TIMER* (OPTIONAL)
• The timer is only available on certain models. Removable and
independent, the timer will alert you when the cooking time is
complete. You can take it with you so that you are free to get
on with other tasks or you can leave it in its holder (G(c)) during
cooking.
• Your pressure cooker is designed to work both with and without
its timer.
Operation:
• Power on: press the button once; the two zero display appears.
• Select the cooking time (60 minutes maximum): press the button.
- Pulsing: minute-by-minute countdown
- Continuous: scrolling countdown
• Cooking time countdown: upon releasing the button after a few
seconds, the selected time flashes: the countdown has started.
The countdown should start as soon as the valve ‘whispers’.
• Audible alarms: at the end of cooking, the timer warns you with a
series of beeps. To stop the alarm, press the button. Turn off the
heat source and manually release the pressure (see section “End
of Cooking”)
• The timer automatically turns off.
• Programming error: you can reset the programmed time at any
time by pressing and holding the button for more than two seconds.
• Installation: place the timer on its holder ( G(c) ) on top of the lid.
• Removal: Gently lift the timer upwards.
Recommendations for use:
• Do not put the timer in the dishwasher. Never submerge the timer
in water. Clean the timer using a clean cloth. Do not use solvents
to clean the timer.
Disposal:
• The lifespan of your timer depends on how often you
use it. However, when you notice a total or partial loss
of the display, you will need to remove the battery for
disposal.
• The cook control battery is a CR2032 button battery.The cook
control battery contains Dimethoxyethane no. CAS 110-71 - 4. It
is in accordance with the European regulations. For your safety and
environmental protection: do not open the battery, do not expose
it to high temperatures, do not throw it away with household
waste; Dispose of battery at a battery disposal point.
• Your battery is housed in the battery compartment: you can
replace it or have it replaced by a retailer authorised for this type
of service, as shown in the diagram opposite.
• You can purchase another timer at all of our TEFAL-approved
Service Centres.
*Basket and timer not included with certain models.

DURING COOKING
The pressure indicator (D) prevents the pressure from rising in the pressure
cooker if it is not properly closed.
• It is normal for steam to be present at the pressure indicator (D) when the
product begins operating.
• When steam escapes continuously from the operating valve (A) , with a
steady “pschhht” sound, reduce the heat until the valve (A) continues to
whisper steadily.
• Leave for the cooking time indicated in the recipe.
• For models equipped with a timer, program the time indicated in the recipe.
• As soon as the cooking time is over, turn off the heat source.
■
END OF COOKING
To release the steam:
- Slow pressure release:
• This is used for stews, vegetables, meat joints and
fish dishes.
• Gradually turn the valve (A) , adjusting the speed
that the pressure is released by how far you
open the valve, until it aligns opposite the mark
with the symbol
-
Fig. 9 . When the pressure
indicator (D) drops down again, your pressure
cooker is no longer under pressure.
The pressure indicator (D) prevents the pressure
cooker from being opened if it is still under pressure.
- Rapid pressure release:
• This is used for soups, rice, pasta, egg custards,
cake and pudding mixes, recipes containing rice or
pasta and recipes with a high liquid content.
• You may place your pressure cooker in a sink
half-filled with cold tap water, to speed up the
decompression, see diagram opposite. When the
pressure indicator (D) drops down, your pressure
cooker is no longer under pressure.
• You may open your pressure cooker - Fig.1 and 2 .
- Special case foods:
• When cooking special case foods which expand or
foam during cooking e.g sliced carrots, pumpkins
(see cooking table) or dried vegetables, wait for
the pressure indicator (D) to drop before opening.
Reduce the recommended cooking time slightly.
Alternatively, use the rapid pressure release method
stated above.
• When cooking soups, we would advise you to carry
out a rapid pressure release (see section ‘Rapid
pressure release’).
If while releasing the
steam, you notice any
food or liquid start
to spray out from
the valve, return the
operating valve (A) to
or mark- Fig.7
or 8 - , wait a minute
and then slowly turn
the operating valve
again to the steam
release position,
ensuring nothing
else spurts out.
Shaking the contents
once the pressure
cooker is totally
decompressed.
But we can’t shake it
under pressure.
