Important: Always add enough liquid for steam to form, and make sure that the liquid in the pressure cooker does
not evaporate completely. Never allow the cooker to “cook until dry.” As the resulting overheating could damage the
cooker (e.g. melt the base or damage the safety mechanisms) and the burner. In case of overheating, never remove the
cooker from the burner. Simply turn off the burner and let the cooker cool down for a while on it.
Close and Open the Lid
Put the lid on the cooker body. At first, make sure the lid is in opening state.
Then turn the turning handle toward the direction the arrow marked on the
handle(close), until the turning handle and the lid control panel are in a line.
To begin cooking
Place the pressure cooker on the proper burner; the diameter of burners should be
always smaller than the diameter of pressure cookers. And make sure the releasing vent
toward the working mark points, not toward the releasing mark points.
End of Heating
Remove the pressure cooker from the source of heat, reduce pressure before opening the lid. Set the cooker aside to a
cool area and wait the cooker body cool down or for quicker reduction of pressureNever force the cooker open. It may
only be opened as long as the indicator rod has fallen back into its socket completely. Always shake the cooker before you
open it. This will prevent pockets of steam, which might be caught within the food from spattering up when the pressure
cooker is opened. If you do not do so, you are in serious danger of suffering burns and scalding by the escaping steam and
food.
WARNING : Do not hold the pressure regulator to release pressure. (Risk of injuries! Hot steam/liquid will be ejected.)
Keep hands and face away from steam vent pipe, use cooker handles when removing the cooker or touching any hot
items, and never force the lid open. The lid will only open once the pressure is released. Remove the lid by lifting it away
from you to avoid being burned by the steam.
Always begin with the burner at high. When using a gas stove, make sure that the flame does not go beyond the edge of
the pot base.
When cooking begins, the temperature rises and the process begins
automatically. Steam escapes from Push proof valve, taking with it the oxygen
in the air, which can destroy vitamins and minerals. This process may take a
few minutes. The Push proof valve closes automatically. After few minutes,
The first white ring on the indicator rod becomes visible.
• The 1st white ring on the indicator rod means that the pressure cooker is
under pressure and can’t be opened. It will be visible in the whole process of
cooking.
• For the 2nd red ring ,when the pressure cooker works normally, the red ring
won’t appear. If the red ring rises and appears in the process of cooking, It
means the pressure is too high inside the cooker, in this case, turn down the
heat and check the reason.
To begin cooking
Place the pressure cooker on the proper burner; the diameter of burners should be always smaller than the diameter
of pressure cookers. And make sure the releasing vent toward the working mark points, not toward the releasing mark
points.
NOTE: If the 2nd red ring appears and continues to rise, you will hear a hissing sound, and the excess steam will escape
through the Pressure limited valve. This means that the temperature is too high and the burner must be turned down,
otherwise the liquid will evaporate completely.
