CAUTION
RISK OF BURNS CAUSED BY BUBBLE
FORMATION (DELAY IN BOILING)
Hot cooked food can form bubbles and
suddenly spray out when the cooled pressure
cooker is opened. Hot liquid can spray out
when piercing meat with skin. This can lead
to burns and/or scalding.
⇨
Shake the pressure cooker before
opening.
⇨
Do not immediately pierce hot meat that
is cooked with skin (e.g. cow tongue), let
it cool down fi rst.
CAUTION
RISK OFF BURNS FROM LEAKING
FOOD
Hot food can leak out of the safety valve
7
,
the pressure regulation device
F
, or the side
safety slot
A
when the pressure cooker is
overfi lled, causing burns.
⇨
Never overfi ll the pressure cooker.
⇨
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
its nominal capacity if expanding
or
very foaming foods, such as soups,
legumes, stews, broths, offal or pasta
products are being cooked.
⇨
Pre-cook foods beforehand in an open
pot, stir and skim off foam if necessary.
CAUTION
RISK OF BURNS FROM HOT POT
/ LID
The pressure cooker becomes very hot during
cooking. The handles can also become very
hot from open fl ames on gas stoves. Touching
these can cause burns.
⇨
Never touch the hot outer surface of the
pressure cooker.
⇨
Only take hold of the pot
1
/lid
6
by the
plastic handles.
⇨
Use gloves and/or hand protection (e.g. pot
holders).
⇨
Only remove inserts and trivets using aids,
e.g. pot holders.
⇨
Place the hot pressure cooker on heat-
resistant surface only.
ATTENTION
DAMAGE CAUSED BY TOO LITTLE OR
LACK OF LIQUID
Never turn the pressure cooker on without
liquid or switch to the highest setting
unattended as this can cause overheating and
damage.
⇨
Only use the pressure cooker with suffi cient
liquid (minimum ¼ l water, stock, etc.).
⇨
Check to ensure that there is suffi cient
liquid when cooking viscous foods.
⇨
If there isn't enough or no liquid, turn the
stove off immediately and do not move the
pressure cooker until it has cooled down
completely.
⇨
Never leave the pressure cooker unattended.
2.5 To clean
CAUTION
RISK OF BURNS FROM DAMAGES
CAUSED FROM CLEANING
Do not use brushes, abrasive cleaners or
chemicals when cleaning the safety devices as
this can damage them, leading to risk of burns
from escaping steam.
⇨
Observe the cleaning and care instructions.
⇨
Do not use the pressure cooker if parts
are damaged, deformed, discoloured or
broken, and contact the WMF dealer /service.
⇨
Remove dirt / blockages.
CAUTION
RISK OF BURNS CAUSED BY
INADEQUATE CLEANING
Before each usage, check the safety valves /
devices and the pressure indicator for dirt /
blockages, otherwise uncontrolled steam will be
able to escape. This can lead to burns.
⇨
Check safety devices and pressure indicator
G
and clean if necessary.
CAUTION
RISK OF BURNS CAUSED BY
INCORRECTLY ASSEMBLED LID
The lid cannot be put together incorrectly.
Assembly must follow the manner described.
⇨
Observe the instructions strictly.
⇨
Check for correct fi t.
2.4 During usage
CAUTION
RISK OF BURNS CAUSED BY HOT
STEAM
If steam escapes instead of pressure being built
up, there is a risk of burns to hands and face from
hot surfaces and escaping steam.
⇨
Turn off the stove immediately, let the pot
cool down and inspect.
WARNING
RISK OF BURNS CAUSED BY HIGH
PRESSURE
High pressure builds up inside the pot during
cooking. If this pressure is released it can cause
serious burns and injuries.
⇨
Always check that the pressure cooker is
securely closed.
⇨
Never open the pressure cooker with
force. The pressure cooker can only be
opened with ease when it is completely
unpressurised.
⇨
Move the pressure cooker carefully when
it is under pressure.
⇨
Never leave pressure cooker
unattended during usage.
CAUTION
RISK OFF BURNS FROM ESCAPING
STEAM
Hot steam sometimes emits from under the
lid
6
during cooking.
⇨
Never reach into the steam.
⇨
Always keep hands, head and body out
of the danger area - above the lid
6
and side safety slot
A
on the rim of the
lid.
⇨
Never leave pressure cooker unattended
during usage.
⇨
Keep out of reach of children and
household pets.
CAUTION
RISK OF BURNS FROM QUICK
STEAM OFF
There is a risk of burns caused by hot steam
or cooked food during quick steam-off via
the turn knob
C
or under running water.
⇨
Give the pressure cooker a
shake before
opening.
⇨
Immersing the pressure cooker in water
is prohibited.
⇨
Always keep hands, head and body out
of the danger area - above the lid
6
and side safety slot
