• When preparing meat with an artificial skin, such as sausage,
pierce the skin before cooking. If skin is not pierced, meat will
expand under pressure and may burst, which could result in
serious burns. If meat has been cooked without first piercing the
skin, do not pierce after cooking. Allow swelling to go down before
removing from pan.
• If the contents are mushy, pressure cooker must be shaken gently
before opening.
• During cooking, bursts of steam will be given off vertically from
center of the regulator valve. Do not come into contact with this
hot steam.
• Do not interfere with the safety devices during cooking.
• When pressure cooker is under pressure, do not force it open.
• Pressure cooker must be allowed to cool down before opening.
Steam pressure must be completely released, otherwise it will not
be possible to open the cooker. See instructions on opening pres-

modifications to the safety devices when opening the pressure
cooker; otherwise there is risk of scalding. When releasing steam,
keep hands and body out of the way of the steam.

B/R/K
accessories, spare parts, lids or pans for
