During use
1.) Put the cooker on the heat source. Please note that the heating
in induction hobs can reach extremely high temperatures in just few
seconds which requires a greater care and attention. As soon as the
steam will start to come out and make the control valve turn round,
the needed pressure will be reached. (Fig. 7)
2.) Start counting cooking time after checking that the steam is
coming out in constant fashion via the control valve.
3.) If during the use of the pressure cooker, the control valve does
not release steam, check whether the power of the heat source
is strong enough. Should this persist, depressurise the pressure
cooker and check:
•Whether the quantity of liquid inside the pressure
cooker is sufficient;
• Whether the pressure cooker is closed;
• Whether the control valve is clear;
• Whether the silicone sealing ring and the edge of the lid are in
good conditions.
4.) Do not place objects on the control valve whilst the pressure
cooker is working.
5.) Use the heat stored in the thermal bottom and save energy by
disconnecting the heat source before the food cooking time has
terminated. (Fig. 8)
6.,) If steam is released via the lid edges and/or via the safety valve,
remove the pressure cooker from the heat source, depressurise it
and check:
• Whether the control valve is clear;
• Whether the sealing ring is clean, properly positioned and shows
any sign of deterioration;
• Whether the edge of the pressure cooker unit shows any signs of
deterioration which prevent the effective adjustment of the
sealing ring.
When the pressure cooker is under pressure, never use
force to open the lid.
