5. Unpacking and assembling
1. Take the individual parts of the appliance out
of the packaging.
2. Dispose of all the packaging.
3. Check that the appliance is not damaged in
any way.
4. Remove any labels which may be on the
appliance.
Caution!
Before you use the appliance for the
first time it should be thoroughly cleaned to
ensure that any residue left over from production
is removed (see "7.2 Cleaning the pressure
cooker" on page 24).
5. Clean all the individual parts with hot
dishwater, rinse with clean water and dry
thoroughly.
6. How to use
6.1 Preparing the pressure cooker
Warning!
Before cooking with the pressure
cooker, you should check all the safety
functions to avoid causing any
damage to the appliance.
1. Check that the openings for the pressure
regulator
8
on the inside of the lid are clean.
2. Should this not be the case, clean the
pressure regulator
8
(see "7.2 Cleaning the
pressure cooker" on page 24).
3. Check that the safety valve
3
is loose and is
not stuck.
4. Check that the sealing ring
6
is not damaged
in any way, i.e. that it is not split.
Please note:
Over time the sealing ring
can become hard and will therefore no
longer provide an air-tight seal. This will lead
to steam escaping from the rim of the lid and
the sealing ring will therefore require
replacing. A new sealing ring can be
purchased in a specialist shop.
5. Fill the base with food.
Caution!
• Never fill the pressure cooker above the
"MAX" mark on the inside of the pan. This
corresponds to a maximum of 4 litres.
• When cooking food that swells, such as rice
or pulses, you should only fill the base
halfway. This will prevent the food from
reaching the lid and potentially blocking the
safety valve.
• To avoid damaging the appliance, you
should ensure that the base always contains
at least 0.25 litres of liquid, so that sufficient
steam can be produced and the pan doesn't
overheat.
6. Fill the base with water or stock.
7. Place the lid
2
on the base
7
.
8. Flip the lid handle
4
downwards. The locks
5
will be pulled inwards and will seal the pan.
6.2 Cooking
1. Choose the desired cooking setting on the
pressure regulator
8
:
1
: Steam cooking: the
pressure regulator will display
a white ring.
