WATCH BABYPHONE

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IN NO CASE CAN THIS PRODUCT REPLACE ADULT SUPERVISION OF A CHILD. Keep the transmitter and receiver away from children. Never place the transmitter in the childs bed or play pen. Place both devices away from sources of heat or water projection. Only use the adapter supplied with the device. Any other power source may damage the product. Do not use an extension cord Allow for space around the devices and the adapter for correct ventilation. The adapter must be easily accessible and the electric wire must be kept out of passageways and out of reach of children. Do not pull on the wire to disconnect. If not used for a long period of time, disconnect the transmitter and remove the batteries from the transmitter and receiver (for the WATCH BABYPHONE Model). When the transmitter batteries are down, replace all of them with new batteries. Never disassemble the devices. In compliance with the new regulations which no longer authorise continuous transmission of noise, the transmitter is only triggered by a minimum sound level. It is therefore normal that the receiver remain completely silent when the transmitter is on stand-by and when its green light is blinking.

SUPERVISING MODES There are two supervising modes : sound and visual (plus a vibrator function for the DIGITAL WATCH BABYPHONE model). Visual supervision : The 4 indicators light progressively when the device receives a transmission. They provide the amplitude of the noise transmitted. Sound supervision : The sound is adjusted using the + / buttons.

Selecting the channels

The transmission principle is that of radio waves; the two devices can only function if they are adjusted to the same channel. There are 3 different channels; select the channel which offers t h e b e s t r e c e p t i o n q u a l i t y, depending on the circumstances. If reception is poor or if you receive neighbouring noises, change the transmission channel of the receiver (at the back of the device) and that of the transmitter (under the device).
Supervising with the vibrator function : Only on the DIGITAL WATCH BABYPHONE model This function offers a supervising mode which is discrete under all circumstances. Press the button : it activates the vibrator function which appears on the screen. As soon as a sound is received, the device v i b ra t e s. To s t o p , p r e s s t h e button again. The maximum range is 400 m without obstacles. Like all devices which use radio waves, the range of the BABYPHONE depends on its environment, which is variably favourable to correct propagation of waves. Thus, in certain places, its range may be greatly reduced.

3 INSTRUCTIONS

BATTERIES Do not throw batteries into a fire. Batteries must be recycled. They must n o t b e t h r ow n i n trash cans, but put in recipients to this effect. For the DIGITAL WATCH BABYPHONE model Using batteries : The receiver is powered by rechargeable AAA type LR03 1.2 volt Ni Mh batteries. Only recharge the batteries with the adapter delivered with your device. Any other means of
charging may damage the device. D o n o t l e av e t h e b a t t e r i e s connected to the adapter at all times; overcharging may shorten their service life. Charging and discharging the batteries : New batteries only reach their maximum performance potential after having been charged and discharged completely two or three times. They may be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but they wear down with time. When the operating endurance is shorter than normal, you must purchase new batteries. If they remain unused, batteries discharge after a certain amount of time. Adapter Disconnect the adapter when not in use. The receiver may be used when it is being charged (except when using for the first time, when the device must be charged for approximately 12 hours before putting it into service). MAINTENANCE Use a slightly damp cloth without detergent. Do not allow any liquid to enter the inside of the devices.

TROUBLESHOOTING QUESTIONS There is no sound. ANSWERS Check that the device is turned on correctly (the indicators should be lit). At the transmitter level : check that the adapter is connected and that the power network is operating. Check that the sound volume of the receiver is not at minimum and that both devices are placed on the same channel. Reduce the distance between the transmitter and the receiver or move the receiver. Move the transmitter away from the receiver. Lower the volume of the receiver. Change the channel of the transmitter and the receiver. Make certain they are on the same channel. Reduce the distance between the transmitter and the receiver. Move the receiver (away from televisions, stereos, video recorders.). No transmission : check that the transmitter is in operation. Move closer to the transmitter (the sound signal will stop) since you moved out of the receiving field and were no longer in contact with your transmitter (lost the radio connection). Check that the transmitter and the receiver are on the same channel.

Important safeguards

Take the time to read all the instructions and refer to the "Instructions for use". As with any cooking appliance, supervise cooking closely if using the Pressure Cooker with children nearby. Do not put your Pressure Cooker into a hot oven. When the Pressure Cooker is under pressure, take great care when moving it. Do not touch the hot surfaces. Use the handles and knobs, and wear oven gloves if necessary. Do not use your Pressure Cooker for any use other than that for which it is designed. Your Pressure Cooker cooks under pressure. Burns could result from boiling over if not used properly. Make sure that the Pressure Cooker is properly closed before bringing it up to pressure. Never force the Pressure Cooker open. Make sure that the inside pressure has returned to normal. Never use your Pressure Cooker without liquid: this could cause serious damage. Use compatible heat sources. Do not fill your Pressure Cooker more than 2/3 full. For food that expands considerably during cooking, such as rice, dehydrated vegetables or compotes, do not fill the Pressure Cooker more than half full. After cooking meat which has an outer layer of skin (such as ox tongue), which could swell due to the effects of pressure, do not pierce the skin after cooking if it appears swollen: you could get burnt. Pierce it before cooking. When cooking food with a thick texture (chick peas, rhubarb etc.) the Pressure Cooker should be shaken slightly before opening to ensure that the food does not spurt out. Always check that valves are clear before use. Do not use the Pressure Cooker to fry under pressure using oil. Leave the safety systems alone, except for cleaning and maintenance in accordance with instructions. Use only genuine TEFAL spare parts for your model. Alcohol vapours are flammable. Watch your appliance when preparing alcohol-based recipes. Do not use your pressure cooker to store acidic or salty food before or after cooking. Make sure the pressure regulator valve is in the steam release position before opening the lid. This product is designed for domestic use only. Any commercial use, inappropriate use or failure to comply with the instructions, the manufacturer accepts no responsibility and the guarantee will not apply.

