1. Place the appliance on a flat, heat resistant and stable surface.
2. Before using your appliance, always check the lid to be sure the sealing gasket
and regulator filter are clean and positioned correctly. (see Care and Cleaning
section). Ensure gasket is not damaged or broken. If damaged, do not use the
pressure cooker and contact customer service 1-800-288-4545 for replacement.
3. To open the lid, grasp handle and turn until it stops, then lift to remove.
4. Place desired foods into cooking pot.
 NOTE: The total volume of food and liquid must not exceed 60% of the
capacity of the cooking pot. For foods such as dried vegetables and beans, or rice
and grains, the total volume must not exceed 50% capacity. Overfilling may clog
the pressure limit valve, which can cause excess pressure to develop. Always use
at least 2 cups liquid when pressure cooking.
