WARNING!
Risk of boiling over!
¡
When cooking foods that generate a lot of
foam or expand such as rice, dehydrated
vegetables or legumes, the pot may only be
fi lled up to the halfway mark (see fi g. 9/2).
6. Put the lid on the pot (see fi g. 10/1).
7. Turn the lid clockwise up to the limit stop
(see fi g. 10/2).
Â
When the opening slide audibly clicks into
place, the lid is fi rmly sealed shut.
WARNING!
Risk of burns!
¡
Do not touch the metal surfaces of the pressure
cooker with your bare hands after switching on
the energy supply.
¡
Only touch the plastic components of the
pressure cooker. If necessary, use oven gloves.
1. Set the pressure regulator to the desired
cooking level (see fi g. 11).
¡
Gentle level
I
approx. 60 kPa (0.6 bar) at
110 °C
¡
Fast level
II
approx. 100 kPa (1.0 bar) at 120 °C
NOTE:
The choice of the appropriate cooking level
depends mainly on the food to be cooked.
The recommended cooking level for various
types of food is set out in section 7. In recipes
specifi cally for pressure cookers, the appro-
priate cooking level is frequently provided.

Cooking with inserts
(A) Steamer insert (fi g. 12)
2. Place the tripod on the bottom of the pot and
place the fi lled steamer insert on the tripod.
3. Fill the pot with 1 litre of water. The food is now
cooked very gently by the steam.
(B) Frying basket (fi g. 13)
WARNING!
Hot fat!
¡
The frying basket may not, under any cir-
cumstances, be used in a closed pressure
cooker under pressure.
¡
Deep-fry only with a 6-litre pot volume.
¡
Only use the frying basket with the pres-
sure cooker open or with a glass lid (see
the accessories in section 8).
4. Turn on the energy supply to the hob.
NOTE:
We recommend setting the hob to the
highest energy level. The desired pressure is
thereby reached as fast as possible.
Â
When the water begins to boil and the
pressure in the pot increases, the pressure
indicator and safety valve rise. The cooking
time only starts when steam is released via
the pressure regulator.
5. Depending on the selected cooking level,
reduce the energy supply to the hob to keep
the pressure constant:
¡
Gentle level
I
: When the fi rst ring on the pres-
sure indicator becomes visible (see fi g. 14/1)
This applies to delicate food, such as fi sh or
fruit
¡
Fast level
II
: When the second ring on the pres-
sure indicator becomes visible (see fi g. 14/2)
