No ompliu la unitat més de 2/3 de la seva capacitat. Quan cuineu aliments que s'expandeixen durant la cocció, com ara arròs o verdures seques, no ompliu la unitat més de la meitat.
• Do not pull the steam release valve by hand when the pressure cooker has just finished cooking, as it will be hot. Use a utensil to turn it.
• To release pressure, turn the steam release valve clockwise to the 'Venting' position.
• Remove the sealing ring and wash it separately, along with the lid and inner pot, to ensure proper cleaning.
• To prevent food from blocking the vent, follow the instruction manual to determine the appropriate food quantity. Avoid overfilling the pot.

Do not use your hand directly. Once the float valve drops, all pressure has been released, and the lid can be opened.
