— Read all the instructions.
— Do not let children near the pressure
cooker when in use.
— Do not put the pressure cooker into a
heated oven.
— Move the pressure cooker under pres-
sure with the greatest care. Do not
touch hot surfaces. Use the handles and
knobs. If necessary, use protection.
— Do not use the pressure cooker for a
purpose other than the one for which it
is intended.
— This pressure cooker cooks under pres-
sure. Scalds may result from inappropri-
ate use of the pressure cooker. Make
sure that the pressure cooker is properly
closed before applying heat. See section
"Instructions for use".
— Never force open the pressure cooker.
Do not open before making sure that
its internal pressure has completely
dropped. See section "Instructions for
use".
— Never use your pressure cooker without
adding water, this would seriously dam-
age it.
— Do not ll the pressure cooker above
2/3 of its capacity (see “MAX” mark in-
side the pot). When cooking food that
expands during cooking, such as rice or
dehydrated vegetables, do not ll the
pressure cooker above ½ of its capacity
(see “½” mark inside the pot).
— Use the appropriate heat sources ac-
cording to the instructions for use.
— After cooking meat with a skin (e.g.
ox tongue) which may swell under the
effect of pressure, do not prick the
meat while the skin is swollen; hot wa-
ter could squirt out and you might be
scalded.
— When cooking doughy food, gently
shake the pressure cooker before open-
ing the lid to avoid food ejection.
— Before each use, check that the valves
are not obstructed. See section "Instruc-
tions for use”.
— Never use the pressure cooker in its
pressurised mode for deep or shallow
frying of food.
— Do not tamper with any of the safety
systems beyond the maintenance in-
structions specied in the instructions
for use.
— Only use manufacturer’s spare parts in
accordance with the relevant model. If
you have any questions, please contact
your nearest IKEA store/Customer ser-
vice or see www.ikea.com.
— KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

4. Safety information
— The pressure cooker comes with a pres-
sure regulator in the lid which keeps the
desired pressure setting constant.
— Several safety systems ensure that your
pressure cooker will function safely,
even in the event of a technical fault.
The pressure regulator 3 ensures the
pressure remains constant within the
pressure cooker. It is possible that some
steam may continuously escape during
use. In the pressure regulator 3 there
is an additional pressure control valve
that releases the excess pressure via the
safety opening 2 if the pressure regula-
tor malfunctions. Should both the pres-
sure regulator 3 and the pressure con-
trol valve malfunction, the excess pres-
sure can also escape via the safety valve
