NOTE
VARYING COOKING TIMES
Cooking times
can be different for the same
food because the amount, form and state of
the food varies.
6.5.1 Cooking Level 1
Low cooking level for tender foods like vegetables,
fi sh or stewed fruit.
Food is cooked gently at this cooking level so
that the aroma and nutrients remain preserved
as much as possible. At Cooking Level 1 the
pressure indicator rises up to 1 green cooking
ring. If the pressure is too high it is is regulated
automatically.
1.
Check that the pressure cooker is closed
correctly.
2.
Place the pressure cooker on the stove.
3.
Use the turn knob
C
to set the cooker to
Cooking Level 1: to do so, turn the knob
C
to
the
left to
Level 1
(see Image C)
.
4.
Set stove to a
high
energy level.
▶
The pressure cooker will heat up.
a)
Air will escape through the safety valve
7
,
which is also the automatic cooking system,
until the valve closes and pressure builds up.
b)
The pressure indicator
G
begins to rise. The
increase can be observed through the slot
beside the pressure indicator and the energy
supply can be regulated accordingly.
c)
The
red
ring (yellow ring for Perfect
Excellence) on the pressure indicator signals
that the pot can no longer be opened.
5.
Cooking time begins as soon as the pressure
indicator
G
displays 1 green cooking ring.
6.
Ensure that the ring position on the pressure
cooker
G
remains constant.
7.
If the pressure indicator
G
falls below the 1
green cooking ring, turn up the energy supply.
▶
This increases the cooking time somewhat.
8.
If the pressure indicator
G
rises above the
1 green cooking ring, the result is an excess
build up of steam pressure, which
escapes
audibly through the pressure regulation
device
F
.
a)
Remove the pressure cooker from the hob.
b)
Wait until the pressure display has lowered
to 1 green cooking ring.
c)
If the energy supply has been re-set, place
the pot back on the stove quickly.
9.
After the cooking time is over, remove the
pressure cooker from the energy supply and
reduce the pressure
(see Chapter 6.6)
.
10.
After the pressure has been reduced,
shake the pressure cooker and open
carefully.
6.5.2 Cooking Level 2
Quick cooking level for all other foods
A lot of time and energy is saved with
this cooking level. At Cooking Level 2 the
pressure indicator rises up to the 2nd green
cooking ring. If the pressure is too high it is is
regulated automatically.
1.
Check that the pressure cooker is closed
correctly.
2.
Place the pressure cooker on the stove.
ATTENTION
DAMAGE CAUSED BY TOO
LITTLE OR LACK OF LIQUID
Risk of overheating and damage
⇨
Never heat the pressure cooker without
liquid or heat at the highest level
unattended.
⇨
Only use the pressure cooker with
suffi cient liquid (minimum 1/4 l water).
3.
Use the turn knob to set the cooker to
Cooking Level 2: to do so, turn the knob
C
to the
right to Level 2
(see Image C)
.

CAUTION
RISK OFF BURNS FROM LEAKING
FOOD
Hot food can leak through the pressure
regulation device, safety valve or the side
safety slot causing burns.
⇨
Fill the pressure cooker to a maximum
of 2/3 (see inner marking) of its nominal
capacity.
⇨
Fill the pressure cooker to a maximum of
1/2 of its nominal capacity
if expanding
or very foaming foods, such as soups,
legumes, stews, broths, offal or pasta
products are being cooked.
Please the food into the pot with suffi cient
liquid, use inserts and a trivet
(See Chapter 7.2)
if necessary. Sear meat beforehand in the pot if
necessary as described in
Chapter 7.1
.
6.4 Closing the pressure cooker
1.
If applicable, assemble lid as described in
Chapter 5.3
.
2.
Put the lid on and close as described in
Chapter 5.3
.
6.5 Cooking foods
Foods are cooked under pressure in the pressure
cooker. Due to steam pressure in the pot the
temperatures are higher than during "normal"
cooking. This shortens cooking times by up to
70%, which leads to a signifi cant reduction of
energy consumption. Furthermore, the aroma,
taste and vitamins are largely preserved thanks to
the short cooking process using steam.
TIP
- Energy-conscious people turn the heat source
off before the cooking time is over because the
heat stored in the pot is enough to complete the
cooking process.
