BEFORE COOKING
1.
Ensure that the venting ducts, safety valve and pressure regulator are not blocked. If there
is any blockage, use a thin stick (a toothpick) to clean the duct and remove the blockage.
Make sure that the safety valve is clean and works properly, and that the gasket is fitted
correctly in its place.
2.
The pressure cooker must be filled with at least ¼ litre of water or other liquid to enable
proper accumulation of steam. Food and water must never exceed ²/₃ of the pot’s volume.
If the food generates foam or froth, or if it expands when cooked, it may not take up
more than ½ of the volume
.
3.
To close the lid, turn the knob clockwise until you hear a click indicating that the lid has
been fully and properly closed. If required, apply pressure with your hand to close or open
the lid.
COOKING
1. Put your pressure cooker on a firm and flat surface of the hob. When cooking, the cooking
zone diameter must not be greater than the pot diameter. If you use a gas hob for cooking,
ensure that the flames do not lick the side walls of the pot. To enable the highest temperature
increase possible, use high heating power.
NOTE: Whenever you move or shift you pressure cooker, hold it by its both handles.
2. Set the pressure regulator to the operating pressure position. At the initial heating stage,
minor amounts of steam may come out through the safety valve. This will stop when the
temperature increases.
3. When the marking on the pressure indicator turns white, your pressure cooker has reached
the operating temperature and pressure. Steam will start getting out through the pressure
regulator – this is when counting down of the cooking time should begin.
4. Set the heat source to the lowest level possible to prevent a further temperature increase.
5. When you see that the pressure indicator has come back to the initial positio increase a little
the heating power below your pressure cooker.
6. When the pressure indicator shows a red line, reduce the heating power immediately.
7. When the cooking time has elapsed, turn off the heat source.
