1. Proper and Safe Operation of Electric Pressure Cookers
Add the Right Amount of Ingredients and Water to the Cooker
Never fill the electric pressure cooker to the brim with ingredients, as it may cause food to overflow through the steam vent during cooking. Additionally, ensure the water level is sufficient for optimal cooker performance, with a minimum requirement of 120ml.
For ingredients like vegetables, meat, and fish, fill about 2/3 of the cooker's capacity. For ingredients prone to foaming and expansion, such as beans and grains, limit the quantity to about 1/2 of the cooker's capacity.
Avoid overloading the cooker with ingredients
Ensure stable and safe power supply for your cooker
When using an electric pressure cooker, plug it into a dedicated power outlet, avoiding sharing the socket with other household appliances like air fryers, microwaves, ovens, induction cookers… as their operational power may interfere with each other. The risk of one or both devices suddenly stopping, or even more dangerously, causing a short circuit or explosion, exists.

Thoroughly inspect the cooker before cooking
Users should check the cooker before cooking to promptly detect any defects and ensure safety. Two crucial parts to thoroughly examine are the pressure release valve and the rubber gasket on the lid. These components play a vital role in controlling the cooker's pressure during cooking.
Ensure the rubber gasket on the lid is properly installed, without gaps, looseness, cracks, or breakage. The locking valve operates well, and the pressure release valve is free of food residue and dirt. Additionally, make sure the inner pot is hygienically clean, free from food stains, and the cooker's lid is not warped or cracked, and the outer shell is not dented or deformed.
Absolutely do not open the lid abruptly
To avoid unfortunate risks, never open the cooker's lid abruptly while it's in operation. This action could lead to the cooker exploding, releasing pressure and hot steam, causing burns. This is a crucial safety guideline when using an electric pressure cooker.
Modern electric pressure cookers are equipped with safety locks. If you cannot open the lid, it indicates that pressure inside the cooker hasn't been fully released. To open, cut the power to allow the cooker to depressurize automatically, or for a quicker release, pull the pressure release valve.

Do not use the inner pot on a gas stove
If, unfortunately, you experience a power outage while using an electric pressure cooker, absolutely do not use the inner pot on a gas stove. Cooking directly over an open flame can deform the pot, damage the non-stick coating, and result in malfunction. Instead, transfer the food to another regular pot to continue cooking.
Maintain cleanliness of the pot after each use
Proper usage of the electric pressure cooker involves cleaning the pot after each use. After cooking, remove all food, let the pot cool completely, then wash and dry it thoroughly. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Additionally, ensure to clean the lid, pressure release valve, and rubber gasket to prevent any food residue or dirt buildup.
Keeping the pot clean not only ensures hygiene but also contributes to its durability over time, ensuring safety for users.
Thoroughly clean all components of the pot
Store the pot in a dry, well-ventilated place
After thoroughly cleaning the electric pressure cooker, make sure all components are completely dry before reassembling and storing. Store the pot in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Note: If the pressure cooker is not used for an extended period, carefully inspect it before use to ensure it is undamaged for user safety.
