MONIX PRESTO Gebrauchsanleitung Seite 27

Start cooking
Before each use, verify that the operating valve is not obstructed.
Minimum fill
Always fill the cooker with a minimum quantity equivalent to ¼ of the
total capacity of the cooker (see ¼ mark inside the cooker).
Maximum fill
• Never fill the cooker body above 2/3 of its height, including food.
• In the case that you are going to cook foods that are slow cooking, such
as rice, dehydrated legumes or compotes, never fill the cooker body
above half of its height. Cook each food at the indicated pressure.
• Place the cooker on the stove at maximum level.
• When the pressure cooker reaches the cooking pressure and the
steaming begins to be released, you can reduce the heat to medium
low level to maintain a steady level of pressure.
• In the event the pressure cooker has been heated without liquid inside,
contact the Monix after-sales service for verification.
If no steam leaves through the operating valve and no sound is
emitted while cooking:
• The pressure does not raise. This is normal during the first minutes
while cooking.
If this event persists, verify that:
• The heat source is sufficiently strong. If not, increase the heat.
• Verify that the quantity of liquid inside the pressure cooker is at least a
¼ of the total capacity of the cooker (see ¼ mark inside the cooker) .
• The operating valve is correctly placed, clean and free of residues.
• The pressure cooker is correctly closed.
• The silicone gasket and the pressure cooker's edges are not damaged.
