¡
When cooking with the lid on, reduce the power
level as soon as you see steam escaping. The
cooking result is not affected by the steam escap-
ing.
¡
After cooking, close the cookware until you serve
the dish.
¡
To cook with the pressure cooker, observe the man-
ufacturer's instructions.
¡
Do not cook food for too long, otherwise nutrients
will be lost. The short-term timer enables you to set
the optimal cooking time.
¡
Ensure that the oil does not smoke.
¡
To brown the food, fry it in small portions, one after
the other.
¡
Some items of cookware may reach high temperat-
ures while the food is cooking. You should therefore
use oven gloves.

Notes
¡
Optimal extraction power cannot be guaranteed for
tall cookware. You can improve the extraction power
using a lid placed at an angle.
¡
Do not block the ventilation openings with objects.
Do not place any items on the ventilation grille. Oth-
erwise, this reduces the ventilation performance.
¡
Always adjust the performance level to the current
conditions. Set a high power level for strong cook-
ing vapours.
