Notes on safety
Before first using the pressure cooker, please read
these instructions.
People not familiar with the use of this pressure cooker
should not be allowed to use it.
If you use this pressure cooker when children are in the
vicinity, please be particularly careful.
This pressure cooker may only be used for the purpose of
fast cooking, for which it was designed. It may only be used
as a «normal» saucepan without a lid. Please never use it in
a baking oven or in a microwave.
The pressure cooker may only be placed on the appropriate
hob for its size. When using full power to heat it, always keep
it under observation.
When using it on the an electric hob, the hotplate must be
less than or equal to the diameter of the pot.
When using it on a gas stove, the flame ring must not exceed
the base diameter.
A too large gas flame may damage the handles.
When using it on a ceramic hob, make sure the bottom of the
pot is clean and dry.
Never touch the outside of the pressure cooker during the
cooking procedure, as you may burn yourself.
The pressure cooker and pressure cooker lid should be
cleaned thoroughly using hot water on each occasion
before use.
If after the first boiling, white spots should form on the
bottom of the pot, these are caused by extreme hardness
of the water.
These spots can easily be removed either using vinegar or
descaler. On no account should you use abrasive cleaners
or wire wool for cleaning. This also applies for cleaning the
stainless steel exterior.
Please check that the pressure-regulation valve and
the safety pin are freely moveable.
