BEFORE THE FIRST USE
Take the time to read all the instructions.
Take all accessories out of the cooker pot.
Season the cooker rim with a little cooking oil to make opening
and closing the lid easier (see Figure 1).
Fill the pressure cooker half full with cold water, and heat the pressure
cooker for 10 minutes according to the operating instructions of
“Checking before Closing”, “Closing the Lid” and “Cooking”.
Open the pressure cooker after it is completely cold and all pressure has
been released, see “Opening the Lid”. Empty the pressure cooker and dry
it with a soft cloth.
SAFE OPERATING
CAUTION:
Never immerse the pressure cooker in the water.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
To cook with a pressure cooker, it is important to fill with liquid that is capable of
releasing steam as it is boiled. Either water, soup, stock or wine is acceptable in this case.
Minimum Volume: The cooker must always contain at least 0.26Qt (1/4 Litre or 1 cup)
of liquid for cooking (see Figure 2).
NEVER fill the pressure cooker more than two-thirds of its capacity with liquid and
food (see Figure 2). Fill the cooker to only half way when cooking foods that will either
expand in size and/or produce foam as they cook (e.g. rice, legumes, broth or dried veg-
etables). (See Figure 2.)
