Depending on how full the cooker is, it will take several
minutes until the preset cooking stage has been reached.
This is the case as soon as steam starts to escape
permanently from the pressure-regulation valve.
The actual cooking time only starts

down to a lower stage.
In this way, you avoid unnecessary consumption of energy
and the risk of the cooker boiling dry.
