1. Your cooker works on any type of
fuel; Gas, Kerosene or electricity. En-
sure maximum heat / flame once the
cooker is kept on the stove. Reduce
heat as soon as pressure is built up.
When your cooker is used on Gas
flames the back handle can get heated
up. Caution is to be exercised while
handling the cooker.

2. Always use the cooker with suffi-
cient quantity of water. Pressure cook-
ing is cooking with steam, so there
must always be water in the appliance
to produce steam. The quantity of
water varies with the model of the
cooker. For the first 15 minutes of
cooking, pour 18 oz. or 2

5. When cooking lentils, beans always
add a spoonful of any cooking oil to
the content of the appliance before the
commencement of cooking. Allow a
few minutes before closing the lid to
avoid excess froth. When cooking liq-
uid foods, add adequate quantity of
water so that there is enough water
even after cooking. For cooking milk
dishes, start with a low heat to bring
the milk to boil and then turn it up to
pressure.

6. If steam escapes around the lid, a
new gasket should be fitted immedi-
ately. Otherwise, the appliance takes
a longer time to come to pressure and
it will require more heat to maintain
this pressure. This may also result in
complete loss of water and subsequent
dry heating which will result in weak-
ening of the cooker. Always buy genu-
ine gasket.
