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 the 2 locking
blocks close audibly.

Steaming off/cooling
down/opening:

Remove the cooker from the
source of heat, stand it on a
suitable surface, turn the pressure
regulator valve slowly to position
”0” and wait until no further steam
escapes and the pressure indicator
has retuned to its starting position

(see page 10). Now the cooker is no longer pressurized, you can
open it by pushing the locking slide forwards and holding it there
while you slide the two handles apart.

WARNING:

Never attempt to force open the
lid. The lid can only be opened
when the cooker is not under
pressure.

Cooking positions:

Set the desired cooking position
with the pressure regulator valve
and bring to boil under full power.

Position 1 =
Gentle cooking (0,6 bar)
Position 2 =
Fast cooking     (1,0 bar)

On reaching the selected working
pressure, the pressure regulating
valve releases steam continuously.
At this stage, the source of heat
should be turned down low.

Pressure indicator:

When pressure in the cooker builds up towards the selected
cooking position, the RED pressure indicator (safety valve)
becomes visible.
The cooker is locked and can now only be reopened after the
steam is allowed to escape.

The cooker can only be reopened once the pressure indicator is
no longer visible, after the steam is allowed to escape and cool
down.

Please always take note of the detailed instructions given in these
instructions for use.

Before cooking

Before each use, make sure that the safety locking system, the
pressure regulator and the sealing ring are all clean and
functioning properly.
