→ You must always use the handles and ensure a firm
grip when moving or carrying the hot cooker.
→ Move the Sicomatic® classic carefully when it is under
pressure.

cooker.

Never overfill the cooker.
Danger
Overfilling the cooker can cause hot food to leak out
through the operating valve.
→ Fill the cooker to a maximum of 2/3 of its nominal
content.
→ Fill the cooker to a maximum of half of its nominal
content if you are cooking foods that overly swell or
froth, such as soups, pulses, stews, stocks, giblets and
pasta.
Never use force to open the cooker.
Danger
The cooker opens easily when depressurised.
→ Do not make any modifications to the safety mecha-
nisms.
Hot food can cause bubbles to form and it
can spurt out explosively when opening the
Danger cooker, even if the steam has already been
released.
→ Therefore, always shake the cooker gently before you
open it
to prevent burns and scalds caused by the hot contents
spurting out from the cooker.
Do not insert hot meat that you have cooked
with the skin on (e.g. beef tongue).
Danger
→ Allow the meat to cool beforehand.
In doing so the skin that has expanded under pressure
subsides and you can prevent burns caused by hot fluid
spurting out.
