    Note:a) If you overll, the ingredients may touch the mesh assembly which

    may lead to malfunctioning of the safety system. Ensure meshassembly is rmly pressed in position, and is not clogged.

    b) The amount of water that is added for cooking in the MicrowavePressure Cooker is important. If excess water is added for cooking, thepressure cooker is so designed that the gasket may release the excesswater inside the Microwave Oven. While this is not dangerous, it stillwill make a mess inside the Oven.

    If the recipe calls for excess water like soups, it is advisable to cookwith less water in the Microwave Pressure Cooker and add the watersubsequently.

    3. Place the gasket in position. Close the lid by aligning the arrows onthelidopening/closingAidandbodyopening/closingAid,turnthelid clockwise until thelid opening /closingAidcomes above thebodyopening/closingAid.Ensurethesplashguardispressedrmlyinposition.
