There are 2 options for removing pressure from the cooker.
a)
Slowly release the pressure.
1. Turn the pressure control anticlockwise up to the symbol.
2. Wait until there is no more steam escaping from the pressure control.
3. Briefly shake the pressure cooker and wait to see if there is any more steam escaping.
4. If necessary, repeat this procedure until the pressure indicator (10) drops.
5. Once the locking device (9) can be moved easily, carefully open the lid.
This method is suitable for soups, stews or foods with sensitive skin such as potatoes in their jacket.
b) Quickly release the pressure under running water.
1. Place the pressure cooker in the sink.
2. Have cold water run laterally over the lid and not over the valves!
3. Once the pressure indicator (10) has dropped, turn the pressure control up to the symbol.
4. Briefly shake the pressure cooker and wait to see if there is any more steam escaping.
5. Once the locking device (9) can be moved easily, carefully open the lid.
Different cooking methods
Braising meat
Braising is a combined cooking method first roasting the meat gently and then cooking the meat in sim-
mering liquid.
1. Heat the pressure cooker at medium setting until the fat in the cooker is hot.
2. Place the meat in the cooker and press it down firmly. It will unstick after a few minutes and can then
be turned over.
3. Depending on the recipe you may then add other ingredients.
4. In each case, fill the cooker with water until the MIN marking.
5. Close the cooker.
NOTE:
Meat usually cooks at a higher setting of the pressure control (up to MAX).
Soups and stews
1. Fill the cooker only halfway when preparing heavily foaming or rising food.
2. First cook the soup with the lid open, removing any foam.
3. Stir before closing the cooker.
4. Select a cooking setting and start cooking.
NOTE:
Soups and stews cook at a higher setting of the pressure control (up to MAX).
Steaming
“Steaming” also preserves vitamins. However, the cooker works without pressure. Vegetables and other
sensitive foods are cooked in the steam insert.
1. Fit the steam insert holder and add water up to the MIN marking.
2. Fit the steam insert with the ingredients.
