MAX and MIN level (Fig. 2a).
USE:
- This appliance can be used with ceramic
hobs, induction hobs, electric and gas
cookers.
OPERATING PRESSURE:
-This appliance can operate at 2 levels of
pressure. (Fig. 3)
-It also has one position for pressure release
and one position for extracting the valve. (Fig.
4)
CLOSING THE LID ON THE MAIN BODY
OF THE PAN.
- Align the mark ”►“ on the lid with the handle
of the body pan.
- Turn clockwise until both handles are in line
and close.
ONCE YOU HACE FINISHED USING THE
APPLIANCE:
-Clean the appliance
CARRY HANDLES:
-This appliance has handles on the side of the
body, which facilitates comfortable transport
(Fig. 5).
OPERATION
-1. It is necessary to clean the air release pipe
and safety valve frequently in order to ensure
that the pressure cooker functions norma-
lly. Check the air release pipe and remove
accumulated dirt with a needle or water. Also
ensure that the safety valve is clean and that
the O-ring is positioned.
- CAUTION: Before every use, check that
you can easily move the safety valve, in
order to guarantee safe use of the pressu-
re cooker.
- 2. Do not use the pressure cooker with less
than 0.25 l of water or other liquid. Do not
fill the pressure cooker to more than 2/3 the
height of the pan. If you are preparing foods
which expand or form foam, only
- fill the pan halfway.
- 3. To close: Place the lid on the pan. The ▼
marks on the lid must be aligned with the O
mark, located on the long handle of the pan.
Turn the lid clockwise until you hear a click
and then position the handle of
-the lid and that of the pan exactly on top of
the other (see Fig. 6).
- CAUTION: Also make sure that the closure
is in the correct position. If it is not, move
it forwards (Fig. 7)
-4. Set the pressure release selector valve to
the desired position (see Fig.8).
-5. To heat:To cook, place the fast cooker on
the hob and turn it on to maximum strength
so that the pressure rises rapidly. When the
internal pressure of the cooker reaches a cer-
tain pressure position, the pressure release
selector valve will automatically expel steam.
- Next, lower the heat a little so that the steam
is released evenly and constantly. (Fig. 9)
CAUTION:
- When carrying the pressure cooker,
always grasp it by both handles and never
only by the lid handle or other handle.
Carry the cooker carefully and place it on
a hob with a flat, stable surface.
- Do not heat the pressure cooker without
supervision. Always use it carefully. If
the pressure cooker does not function
correctly, it must be adjusted immediately
in order to continue using it.
- Never touch any hot surface, such as the
stainless steel part. Grasp the cooker by
the handles.
-
Be careful when moving the cooker while
it is under pressure. If necessary, use
gloves to avoid burns.
- For safety reasons, always respect the fi -
lling quantity indicated in order to prevent
the liquids from evaporating completely
and dry cooking, as well as to prevent
the safety mechanisms from becoming
clogged.
- 6. Turning off the hob: Once the recommen -
ded cooking time has elapsed you must turn
off the heat source. When you do this,
- the temperature of the cooker will decrease
while the food will continue cooking.
- 7. Reducing the pressure: Turn off the hob.
Next, let the cooker decompress until it rea-
ches room temperature. Wait until the safety
- valve descends. There are two ways of doing
this:
-1)Rapid cooling: To cool the cooker quickly
you can press the switch or rinse the pressu -
re cooker slowly with cold water until the red
safety valve descends. You can then open
the lid in the described manner (Fig.10).
-To prevent the food cooking for too long, or
if you wish to open the lid during cooking,
the cooker must be cooled rapidly. Place the
cooker on a stable surface under cold running
water. Be careful not to
