THE SAFETY WINDOW
An additional safety element is the safety
window integrated into the lid. If the
pressure within the pot is too high, the
sealing ring presses outwards through this
window and the steam can escape.
You can cook more healthily
Thanks to the oxygen-free steam cooking
and the shorter cooking times, your food
will be cooked in a particularly gentle
way. Each minute that you save means
you gain essential vitamins, nutrients and
minerals.
Your food is full of flavour
Thanks to the oxygen-free cooking pro-
cess, the aroma and the natural colours of
vegetables are largely retained.
You can cook faster and save time and
energy
With this pressure cooker, you save up
to 70% of time previously spent cooking.
And you save energy, up to 60% for slow-
cooked dishes, between 30% and 40%
for dishes with shorter cooking times.
You can cook with practically no cooking
smells and cooking vapour.
PRESSURE COOKING
WITH ALFA
BEFORE COOKING
Before each use, please check the function
and cleanliness of the safety valve, the
pressure regulating valve and the sealing
ring.
Pay particular attention to the safety valve
on the underside of the lid. This must be
able to move easily and should not be
stuck.
Use a pointed object to check this before
each cooking process (against spring
pressure).
Please also check the silicone cap of the
pressure indicator at the interior of the
lid for damage (cracks) and replace this,
if required. Also ensure that the cap sits
straight and completely over the indicator.
The silicone cap protects the pressure
indicator from becoming dirty.
