3-PRONG GROUNDED TYPE PLUG
This appliance is equipped with a grounded type 3-wire cord (3-prong plug).
This plug will only fit into an electrical outlet made for a 3-prong plug. This is
a safety feature. If the plug should fail to fit the outlet, contact an electrician
to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose
of the Grounding Pin part of the 3-prong plug.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available
and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a longer detachable power-supply or extension cord is used, (1) the
marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least
as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and (2) the cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it
can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
The extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
ELECTRIC POWER
If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance may
not operate. It should be operated on a separate electrical circuit.
CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers to migrate from the finish of the counter
top or table top or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coasters or place-
mats between the appliance and the finish of the counter top or table top.
Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken, permanent blemish-
es may occur or stains can appear.

RISOTTO WITH SMOKED MOZZARELLA AND
SUN-DRIED TOMATOES (4 minutes, high pressure)
Risotto normally takes about a half hour of constant stirring to prepare in the
conventional way, but in the pressure cooker it's done in just a few minutes.
This sophisticated Italian rice dish makes a fine substitute for pasta.
1 tablespoon olive oil (or use oil from sun-dried tomatoes)
3/4 cup chopped shallots or onions
2 cups Arborio rice (see Cook's Notes below)
2/3 cup dry white wine or vermouth
4 1/2 to 5 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
6 ounces smoked mozzarella, grated (about 1 1/4 cups tightly packed)
2/3 cup coarsely chopped sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed)
3 tablespoons chopped parsley
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Garnish: chopped parsley
1. Press BROWN and START. Heat oil in cooker and cook shallots for 1
minute. Stir in rice, taking care to coat grains with oil.
2. Add wine and cook until most of it evaporates.
3. Stir in 4 1/2 cups broth.
4. Pull lid handles apart and set lid on cooker. Slide safety lock to LOCK
position. Point pressure regulator knob to PRESSURE.
5. Set pressure mode for HIGH and cook time for 4 MINUTES. Press START.
6. When cooker beeps three times, STOP light will illuminate. Quick-release
any remaining pressure by holding down Quick Steam Release Button until
red Pressure Indicator Rod drops.
7. Slide safety lock to UNLOCK. Pull handles apart and remove lid.
8. Press BROWN and START. Stir risotto vigorously as it boils until rice is
tender but still chewy. If the mixture becomes dry, gradually add more
broth as needed. (Risotto should be slightly soupy.) Stir in mozzarella, sun-
dried tomatoes and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
9. Ladle into large, shallow pasta or soup bowls. Garnish individual portions
with parsley, and serve immediately.
Cook's Notes: Arborio is a plump Italian short-grain white rice traditionally
used to make risotto. It is available in gourmet shops and many supermarkets.
Carnaroli and Maratelli are two other types that may be substituted.
