The respective ring must remain visible during
the entire cooking process.
WARNING!
Risk of scalding!
If the pressure continues rising, excess steam
is released through the opening on the pres-
sure regulator.
¡
Reduce the energy supply to the hob in
time to prevent steam escaping.
6. When the cooking time has expired, turn off
the energy supply to the hob.
7. Carefully remove the pressure cooker from
the hob and set it down on a heat-resistant
surface.
Before opening the pressure cooker, the excess
pressure must fi rst be reduced. Three options are
available to reduce the pressure:
1. Cooling down at room temperature
In this option, the pressure cooker is left to cool
down on a heat-resistant surface until the excess
pressure is completely reduced (see fi g. 15).
Â
When the safety valve is completely lowered, the
pressure cooker is depressurised.
NOTE:
The temperature in the pressure cooker only
decreases very slowly. You should accordingly
not
use this option of pressure reduction for
foods that need to be cooked to perfection, such
as meat or vegetables.

2. Cooling down under running water
NOTE:
We recommend using oven gloves or similar.
1. Hold the pressure cooker under running cold
water. Ensure that the stream of water only
fl ows over on the external metal surfaces of
the lid (see fi g. 16).
Â
When the safety valve is completely lowered,
the pressure cooker is depressurised.
3. Fast pressure release
WARNING!
Risk of scalding by the hot steam!
In respect of fast pressure release, hot steam is
released through the opening on the pressure
regulator.
¡
Keep your hands, head and body out of the
danger zone.
¡
Only touch the pressure regulator in the
area at the rear that points towards the lid
shaft handle to prevent contact of your skin
with the escaping steam.
¡
Do not use the fast pressure release for food
that easily generates foam, such as soups,
stews or legumes.
1. Turn the pressure regulator to position
(see fi g. 17).
Â
The excess steam escapes through the
opening on the pressure regulator.
Â
When the safety valve is completely lowered,
the pressure cooker is depressurised.
