Release the same by pushing forward again the
rotary knob
(8) and then pulling the same back-
ward again (A) .
Always shake briefly before opening the pot.
This will release any pockets of steam from the
food. These may form especially when cooking
liquid or viscous foods which can spit when re-
moving the lid. Now turn the lid handle
(5) to
the right as described previously, and lift off the
lid in an upward direction.
6. Four methods for
depressurization
Important note:
If you have cooked foaming or expanding
foods (e.g. pulses, stock, grains), you should
not depressurise the pot using methods 2, 3
or 4. Jacket potatoes will burst if you release
steam from the pressure cooker using
Method 2, 3 or 4.
When quickly releasing steam using the
rotary knob or under running water, always
keep your hands, head and body away from
the danger area. You could otherwise be
injured by escaping steam.
Method 1
Remove the pot from the heat source. After a
short time, the cooking indicator
(1) will fall.
When it has disappeared completely inside the
handle
(J) and the indication on the (24) timer
(12) has changed from red to green (W) , turn
the rotary knob (8) to the position »open/close«
(30a) and pull it backwards (30b ).
During this procedure any remaining residual
steam will escape from under the lid handle
(5) .
When all the steam has escaped, briefly shake
the pot and open.
We recommend this method in particular for
extended cooking times as you can use the exis-
ting residual heat.
Method 2
If you wish to release the steam slowly and
softly, then select automatic steam-off. Turn the
rotary knob
(8) to the position »open/close«
(30a) . The steam will escape slowly from under
the lid handle.
When the red indicator
(24) on the timer (12)
has changed from red to green (W) and the co-
oking indicator has disappeared fully into the
pot
(J) , briefly shake the pot and open.
Method 3
If you wish to release the steam as quickly as
possible, turn the rotary knob
(8) to the position
»open/close« and pull it backwards for a fast
steam-off
(A) .
When the red indicator (24) on the timer (12)
has changed from red to green (W) and the co-
oking indicator has disappeared fully into the
pot
(J) , briefly shake the pot and open.
Method 4
If you are worried by the escaping steam, simply
place the pot in the sink and run cold water
over the lid
(K) . Take care to ensure that the
timer (12) does not get wet, otherwise it might
become damaged.
When the red indicator
(24) on the timer (12)
has changed from red to green (W) and the co-
oking indicator has disappeared fully into the
pot
(J) , briefly shake the pot and open.
