(2) Quick cooling:
Place the pressure cooker under the
water tap and rinse it slowly with
cold water until the safety valve
sinks (see fig. 9). Afterwards the lid
can be opened as described above
(see fig. 8).
Note:
Do not rinse the cooker too
strongly to prevent water from en
tering the cooker via the safety valve and / or the pressure control valve.
(3) Evaporation:
Slowly turn the triangle symbol on the pressure valve into the position (fig. 7)
and wait until there is no steam escaping from the cooker. CAUTION: The es
caping steam is very hot. Do not hold your hands above the valve and wait until
there is no steam left escaping. Only when the safety valve has lowered can
the lid be opened. This method is not suitable for frothy or mushy food (such as
soups, stews, legumes and pasta).
Cleaning the Safety Valve
To clean the safety valve, first loos
en the holding screw (see fig. 10).
You can then lift the safety valve
out and clean it thoroughly. Use
the supplied spanner to do this.
THE SAFETY VALVE MAY NOT BE
DIVIDED!
Removing and Cleaning the Pressure Regulating Valve
To clean the silicone sealing ring, please remove the pressure control valve. Also
ensure that the triangle symbol on the pressure regulating valve is set to the
Ø
symbol (see fig. 7, page 26). The valve can be removed by being pulled upwards.
Care and Maintenance
After each use, wash your pressure cooker (optional: insert and stand) with hot
water and a nonabrasive washingup liquid. The lid and rubber seal cannot be
washed in a dishwasher. With heavier, tougher soiling we recommend that you
soak the parts for a while. Do not use any sharp or pointy objects for cleaning,
even in the case of heavy soiling. Remove limescale residue with vinegar. The
rubber seal must not be washed with washingup liquid.
Storage
After washing, the pot and the lid should be dried thoroughly and stored with
the lid facing upwards. The cooker should not be stored with the lid closed, as
this will cause the rubber to deteriorate more quickly.
General Information
Screwed fittings can become loose over time. These can, however, easily be
tightened using a standard screwdriver. Induction stoves may sometimes
produce a buzzing noise during cooking. This is due to technical reasons and
does not indicate a fault in the cookware. The bottom diameter of the pot must
match the size of the cooking zone, otherwise the cooking zone (magnetic field)
may not correspond to the pot‘s bottom, especially if the bottom diameter
is smaller. Preheat the cookware on no higher than a medium heat. Empty
cookware may reach temperatures of up to 500°C very quickly, particularly on
induction hobs.
