Select the desired cooking level with the help of the pressure
regulator valve:
Position 1:
Gentle cooking at about 110
°
C / 0.6 bar.
For steaming and stewing more delicate
foods such as vegetables, fish, fruit etc.
Position 2:
Fast cooking at about 120
°
C / 1.0 bar.
For cooking and browning e.g. meat,
soups, stews, brown rice etc.
Place the pressure cooker with preset cooking setting on the
correct source of heat, and turn this up to full power.
As soon as the pressure indicator becomes
visible, it will still take a few minutes until
the working pressure is reached and the
cooker is correctly sealed. When working
pressure is reached, the regulator valve
releases steam continuously so that no
excess pressure can build up.
Only at this point should the source of heat be turned down.
In this way, you avoid unnecessary consumption of energy
and the risk of the cooker boiling dry.
The actual cooking time starts at this moment.

Cooking with the pressure cooker:
Fill the pan with sufficient liquid to
generate the necessary steam
(water, sauce or stock).
WARNING: always add adequate
liquid. NEVER let the pressure
cooker “cook dry”.
Now add the food to be cooked. Maximum 1/2 full for foods that
swell or tend to foam up. Maximum 2/3 full for all other cooking.
Please observe the filler scale inside the pot.
Please check that there is adequate space between the food to
be cooked and the lid with safety valves.
Caution:
So that the base of the cooker is not attacked by salt, you
should only add salt to water
which is already boiling, and
stir it gently.
Now put the lid on the cooker.
With the new one -hand
opening-/closing system
you
can put the lid on the pot in
each position. For this purpose
place the lid on the pressure
cooker by pressing the 2
buttons of the one-hand closing system. Press lid on pot.
Release the buttons and you will hear the 2 locking blocks close.
