– While cooking it is NORMAL to observe
small amounts of steam coming out of
the safety valves.
– If you use a gas burner make sure the
flame is adjusted from the beginning, and
the pressure cooker is placed centrally on
the burner, so that the flame does not
extend beyond the base. In this way, you
save energy and prevent deterioration of
handles and "Sealing gasket".
•
END OF COOKING TIME. OPENING
THE PRESSURE COOKER
– Once the cooking time is finished, remo-
ve the pressure cooker from the heat
source, even if it has been switched off.
DO NOT SINK THE PRESSURE
COOKER UNDER WATER.
– Place the "Counterweight" in OPEN
position, and leave it in this position
until all the steam comes out from the
inside. Then, proceed to open it.
– Hold the "Pushbutton" in the OPEN posi-
tion (Fig. D) and turn the lid clockwise as
far as possible.
Never force the lid open.
4) PRACTICAL ADVICES
Energy will be saved, if once the heat source
has been switched off, the pressure cooker is
left on the stove thereby taking advantage of
its residual heat until the pressure drops.
In case a lot of steam comes out of the lid or
through the "Counterweight", it may be
because the pressure cooker has not been
well closed. It could be for several reasons.
a) The lid has not reached the limit on closure.
b) The "Pushbutton" is in the forward position
or the "Counterweight" is in the OPEN
position.
c) The "Sealing gasket" has not been properly
placed in the lid.
d) The “Sealing gasket” is worn. It must be
replaced with a MAGEFESA original once.
5) CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
In order to keep your MAGEFESA pressure
cooker looking like new, we recommend
washing each of its component parts with
warm water, after each use, following the
instructions set out below:
A) LID
– Never put the lid in the dishwasher.
– Clean the "Steam pipe" orifice with a thin
rod (Fig. 1), and the "Pressure release
valve" by pressing the bolt with a rod
(Fig. 2). Then, let warm tap water run
through both of them.
B) BODY
– Wash in the sink or dishwasher as you
would other cookware.
– Sometimes, depending on food and addi-
tives used while cooking, as well as the
lime content of water, gold-coloured or
bluish spots may appear on the bottom.
These are mineral deposits on the steel
and do not affect its properties in any way.
All spots can be removed by boiling
water with a small amount of vinegar
or lemon juice in the pot and rinsing
the pr ess ure co ok er tho rou gh ly
afterwards.
Never use corrosive or abrasive
detergent like bleach, tomato sauce
or salt water for long periods of
time inside to avoid corrosion.
C) SEALING GASKET
– It is special, made of long lasting Silicone
(superior to 500 hours of operation).
Remove it from its position in the lid and
clean it after every use. Once it is dry, put
it back in place (Fig. L).
– Routinely check for signs that replace-
ment may be necessary. Always use ori-
ginal MAGEFESA replacement parts, in
order to avoid loss of steam and assure its
correct functioning.
The "Silicone gasket" needs to be
replaced, when, due to frequent use, the
pressure cooker starts to lose steam from
the rim of the lid and does not gain
pressure.
ALWAYS USE ORIGINAL
MAGEFESA SPARE PARTS.
¡FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY!
