ENDING THE COOKING PROCESS
Releasing steam and opening the pressure cooker
ALWAYS RELEASE STEAM ONLY AFTER REMOVING THE PRESSURE COOKER FROM THE HEAT.
After the time required for cooking your meal elapses, remove the pressure cooker from the heat source
even if the latter has already been switched off .
Set the pressure cooker aside for a while to allow the temperature and pressure in the pressure cooker to
drop suffi ciently.
Make sure before releasing steam that the pressure cooker is placed on the heat source in such a way that
the IDEALCOOK pressure regulator is on the remote end of the pressure cooker. Then adjust the pressure
regulator to the steam release position and release all steam from the pressure cooker (Fig. U).
The pressure intensity regulator automatically slips into the operating valve while the steam is released.
The lock against accidental opening will slip downwards after the steam has been entirely released and the
pressure has entirely dropped. The pressure cooker can now be opened.
If the pressure indicator and the lock against accidental opening remain slipped to the upper position after
steam is released, this means that there is still pressure in the vessel. In this case, put the pressure cooker
into the sink and cool the lid with a small amount of slowly running cold water until the pressure indicator
and the lock slip into position.
NEVER COOL THE PRESSURE COOKER ABRUPTLY UNDER RUNNING WATER, DO NOT LET WATER RUN DOWN
THE PLASTIC PARTS AND DO NOT IMMERSE THE ENTIRE PRESSURE COOKER IN WATER.
NEVER OPEN THE PRESSURE COOKER BEFORE YOU HAVE RELEASED ALL STEAM AND THE RED LOCK AGAINST
ACCIDENTAL OPENING SLIPS AUTOMATICALLY INTO POSITION.
FUNCTIONING OF THE SAFETY COMPONENTS
Operating valve
The operating valve controls the operating pressure in the vessel, continuously releases excess steam
and releases all steam from the pressure cooker at the end of cooking. The operating valve includes the
pressure-reducing safety component – if the operating valve and the safety valve become clogged
at once and the pressure cooker is not removed from the heat in time, the pressure in the pressure cooker
releases the pressure-reducing safety component inside the operating valve, whereby the pressure drops
immediately and steam escapes from the pressure cooker. The operating valve and especially the aperture
for releasing steam must remain free and not covered e.g. by an oven mitten or any other object while the
pressure cooker is in use.
Safety valve
The safety valve operates as a safety component activated when the operating valve becomes clogged. If
steam begins to escape intensely from the safety valve during the cooking process, immediately remove
the pressure cooker from the heat. When the pressure cooker cools down, open it, unscrew the nut of the
operating valve on the bottom of the lid, remove the operating valve from the lid and thoroughly clean it
under running water. Press your fi ngers on the pressure-reducing safety component, the pressure regulator
and the pressure intensity indicator to make sure that all of the 3 components spring. Clean the apertures
in the nut of the operating valve and install the operating valve back into the lid of the pressure cooker.
Lock against accidental opening
Prevents accidental opening of the pressure cooker before all steam has escaped from the vessel and
pressure has dropped entirely.
