Before first using the pressure cooker, please read these
instructions thoroughly.
If you have cooked meat with the skin on which is swollen after
cooking, do not pierce it but let it go down. Otherwise you might
burn yourself.
You should not pressure cook foods which tend to cause
foaming, such as apple purée, rhubarb, spaghetti, rolled oats or
other types of cereals. As these foods can be swirled upwards
during cooking, there is a risk of the cooker valve becoming
blocked.
If the contents are mushy, the pressure cooker must be agitated
gently before opening it.
During cooking, bursts of steam will be given off vertically from
the centre of the regulator valve. Please take care that you do not
come into contact with this hot steam.
During the cooking process, the safety devices must not be
interfered with.
When the pressure cooker is under pressure, force must never
be used in an attempt to open it.
The pressure cooker must be allowed to cool down before it is
opened. Steam pressure must be completely released, otherwise
it will not be possible to open the cooker. Please observe the
opening instructions (pages 8 and 10). Do not undertake any
modifications to the safety devices; otherwise there is risk of
scalding. When releasing the steam, keep hands, head and body
out of the way of the steam.
You should only use original accessories and spare parts or lids
and pans as designed for these pressure cookers.
Pressure cookers or accessories which are deformed or
damaged in any way should not be used in any circumstances.
If repairs are necessary at any time, please contact our customer
service department.
This pressure cooker is suitable for the following types of
cooktop:
When using an electric hotplate, its diameter must be smaller
than or equal to that of the cooker.
When using the gas stove, the crown of the flame must not
exceed the diameter of the base of the cooker pot.
When using a ceramic cooktop, the base of the cooker should
be absolutely clean and dry.
Please look after these instructions carefully for future reference.
Safety precautions
Read through the safety precautions and instructions for
use with care.
Clean the pot with hot water and mild washing liquid and dry
thoroughly.
If after the first boiling, white spots should form on the
bottom of the cooker, these are caused by extreme hardness
of the water. These spots can easily be removed either with
vinegar or descaler. On no account should you use abrasive
cleaners or wire wool for cleaning.
This also applies for cleaning the stainless steel exterior.
Please check that the pressure regulator valve and the
pressure indicator are freely moveable.
