importat safeguards Whe usig this electrical appliace, safety precautios must always be observed, icludig the followig: A Pressure Cooker is very safe whe used properly. Read all of The istructios before use. Close adult supervisio must be provided whe this appliace is used by or ear childre. Keep pressure cooker out of the reach of childre. This appliace is ot iteded for use by persos (icludig childre) with reduced physical, sesory or metal capabilities, or lack of experiece ad kowledge, uless they have bee give supervisio or istructio cocerig use of the appliace by a perso resposible for their safety. Childre should be supervised to esure that they do ot play with the appliace. The pressure cooker has a polarized AC (Alteratig Curret) plug (oe blade is wider tha the other). This plug will fit i a polarized outlet oly oe way, as a safety feature. Reverse the plug if the plug does ot fit fully i the outlet. Cotact a qualified electricia if it still does ot fit. Do ot attempt to defeat this safety feature. Short power cord should be used to reduce the risk resultig from becomig etagled i or trippig over a loger cord. If a loger extesio cord is used, the marked electrical ratig of the extesio cord should be at least as great as the electrical ratig of the appliace, ad the cord should be arraged so that it will ot drape over the coutertop or tabletop where it ca be pulled o by childre or tripped over uitetioally. Do ot operate with a damaged cord or plug. If the appliace is ot workig as it should, has bee dropped or damaged, left outdoors or dropped ito water, do ot use it ad retur it to the maufacturer for proper service, repair, or replacemet. Do ot let cord hag over the edge of the table or couter, or touch hot surfaces. Do ot place ear hot gas or electric burer, or i a heated ove. Always use i a well vetilated area. For idoor use oly. The pressure cooker is for household use oly. The pressure cooker should ot be used for other tha the iteded use. Do ot cover the appliace or have it ear flammable material icludig curtais, draperies, walls, ad the like whe i operatio. Do ot cover the pressure valves with aythig. A explosio may occur. Do ot use without the removable cookig pot i place. This will 25 reduce the risk of electrical shock. 2
do ot fill the pressure cooker more tha 1 /2 full with food or 2 /3 full with liquid. Whe cookig foods that expad durig cookig do ot fill the uit over 1 /2 full. Whe cookig food uder pressure, at least 1 1 /2 cup (12 oz.) of liquid must be used. Foods such as applesauce, craberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or other cereals, split peas, oodles ad pasta, or rhubarb should ot be cooked uder pressure i the pressure cooker. These foods ted to foam, froth ad sputter, ad may block the floatig valve. The exterior ad the lid become hot durig use. Do ot touch hot surfaces. Use hadles or kobs. WaRig: Keep hads ad face away from pressure regulator kob whe releasig pressure. While the uit is i operatio, ever remove the lid. Do ot pick up regulator kob whe ier tak full of pressure. To reduce the risk of electric shock, cook oly i removable cotaier. After cookig, use extreme cautio whe removig the lid. Serious burs ca result from iside the uit. CauTio: Whe removig the lid, there could be a suctio created betwee the ier pot ad lid. Extreme cautio should be used whe movig ay appliace cotaiig hot food or liquid. Do ot attempt to dislodge food whe the appliace is plugged i. CauTio: Perishable foods such as meat ad poultry products, fish, cheese ad dairy products caot be left at room temperature for more tha 2 hours. (No loger tha 1 hour whe the room temperature is above 90 F). Whe cookig these foods, do ot set the delay time fuctio for more tha 1-2 hours. dager: Never deep fry or pressure fry i the pressure cooker. It is dagerous ad may cause a fire ad serious damage. Usig attachmets ot recommeded or sold by the maufacturer may cause hazards. Make sure appliace is off before upluggig from wall outlet. Always uplug before cleaig. Allow to cool before puttig o or takig off parts. To protect agaist electrical shock, do ot immerse plug, cord or housig i water or ay other liquid. Servicig or repair should oly be completed by a qualified techicia. dager: Do ot lift the uit with cover hadle, use side hadles oly. save These istructios stadium Chili Servigs: 10-12 Prep Time: 25 miutes, plus bea presoakig time Cookig Time: 15 miutes uder pressure Igrediets 2 cups (1 lb.) pito beas, picked over 4 tbsp. olive oil 1 1 /2 cups oio, chopped 2 cloves garlic, miced 1 1 /2 cups gree bell pepper, cored, seeded ad chopped 1 1 /2 cups red bell pepper, cored, seeded ad chopped 1 jalapeo pepper, cored, seeded ad chopped (adjust as eeded) 1 1 /2 cups carrots, peeled ad chopped 1 1 /2 cup celery, chopped 2 1 /2 tbsp. chili powder 4 tsp. groud cumi 2 tsp. groud oregao 2 1 /2 lbs. lea groud beef 1 ca (28 oz) crushed tomatoes 2 large bay leaves 1 3 /4 cups water Salt to taste 4 cups cooked white rice for servig Shredded cheddar cheese for servig Method 1.
