Usage Instructions
Caution! To remove any manufacturing residues, Sizzle must be thoroughly cleaned before the first
use (see Cleaning Steam Cooker). Use hot dishwater, rinse with clean water and dry the cooker off.
Cooking with slight steam pressure
• Make sure that the pressure release valve is manoeuvrable and not fixed.
• Check whether the gasket is damaged, i.e. has cracks. Tip: The gasket could become hard over time
and therefore no longer forms a complete seal. If steam is released on the rim of the lid, this is a sign
that the gasket needs to be replaced. You can obtain a new gasket via the Russell Hobbs customer
service address.
• Fill the pot with the desired amount of food. Make sure that at least 0,2 l (ø 20 cm) or approx. 0,3 l (ø
24 cm) liquid or some oil is in the pot, so that it does not overheat and cause damage.
• To close the lid, push both buttons to the left and right of the lid handle simultaneously with one
hand. Place the lid straight into the corresponding indentations on the rim of the pot and press
the lid lightly onto the pot. Release both buttons
– now the pot is closed and you can begin cooking.
• Place the pot on the stove and use the highest heat to start.
• As soon as the liquid boils or the food is seared, lower the stove to the lowest heat level.
• Regulate the heat:
- Only a small amount of steam should escape through the steam valve.
- The food should only boil slightly.
• You can open the lid at any time to add seasoning or to top up the liquid. To do so, push on the pot
with light pressure and at the same time press both buttons on the lid handle with one hand and lift the
lid.
• It is inevitable that steam will be released from the pressure release valve and depending on the type
of cooking, some drops of liquid could escape. The drops can be collected using the silicon cover,
provided as an accessory in the package (12).
Usage Instructions
Opening your Sizzle
You can open the lid at any time, the same way you are accustomed to opening other cookware.
Important:
The more often you open the pot while cooking, the longer the cooking time will be and the energy
savings are reduced. Pressure equalisation is constantly achieved via the steam valve. This way,
dangers are avoided, which can occur with pressure cookers when the high pressures are able to
develop.
Cleaning, Care, Maintenance
Your new Sizzle is exceptionally easy to maintain. You should always execute the following cleaning
recommendations thoroughly so that you may enjoy using your Sizzle for a long time to come.
