2. Instrucións de seguridade importantes

Cando se utilicen aparellos eléctricos, débense seguir sempre as precaucións básicas de seguridade para reducir o risco de incendios, descargas eléctricas e lesións ás persoas, incluíndo as seguintes:

• Lea atentamente todas as instrucións antes do uso.
• Non toque superficies quentes. Use asas ou botóns.
• Para protexerse contra descargas eléctricas, non mergulle o cable, os enchufes nin a unidade principal en auga ou noutro líquido.
• É necesaria unha estreita supervisión cando calquera aparello é usado por nenos ou preto de eles.
• Desenchufe da toma cando non estea en uso e antes de limpalo. Deixar arrefriar antes de poñer ou quitar pezas.
• Non faga funcionar ningún aparello cun cable ou enchufe danados, ou despois de que o aparello funcione mal ou teña dano dalgún xeito.
• O uso de accesorios non recomendados polo fabricante do aparello pode causar lesións.
• Non use ao aire libre.
• Non deixes que o cable colgue do bordo da mesa ou do mostrador nin toque superficies quentes.
• Non o coloque sobre ou preto dun queimador eléctrico ou de gas quente, nin nun forno quente.
• Débese ter moito coidado ao mover un aparello que conteña aceite quente ou outros líquidos quentes.
• Conecte sempre primeiro o enchufe ao electrodoméstico e, a seguir, o cable á toma de corrente. Para desconectalo, poña calquera control na posición de apagado e, a seguir, retire o enchufe da toma de corrente.
• Non use o aparello para outros usos que os previstos.
• Este electrodoméstico cociña a presión. O uso inadecuado pode provocar queimaduras. Asegúrese de que a unidade estea correctamente pechada antes de usala. Consulte as "Instrucións de funcionamento".
• Never force open the pressure cooker. Make sure internal pressure is completely reduced before opening. See "Operating Instructions".
• Do not fill the unit over 2/3 full. When cooking foods that expand during cooking, such as rice or dried vegetables, do not fill the unit over 1/2 full. Overfilling may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and developing excess pressure.
• Ten en conta que certos alimentos, como a compota de mazá, os arandos, a cebada perlada, a avea ou outros cereais, os chícharos partidos, os fideos, os macarróns, o ruibarbo ou os espaguetis poden facer escuma, escumar e chisporrotear, e obstruír o dispositivo de liberación de presión. Estes alimentos non se deben cociñar nunha olla a presión.
• Comprobe sempre que o dispositivo de liberación de presión se obstruya antes do uso.
• After cooking, when the pressure has been released, wait for a few seconds for the steam to dissipate before opening the lid.
