Notice: Be very cautious when releasing steam after cooking–the escaping steam is hot. If the lock
against accidental opening does not slip down spontaneously after the pressure cooker has been
set aside for some time and steam released using the button, place the pressure cooker into the
sink and cool the lid down with a small amount of slowly running cold water until the lock against
accidental opening slips down. Then open the pressure cooker and inspect and clean the operating
valve and steam release valve.
NEVER COOL THE PRESSURE COOKER ABRUPTLY UNDER RUNNING WATER, DO NOT LET WATER RUN
ONTO THE PLASTIC PARTS AND DO NOT IMMERSE THE ENTIRE PRESSURE COOKER IN WATER.
Useful hint
Switch heat off in advance before the end of cooking to make use of the heat retaining properties
of the three-layer sandwich bottom. Thanks to the three-layer sandwich bottom, the accumulated
heat energy is transferred into the pressure cooker even after heat has been switched off , which
helps economise on energy in cooking. The vessel of the pressure cooker can also be used without
the lid as a traditional deep pot for cooking on the stove.
SAFETY CUT-OUTS
Operating valve
The operating valve continuously releases excess steam during the cooking process and drives out all
steam from the pressure cooker at the end of cooking.
Lock against accidental opening / safety valve
The lock against accidental opening prevents accidental opening of the pressure cooker until all
steam has escaped from the pressure cooker and pressure has dropped entirely. The safety valve
operates as a safety cut-out activated when the operating valve becomes clogged. If steam begins
to escape spontaneously and very intensely from the pressure cooker during the cooking process,
immediately remove the pressure cooker from heat. After the pressure cooker cools down, open it
and clean the operating valve and the safety valve.
Pressure cut-out–aperture in the rim of the lid
If both the operating valve and the safety valve become clogged, the pressure inside the pressure
cooker pushes the silicone seal through the aperture in the rim of the lid, which causes an
immediate steam release and drop in pressure inside the pressure cooker. If the silicone seal is
pushed through the aperture in the rim of the lid, remove the pressure cooker from heat and leave
to cool down. If the seal has been pushed through the aperture in the rim of the lid or the seal shows
any signs of leakage or loss of elasticity, it must be immediately replaced with a new original lid seal.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Replace the silicone seal of the lid with a new one every 2 years in normal use of the pressure
cooker. For the original silicone seal of the lid for pressure cooker ELEMENT, please go to
www.tescoma.com or visit a TESCOMA Retail Centre.
ATTENTION! WHEN COOKING IN THE PRESSURE COOKER, MAKE SURE THAT THE APERTURE IN THE RIM
OF THE LID IS NOT DIRECTED TOWARDS PERSONS COMING NEAR THE PRESSURE COOKER.
