We are delighted that you have selected this quality product. To
guarantee both its safety and long service, this pressure cooker
is manufactured to extremely high standards, and only the best
materials are used. We hope you will obtain plenty of enjoyment
from its use.

This pressure cooker offers you many advantages:

The continuously-adjustable pressure regulator valve.

Instructions in recipes and cooking time tables can only ever be
guidelines. This is why we have developed a continuously-
adjustable pressure-regulator valve which you can set in any
position between 1 and 2. This has the advantage that,
according to size or amount of the food to be cooked, you can
set the pressure individually in the cooker using the valve.
Please see the cooking times table at the end of this instruction
booklet for basic settings.

Look after it well, and you will enjoy your pressure cooker for a
long, long time.

So please read these instructions carefully
and completely.

You will cook more healthily.

Your food will be prepared gently by cooking it for a shorter time
and in the oxygen-free steam. Every minute you save means a
saving of important vitamins, nutrients and minerals.

Your cooking will taste better. By cooking without oxygen, the
flavour and natural colouring of your vegetables will to a very
large extent be preserved.

You will cook more quickly, and save time and energy.

With this pressure cooker you will save up to 70% of the time
you have previously spent on cooking. And you will save energy,
up to 60% on dishes with a longer cooking time and between 30
and 40% on dishes with shorter cooking times.

You will also cook to a large extent without cooking smells and
cooking vapours.
