OPERATION
1. Close the cooker
•
First, revolve the knob in anti-clockwise direction. Let the elastic ridge descend close
to the lid.
• Secondly, put the lid onto the body between the ears. Nestle the lid close against the
body. The elastic ridge and the ears should be at the same line.
•
Thirdly, revolve the knob in clockwise direction. Let the ridge ascend to touch the
ears with its two ends. Be sure there is no flexible feeling. Further tighten the lid to
the body by revolving the knob one or two circles (one circle equals 360°). When
cooking, if you find steam escape from the rim under the lid, you should release all
the steam in the cooker by revolving the knob anti-clockwise, then tighten the lid
while pressing it gently but firmly, make sure no more steam comes out from the
cooker (see picture 1).
2. Put on the
pressure-limiting valve.
The valve should be
placed vertically onto the
valve base (see picture 2).
3. Reduce the pressure
and open the lid.
Slightly and slowly lift the
pressure-limiting valve, release the steam in the cooker little by little. It’s one way to
reduce the pressure safely (see picture 3A).
Another trick to reduce the pressure is to revolve the knob little by little so that the steam
is also let out gradually in a small scale. Remove the lid when the elastic ridge is finally
down to it (see picture 3B).
