BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
- Check that the pressure cooker is suitable for use with your cooker hob.
- If using on an electric or ceramic hob, always use a smaller- or same-diameter
burner as the pressure cooker base. Always check that the pressure cooker base is
clean to avoid damage to your ceramic hob.
- If using on gas hob, adjust the flame length so that they do not extend beyond the
pressure cooker base.
- Before using for the first time boil up the contents of one glass of water and two
glasses of milk with the juice of a lemon in your pressure cooker (obviously you should
not drink this!).
- Wash your pressure-cooker carefully in hot water with a little washing-up liquid.
