Clean the pot and all its parts before
the first use, as described in the chapter

thumb. Pull the lid and pot apart, remove
the lid.
3. ADDING THE FOOD TO BE COOKED
Observe the minimum liquid level of ap-
prox. 250 ml.
Now, add the food you wish to cook. The
maximum fill level is 2/3 of the pot volume.
For foods which absorb liquid, the maxi-
mum fill level is 1/2 of the pot volume (e.g.
dry pulses, rice).
The fill levels always include both the food
for c liquid.

In the event of overpressure, a

also becomes visible and the pot dissi-
pates the steam. You must then reduce
the heat level of the stove plate immedi-
ately until the red ring is no longer visible.
8. COOKING TIME COMPLETE
Switch off the stove around ten minutes
before the end of the cooking time.
9. ALLOWING STEAM TO DISSIPATE
Option 1
Leave the pot to stand and wait until the
pressure has dissipated.
Option 2
Dissipate the steam gradually by turning
the pressure valve to the “dissipate”
position slowly and gradually.
Caution: the steam is very hot!
10. OPENING THE POT
Once the red safety valve has gone down,
the pot can be opened.
