Never turn the work valve from position II to the pressure release position
.
If you are cooking at level I, you can turn it directly to the pressure release position
.
WARNING:
escaping steam is extremely hot. Other methods for lowering pressure are described on the following pages.
7) Ending the cooking process
Wait until all the steam escapes from the pressure cooker before opening it and then you can turn the pressure cooker off. You can open the
lid and carefully remove the food.
WARNING:
never open the lid using force, the lid may still be hot
SAFETY SYSTEMS AND THE LID
This pressure cooker provides you with many advantages and safety elements:
The two-level pressure valve together with the instructions and the cooking time table can sometimes be used as a guide. That is why this
pressure cooker has a two-level pressure value. The advantage of the following indicator is that it makes it possible, based on the size and
amount of food that you wish to cook, to set the pressure in the pressure cooker individually using the valve. Refer to the time table at the
end of this user‘s manual where you will find the basic settings. You will cook much healthier meals. Your food will be cooked very gently
because you will cook it for a shorter time in steam without oxygen. Every minute saved represents more important vitamins, nutrients and
minerals that are saved. The food you cook will taste better. Cooking without oxygen significantly helps in retaining flavour and the natural
colour of your vegetables. You will cook faster and save time and energy. Using this pressure cooker will save you up to 70% of the time that
you have spent cooking until now.
Furthermore, you will save energy, up to 60% for dishes with a longer cooking times and 30 - 40% for dishes with shorter cooking times.
Further safety elements are described below.
PRESSURE VALVE:
for continuously variable cooking settings. The valve automatically maintains pressure and heat at the required setting:
Position I (gentle cooking) - 60 kPA - approximately 113 °C
Position II (rapid cooking) - 80 kPA - approximately 120 °C
The pressure valve can also be set to a pressure release position
and a position for cleaning the valve.
Safe pressure is 1.6 bar (160 kPa) - the valve opens and pressure is released, the maximum permitted pressure for this pressure cooker is: 2.7
bar (270 kPa).
SAFETY VALVE:
A RED pressure indicator (overpressure plug) can be seen while the pressure in the pressure cooker is rising; the pot is locked at this time
(never attempt to open the lid by force).
If the pressure indicator is not visible, there is no more pressure in the pressure cooker. You can open it. If for whatever reason the control
valve does not release pressure as it should, the valve will open in accordance with the prescribed values.
ONE-HAND OPENING / CLOSING SYSTEM:
Use one hand to open and close the lid by turning the handle in the top part of the lid. Once you have turned the handle, you can remove the
lid from the pot or return it on to the pot later if necessary. Warning! Release all steam before opening the pressure cooker - never attempt to
open the pressure cooker by force!
SAFETY WINDOW
An additional safety element is the safety viewing window in the lid. In the event of excessive pressure inside the
pressure cooker, the gasket ring will deviate into this window and thereby steam can escape.
LID WITH A GASKET RING
Gasket rings wear out and if necessary must be replaced with new ones. Important: Only use original gasket rings.