Golden rules when pressure cooking (for UK consumers)
The minimum quantity of liquid required for normal cooking is 250 ml (1/2 pint) for the first 1/4 hour cooking. For each additional 1/4 hour, or part of 1/4 hour, add a further 150 ml (1/4 pint) of liquid. For example, 45 minutes cooking requires 600 ml (1 pint) of liquid. Note: This is only a general guide. Certain foods, such as pulses, steamed puddings and Christmas puddings may require extra water (see text below). When steaming foods in the basket use a minimum of 750 ml (1 1/4 pint) water in the cooker. Always use a liquid that gives off steam when boiled e.g. water stock, wine, beer, cider, or milk. Never use oil or fat. All pressure cooking requires some liquid. Whatever the size of pressure cooker, the maximum filling level when all the ingredients and liquid have been added are: Solid foods e.g. vegetables, meat joints: no more than two-thirds full Liquids and cereals e.g. soups, stews, rice, cereal and pasta: no more than half full Pulses e.g. dried beans and dried peas: no more than one-third full When cooking pulses they swell up and tend to froth up. Use 2 pints (1.2 litres) water for every 450 g (1 lb) pre-soaked weight of pulses. Remember all dried peas and dried beans, must be soaked in boiling water for 1 hour before cooking. Drain, rinse thoroughly and cook in fresh water. Never eat uncooked beans or peas. Soaking is not necessary for red lentils. The high temperatures achieved in the pressure cooker ensure that any natural toxins in the pulses are destroyed. Canned beans and pulses can simply be drained and rinsed before adding to the pressure cooker. For steamed suet puddings, sponge puddings or Christmas puddings, a short pre-steaming time is best to enable the raising agent to activate and prevent a heavy, close texture. Extra liquid is required so use a minimum of 1 1/2 pint/900 ml of boiling water for a combined steaming and cooking time of up to 1 hour. For each additional 1/4 hour of cooking, or part of 1/4 hour, add a further 1/4 pint/150 ml of boiling water. Pre-steaming is done with the pressure regulator valve in the steam release position on a low heat for the required time. Then turn the pressure regulator to either or v ita m i n or or * and increase the heat to bring to full pressure. Reduce the heat and pressure cook for the required time. Never cook dumplings with the lid tightly closed, as they could rise up and block the safety devices. Cook the stew and at the end of cooking, release the steam and cook gently for about 10 - 15 minutes without the lid on. Pressure cooking times vary according to the size of individual pieces or thickness of the food, not the weight. To prevent discolouration of the interior, caused by mineral deposits in hard water areas, add a tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to the water. Cooking containers must withstand temperatures of 130C (250F). Any covering on containers, e.g. foil, greaseproof paper or cling film, must be securely tied otherwise they could block the safety devices. Do not use plastic lids as they prevent steam from being in contact with the food. Also, they could distort and come off during cooking which could block the safety outlets. Accurate timing is essential when pressure cooking to prevent overcooking, especially with vegetables, fruit and fish. If adapting a conventional recipe for pressure cooking, a general guide is to decrease the cooking time for a conventional recipe by two- third. For example, if the usual cooking time is 1 hour then the pressure cooking time will be 20 minutes. Calculate the amount of liquid required according to the pressure cooking time and type of food. The pressure cooker operates at 8 lb pressure (position or v ita m i n *) and 13 lb pressure (position or *). Use position or v ita m i n * for fresh vegetables and fruit. Use position or * for most foods including meat, poultry, fish and frozen vegetables.

* = When cooking pulses they swell up and tend to froth up so do not fill more than one-third full. Use 2 pints (1.2 litres) water for every 450 g (1 lb) pre-soaked weight of pulses. Remember all dried peas and dried beans, must be soaked in boiling water for 1 hour before cooking. Drain, rinse thoroughly and cook in fresh water. Never eat uncooked beans or peas. Soaking is not necessary for red lentils. The high temperatures achieved in the pressure cooker ensure that any natural toxins in the pulses are destroyed. Canned beans and pulses can simply be drained and rinsed before use in recipes. ** = When cooking rice, cereal or pasta, do not fill more than half full as it expands during cooking.
