8. This Pressure Cooker does not feature a pressure indicator. Please observe the steam
that is emitted from the pressure control valve – this is a sign that pressure is building
up inside the cooking pot.
9.
DO NOT
fill the Pressure Cooker below the specified minimum filling quantity 'MIN'
e.g. liquid and food being cooked.
10.
DO NOT
exceed the specified maximum filling quantity 'MAX' e.g. liquid and food
being cooked. When cooking food stuffs which expand during cooking, such as rice
or dehydrated vegetables, do not fill the cooker to more than half of its capacity.
11. Only use the sources of heat that are specified in the instructions for use. To maintain
optimum energy efficiency use pan on burner of corresponding diameter, and if using
a gas hob adjust the flame so that it does not extend up the sides of the pan. Sliding
pans on ceramic hobs could scratch the surface of the hob.

‘READ BEFORE FIRST USE’ section, pages 7-9.
16. When the cooking pot is hot, only use the handles to touch it.
DO NOT
allow handles
to extend over burners or over the front of the hob. Always use dry oven gloves
or cloth when handling the cooking pot, as handles may get hot during and after
cooking. Be careful when moving pans containing hot oil or liquids.
17. The Pressure Cooker must never be forced open. Before opening the Pressure Cooker,
make sure that the pressure has been completely released. (For more information, see
the instructions for use, page 11.

food ejection.
