REGULATING VALVE:
SETTING THE STOVE TO THE
HIGHEST HEAT LEVEL
With cooking setting preselected, place
the pressure cooker on the correct stove
plate and set this to the highest level.
OVERPRESSURE
When the pressure increases, the red
safety valve becomes visible. Now, the pot
can no longer be opened. Depending on
the fill level, it takes a few minutes until the
preset cooking setting is reached.
WARNING! In the event of overpressure, a
red ring also becomes visible and the pot
dissipates the steam. You must then reduce
the heat level of the stove plate immediate-
ly until the red ring is no longer visible.

Option 1
Allowing to cool:
Wait until the red safety valve has gone
down completely. The pressure shall then
dissipate gradually by itself. Recommend-
ed for foamy and porridge-like dishes
Option 2
Slowly and gradually reducing the
steam…
by gradually and slowly turning the pres-
sure valve to position .
WARNING: The escaping steam is very hot.
The steam escapes from the sides in an
upwards direction. Please do not put your
hands over the steam outlet, wait until no
more steam is escaping and the red safety
valve is no longer visible. This method
is not suitable for foamy or porridge-like
dishes.
OPENING THE POT
When no more steam is escaping, you can
open the pot.
Push the locking slider forwards with your
thumb. Pull the lid and pot apart, remove
the lid.
