volume.
J - Use the heat sources in accordance with
their instructions for use.
K - After cooking meat with skin (i.e. tongue),
which has a risk of swelling due to high
temperature, do not pierce it while the
skin has a swollen appearance, as injuries
can be caused from scalding.

STEAM PIPE:
Remove the lid rotating dead weight valve and check
from the inside part of the lid that the steam pipe orifice
is completely clean.
Otherwise, clean it using a thin rod. (Fig. 1).
SAFETY VALVE:
Check it functions correctly by pressing the valve bolt
with a thin rod, from inside the lid. If it slides, it is
functioning correctly. (Fig. 2).
FILLING THE PRESSURE COOKER:
- For safety reasons the maximum filling capacity of
the pressure cooker is 2/3 its real capacity.
- If you cook food which tends to swell or produces
froth (such as chick peas, lentils, leeks pasta, rice or
vegetables), fill only to half way point, to prevent
running the risk of obstructing the aforementioned
safety valves.
- The minimum amount of liquid to be used in the
pressure cooker is 1/4 litre.
