7.
Never fill the Speedcooker®
II
more than the Max line indicated on the inside of the unit.
8.
Do not fill the Speedcooker®
II
more than a ¼ of its capacity when preparing food that tends to foam i.e
dried fruit, pasta, beans or pulses.
9.
The minimum amount of liquid necessary for the Speedcooker®
II
to build and maintain adequate
pressure is 250ml (1 cup).
10.
Always test that the Red Pressure Valve is functioning correctly before use. To do so push the locking pin
back to release the Red Pressure Valve and press the valve two or three times with your fingertip, it should
drop with ease.
11.
If too much steam escapes from the Pressure Setting Valve during the cooking process or escapes in violent
bursts, reduce the heat. If too much steam still escapes, check that there is not too much liquid in the
Speedcooker®
II
or check the condition of the Sealing Ring.
12.
If the Red Pressure Valve does not reach pressure, turn the heat up. If it still does not reach pressure, remove
the unit from the heat source and allow to cool before removing the lid. Check that the Red Pressure Valve
and locking pin is clean, and check the condition of the Sealing Ring. If there is no obstruction, you may
have too little liquid in the Speedcooker®
II
. At least 250 ml is necessary to build and maintain pressure.
13.
It is important to remember that different heat sources and stoves will give you different reactions. After the
first few uses, you will get to know how long your Speedcooker®
II
takes to reach pressure according to
your heat source i.e solid plate, spiral, glass top, gas or induction stove.
14.
When cooking on gas, never let the flame pass the diameter of the base of the Speedcooker®
II
. If using an
electric stove, the plate should be smaller than the base of the Speedcooker®
II
.
15.
Too high temperatures will cause the pressure inside the unit to become too much. This will result in
excessive steam escaping from the unit, water leaking, and you could burn your food.
16.
Food particles and frothy food can cause build up in the Red Pressure Valve and Pressure Setting Valve.
The residue may become hard and sticky after a while and may interfere with the operation of the
Speedcooker®
II
. It is important to rinse the Red Pressure Valve and Pressure Setting Valve on a regular
basis. To do this, run hot water through the opening of each valve. When cleaning the Red Pressure Valve,
push the locking pin back to expose the Red Pressure Valve.
By following these steps you will be guaranteed proper functioning of your Speedcooker®
II.
