Cuisinart CPC-600A User Manual

When using electrical appliances, basic 
safety precautions should always be 
followed including the following:

  1. Read all instructions.

  2. Do not touch hot surfaces of pressure 

cooker. Use handles only.

  3. This appliance should not be used 

by or near children or individuals with 
certain disabilities.

 4. 

NEVER ATTEMPT TO OPEN LID 
WHILE THE UNIT IS OPERATING.
Do not open the pressure cooker until 
the unit has cooled and all internal 
pressure has been released. If lid is 
difficult to rotate, this indicates that 
the cooker is still pressurized. Do not 
force it to open. Any pressure in the 
cooker can be hazardous. See 
Operating Instructions, page 5.

  5. Do not place the pressure cooker in a 

heated oven or on any stovetop.

  6. Extreme caution must be used when 

moving a pressure cooker containing 
hot liquids or foods.

  7. Do not use the pressure cooker for 

other than intended use.

  8. This appliance cooks under pressure. 

Improper use may result in scalding 
injury. Make certain unit is properly 
closed before operating. See

 9. 

Do not fill unit over 

3

⁄

5

 full. When cooking 

foods that expand during cooking, such 
as dried vegetables, legumes, beans, 
and grains, do not fill the unit over ½ 
full. Overfilling may cause a risk of 
clogging the pressure limit valve and 
developing excess pressure.

  10. To protect against electrical shock, 

do not immerse cord, plugs, or outer 
vessel in water or other liquids.

  11. Unplug from outlet when not in use 

and before cleaning. Allow to cool 
before putting on or removing parts.

  12. Do not operate any appliance with a 

damaged cord or plug or after the 

appliance malfunctions or has been 
damaged in any manner. 

 13. Do not let cord hang over edge of 

table or counter, or touch hot surfaces. 

  14. Use of accessories not specifically 

recommended by Cuisinart may 
cause damage to unit.

  15. Do not use outdoors.

  16. Do not use under hanging cabinets; 

steam from pressure release may 
cause damage.

  17. Always attach plug to appliance first, 

before plugging into wall outlet. To 
disconnect, turn control to off, then 
remove plug from outlet.

  18. Be aware that certain foods, such as 

applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, 
oatmeal and other cereals, split peas, 
noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, or 
spaghetti can foam, froth and sputter, 
and clog the pressure release
