Pressure cooking
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
The pressure cooker may be damaged if the heat supplied to it is
not reduced in the presence of overpressure.
− In the event of overpressure, a red ring will become visible
on the pressure level indicator and the pot will release
steam. In this case, immediately reduce the heat supplied
from the heat source until the red ring is no longer visible.
1. Turn the valve cap
1
of the pressure control valve
16
to the position
indicating the suitable pressure level for the food added (see the chapter
“Pressures and cooking times”).
2. Place the closed pressure cooker with the selected pressure level on the
stove.
3. Set the stove to the maximum heat.
Pressure will build up in the pressure cooker. The red safety valve
2
and
the pressure level indicator
13
will display the build-up of pressure in the
pressure cooker (see
Fig. F and G).
Depending on the amount of food added, it will take a few minutes for the
pressure cooker to reach the set pressure. If pressure is continually released
by the pressure control valve and the green rings on the pressure level indi-
cator
18
are visible, the set pressure level has been reached. The cooking
time will then begin.
4. Now set the stove to low heat.
5. Leave the pressure cooker on the stove for the cooking time indicated in the
recipe (see chapter “Pressures and cooking times” and, if applicable, your
own recipe).
6. Once the cooking time has passed, turn the stove off.
7. Release the pressure in the pressure cooker as described in the chapter
“Reducing the pressure in the pressure cooker”.
