For the first 15 minutes of cooking, pour 400 ml. or 2 cups of water upto
6 Ltr cookers and 500 ml or 2½ cups of water for 6.5 Ltr to 12 Ltr cookers. For
every additional 15 minutes of cooking, add one cup of extra water.
2) The Separator cooking is more advantageous and different types of food
such as rice, dhal, and vegetables can be cooked simultaneously in your
pressure cooker.
3) Take the food to be cooked in the Separators and add correct quantity of
water. As a guideline, for one measure of rice, add 2½ measures of water
and for 1 cup of dhal, add 1½ measure of water depending on the quality of
the foodstuff and your personal preference. Stack the separators inside the
cooker.
When you do direct cooking, please remember to pour more water for steam generation, when
cooking Dhal, soak in water for 30 min prior to cooking and add a table spoon of oil. This will
avoid frothing.

5) Place the lid on the body of the cooker with the arrow mark on the lid in line
with the arrow mark on the body handle, press down the lid slightly with
one hand and turn the lid handle (clockwise) to bring it exactly above the
body handle.
6) Now place the cooker on high heat. Wait, do not place the weight valve now.
You can use it on a gas stove, Halogen Cook-top, kerosene stove, electric
heater or a sigri. Never use the cooker on firewood or industrial burner.
7) After a few minutes, a continuous jet of steam will come out of the vent tube.
Now place the weight valve on the vent tube and press it down till it gets
engaged with a click.
8) Once the cooker has reached full pressure, the weight valve will whistle.
Now reduce the heat till the required cooking time.
