– The product is intended for home use and similar (in shops, offices and similar
workplaces, in hotels, motels and other residential environments, in facilities
providing accommodation with breakfast). It is not intended for commercial use!
– This appliance is not intended for outdoor use.
– We recommend that you do not leave the appliance in operation without supervision and
supervise it for the entire time that food is being prepared!
– Do not use the cooking pot on its own without the pressure cooker (e.g. for preparing
meals on an electric/gas/induction/halogen stove or in a hot air/microwave/steam oven).
– Do not use the appliance for heating a room!
– Do not use the appliance with a program, time switch or any other part that turns the
appliance on automatically as there is a risk of fire if the appliance is not covered or placed
properly.
– Never immerse the appliance into water or wash it in running water, except for the
parts mentioned in the Maintenance chapter.
– Let the appliance cool down before maintenance or storing it.
– It is not allowed to modify the surface of the appliance in any way (e.g. using a self-
adhesive wallpaper, foils, etc.)!
– The steam line (i.e. safety valve B2, the pressure limit valve B3 and the protective cover
B8), which form a part of the lid and which enable steam to escape must always be kept
clean. At the same time regularly check their condition, whether they are blocked (e.g. by
food remains), worn out or damaged.
– Do not remove the lid of the pressure cooker until the pressure in the pressure cooker
declines (i.e. all the steam is released) and until the safety valve is in the down position.
– After finishing work, always switch off the appliance and disconnect it from power supply
by taking the power cord connector out of the electric socket.
– Do not switch on the pot without the inserted container or without inserted substances in
the pot.
– Water or any other liquid cannot get into the inner part of the pot, i.e. between the external
and the internal container.
– Do not insert an aluminium foil or anything else between the heating plate and the internal
container.
– Do not use the internal container independently without the pot (e.g. for preparing meals
on an electric / gas / /induction / halogen cooker or on open fire.
– Use plastic or wooden kitchen utensils for mixing and ladling meals as metal utensils may
damage the surface of the internal container.
– Do not insert the appliance into any body holes.
– Never put the appliance close to objects or under objects that can be damaged by steam,
e.g. walls, kitchen cabinets, cupboards, paintings or curtains. Leaking steam could damage
them.
– Do not use the appliance in the environment that is saturated with explosive or flammable
steams.
– Do not place the appliance on unstable, fragile and flammable surfaces (e.g. glass, paper
and plastic, varnished wooden plates and various fabrics/table cloths).
– Use the appliance in the working position only at places with no risk of its turning over and
in sufficient distance from heat sources (e.g. heater, electric/gas stove, cooker, etc.) and
wet surfaces ( sinks, wash basins, etc.).
– When cooking, do not touch places where hot steam is coming out; there is a risk of
burning and scalding.
