• Place the revolving valve on the
operating valve and push it in fully.
Cooking
• Place the cooker on the heat source.
When the revolving valve begins to
MOVE, emitting steam, turn down the
heat source to a position in which
the valve turns SLOWLY. It can even
rest WITHOUT TURNING, emitting a
small quantity of steam. In this situation
cooking will take place perfectly,
energy will be saved and there will be
a higher vitamin contribution.
• At this point the cooking time begins.
• To obtain maximum energy savings:
With electrical cookers select the plate
diameter which is equal to or smaller
and nearest in size to the bottom of the
cooker.
With gas cookers adjust the flame so
that it does not overlap the bottom of
the cooker.
To open the cooker
TO DO THIS IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT
THERE IS NO PRESSURE IN THE
INTERIOR:
• Make sure that the heat source is
turned off completely and cold.
• If an electric heat source has been
used put the cooker on a cold surface
to prevent it continuing to heat when it
is being opened.
• Raise the revolving valve slightly letting
the steam escape until the pressure
drops.
• It is also possible to cool the cooker
under running water, which will reduce
the pressure more quickly, and also
prevent the kitchen from steaming up.
•
DO NOT IMMERSE THE COOKER
IN WATER.
• SHAKE THE COOKER BEFORE
OPENING THE LID.
• NEVER FORCE OPEN THE PRESSURE
COOKER.
• Turn the handle in the opposite
direction to that of closing until the
bridge comes down to the lid. Lift the
lid until it disengages and slide it off
horizontally.
3) MAINTENANCE
After each use:
• Wash the cooker with hot water and
normal detergent using a soft cloth,
rinse and dry it.
To maintain your cooker, follow these
instructions:
• Do not use metallic scourers or abrasive
detergents.
• Do not put its parts in the oven.
• If you cannot clean the parts used,
immediately after cooking, fill them
with a little soap and water, which will
prevent any leftover food from sticking.
