• This pressure cooker may only be used for the purpose
for which it was designed – fast cooking. It may only be
used as a “normal” saucepan WITHOUT a lid. Please never
use it in a baking oven or in a microwave.
• The pressure cooker may only be placed on the
appropriate hob for its size. For example, if the gas flame
overlaps the sides of the cooker, the handles may be
damaged.
• When using an electric hotplate, the diameter of the
hotplate must be smaller than or equal to that of the
cooker.
• When using a ceramic hob, the base of the cooker must
be absolutely clean and dry.
• Never touch the outside of the pressure cooker during
the cooking procedure as you may burn yourself. If the
pressure cooker is still hot, it must only be touched or
moved with great care and by the handles on the pressure
cooker itself, not by the handle on the lid.
• This pressure cooker must never be used without liquid
or it may be permanently damaged.
The minimum amount of liquid should be ca. 3/8 litres.
• The pressure cooker must never be filled more than 2/3
(two-thirds) full, or when cooking food which expands
or bubbles strongly (e.g. rice or pulses) it should not be
filled more than ½ (half) full. These foods should first be
brought to the boil in the uncovered pressure cooker and
then skimmed before the lid is closed.
• Under pressure, the pressure cooker must never be used
for roasting or frying using fat or oil.
• When preparing foods with an artificial skin, for
example, sausages, this must first be pierced. If the skin is
not pierced it will expand under pressure and may burst.
• If you have cooked meat with the skin on which is
swollen after cooking, do not pierce it but simply let it go
down.
