The information in this section is for the Futura Stainless Steel 

pressure cooker.  All the information in this Manual applies to the Futura 
Stainless Steel pressure cooker except when Futura hard anodised 
equipment is specifically mentioned or except as stated in this section.

CAUTION

  Never heat the Futura Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker without 

  food or water in the cooker.  Doing so may permanently damage  
  the cooker.  

  Always reduce the heat once full operating pressure is reached.   

  Cooking on high heat after full operating pressure has been 
  reached may cause food to burn and/or the cooker to boil dry.  

Tips to Prevent Burning

  High heat can cause some foods to stick and burn.  Reduce heat if 

 

you find that food is sticking – especially while frying.  While cooking  

 

rice or pilaf, do not reduce heat while bringing the cooker to full  

 

operating pressure.  

  If using gas heat, ensure that the burner is properly clean and  

 

efficient.  Protect the flame from drafts or fans.

  After frying and/or before bringing the cooker to full pressure on  

 

high heat, stir to remove any frying or other residue attached to base.

Care and Cleaning
 

Follow the instructions on pages 27 and 28 except for the following:

1.  Body and Lid

 

First paragraph:  The stainless steel cooker body and grid may  

 

be washed in a dishwasher but this may dull the mirror finish.  Do 

 

not put the lid, sealing ring or pressure regulator in the dishwasher.

2.  General Cleaning

 

First paragraph: 

 

Same change as for 

Body and Lid

.

3.  Baked-on Stains

 

a.  Second paragraph:  Use a chlorine-free kitchen cleanser instead  

 

of a chlorine-base cleanser as free chlorine can adversely affect  

 

stainless steel.  

 

b.  Add the following:  Do not use steel wool or harsh cleaning  

 

pads on the exterior of the cooker as they can scratch the finish.  

Stains

 

To remove rainbow-coloured stains and cloudiness, dullness and 

white marks:
 

–  Clean with a stainless steel cleanser or

 

–  Wipe vinegar or lemon juice on the stain, allow to stand about  

 

5 minutes and then clean cooker with a non-abrasive cleansing  

 

powder and 

 

–  Wash and dry.

 

These stains do not affect the food or the cooker and may disappear 

after further cooking.  

 

Blue and/or golden stains can be caused by overheating and may  

be removed with the methods mentioned in the preceding paragraphs.
