When using pressure cooker for the first
time, wash and dry all parts first, then check
that the pressure release devices are not
clogged. Apply a thin coat of cooking oil to the
area of the rim of the pressure cooker body
that comes into contact with the sealing gas-
ket. This allows for easy opening and closing.
2
Place solid foods into the pressure cooker
first, then add liquid. The amount of food
so lids and liquid placed in the pressure
cooker body should not exceed two-thirds
(
2
/
3
) of the overall cooker capacity. Never
use less than 250 ml (1 cup) of water or liquid.

While holding the lid upside down by up-
per handle , remove blockage guard
by tur n ing it one-quarter (¼) turn in a coun-
terclockwise direction. Hold the lid
up to
light and look through the exhaust pi pe
to ensure that it is clear and free from ob-
struction; clean if necessary. Replace the
block age guard
.
4
Place the lid on top of cooker body
by
aligning arrow ( ) on the lid with the arrow
on the top of the lower handle ( ) . Rotate
the lid in a clockwise direction while keep-
ing the lower handle stationary).
When the lid
is correctly closed, the
handles will lock together. do not force the
lid , it should slide easily into the correct
locked position.
5
Place the pressure limiting valve on the
exhaust pipe .
PRINCIPLE OPERATION
For maximum moisture retention, the pressure cooker body
and the lid are sealed by a seal-
ing gasket . du ring the heating process, the pressure inside the cooker increases gradually as
water is brought to its boiling point.
When this occurs, the pressure limiting valve pushes upward on the exhaust pipe . Steam
then begins to escape from the exhaust pipe , allowing the temperature and pressure inside
the cooker to remain at a constant level. If for some reason the exhaust pipe becomes blocked
by food, one of the safety devices (spring safety valve or fusible safety valve ) will release the
pressure automatically. If the the lid is not fully closed and in the locked position, the pressure
inside the cooker cannot reach more than 5 Kpa.
This pressure cooker has been equipped with a lock pin which will keep the the lid from being
removed from the cooker body until the pressure inside the cooker reduces to 3 Kpa or less.
