FISSLER BLUE-POINT
1. IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
• Read all instructions carefully before
using our pressure cooker for the first
time. Do not permit persons who are
not familiar with the instructions for
use to use the cooker. When giving the
cooker to another person, always
include the instructions for use.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use han-
dles or knobs.
• Close supervision is necessary when
the pressure cooker is used near chil-
dren.
• Do not place the pressure cooker in a
heated oven as this would destroy the
plastic and rubber parts and safety
mechanism.
• Extreme caution must be used when
moving a pressure cooker containing
hot liquids.
• Do not use the pressure cooker for
other than intended use, those stated
in the instructions.
• This appliance cooks under pressure.
Improper use may result in scalding
injury. Make certain unit is properly
closed before operating. See “Chapter
7”. Never use your pressure cooker
when the lid is not firmly closed!
• Do not fill the unit over 2/3 full. When
cooking foods that expand during
cooking such as rice or dried vegeta-
bles, do not fill over 1/2 full. Over fill-
ing may cause a risk of clogging the
vent pipe and developing excess pres-
sure. Use the fill level indicator and
observe “Chapter 7”.
• Be aware that certain foods, such as
applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley,
oatmeal or other cereals, split peas,
noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, or
spaghetti can foam, froth, and sputter,
and clog the pressure release device
(steam vent). These foods should not
be cooked in a pressure cooker.
• Always check the pressure release
devices for clogging or other damage
before use. See “Chapter 7”.
• Do not open the pressure cooker until
the unit has cooled and all internal
pressure has been released. If the han-
dles are difficult to push apart, this
indicates that the cooker is still pres-
surized – do not force to open. Any
pressure in the cooker can be haz-
ardous. See “Chapter 8”.
