Safety and Warning Instructions for Zwilling Pressure Cooker

Important Safety Information

This document contains critical safety warnings for the operation of Zwilling pressure cookers. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury, burns, or fire. Always refer to the full user manual for detailed operating procedures.

General Safety Guidelines

• Never use the pressure cooker if safety functions are failing.
• Do not modify safety functions.
• If the pressure indicator, safety valve, or sealing ring are damaged, they must be replaced. Contact your Zwilling retailer or customer service directly.
• Never use the pressure cooker without sufficient liquid.

Operating Precautions

• Burns: Only touch the plastic components of the pressure cooker. Use oven gloves if necessary. Do not touch metal surfaces with bare hands after cooking, as they remain hot even after pressure reduction.
• Steam: Keep hands, head, and body away from the danger zone when releasing steam.
• Foaming Foods: When cooking foods that generate foam or expand (e.g., rice, legumes, dehydrated vegetables), fill the pot only to the halfway mark.

Frying Safety

• The frying basket must never be used in a closed pressure cooker under pressure.
• Frying is only permitted with a 6-litre pot volume.
• Use the frying basket only with the pressure cooker open or with a glass lid.

Maintenance

• Clean the pressure cooker thoroughly after every use to prevent food residues from clogging safety functions.
• If the pressure cooker is damaged or shows signs of malfunction during operation, immediately turn off the energy supply to the hob, allow it to cool, and remove it from the heat source. Do not attempt to repair the cooker yourself.
