PRIOR TO FIRST USE
Pressure cooker
Prior to first use, remove all the labels from the pressure cooker.
Wash it in hot water and washing-up liquid. After washing, dry it with
a cloth.
Lubricate the sealing ring with a bit of cooking oil to facilitate the
opening and closing of the pressure cooker. Make sure the steam
release devices are clear.
Give the pressure cooker a test run using half a litre of water. Let it
cook for 10 minutes until the control valve starts giving off steam.
Minimum quantity:
Do not use the pressure cooker with a liquid quantity inferior to 250
ml, that practice may cause damage to the pressure cooker and / or
to the heat source.
Maximum Quantity:
Do not fill the pressure cooker below 2/3 of its capacity.
In the case of the food that expands or creates foam during the coo-
king process (such as peas, chick-peas, spinaches, dough, rice, etc.)
do not fill the pressure cooker over the half of its capacity, in order
to prevent the water or food from blocking the safety or pressure
control systems.
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 pres-
sure 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 check that there is adequate space between the food to be
cooked and the lid with safety valves.
Please note if you exceed the limit of the capacity, the
steam could be released through the control valve or
through the edge of the lid. This could also occur if the
heat source is too strong.
