Releasing steam/cooling down

You must reduce the pressure in the pot before you open
the Sicomatic® classic.
→ Therefore turn off the power.
→ Remove the pot from the cooking zone.
There are three ways in which you can reduce the
pressure:
a) Fast steam release
Hot steam is released at the lid.
Danger
→ Never touch the steam.
→ Always keep your hands, head and body out of the
danger zone above the centre of the lid and the safety
slot on the rim of the lid.
→ Particular caution is required when using the slider to
quickly release steam.
When cooking soups, pulses, stews, stock,
offal and pasta, the filling volume in the
Danger cooker increases due to the formation of froth.
→ Never release steam from the pot quickly if you are
cooking frothing or pulpy foods.
Use the operating valve in this case to quickly release
steam.
→ Allow the cooker to cool down to prevent burns and
scalds.

→ Slowly slide the slider back until no more steam is
released.
→ Wait until the pressure indicator has fully retracted
into the lid shaft handle by itself.
b) Allowing it to cool down
→ Wait until the pressure indicator has fully retracted
into the lid shaft handle by itself.
This method is suitable for frothing or pulpy
foods. Reduce the cooking times a little as the
food will continue to cook while it is cooling
down.
c) Cooling down with water
→ Hold the cooker under cold running water until the
pressure indicator retracts fully into the lid shaft
handle.
→ Do not run the water directly onto the lid shaft handle.
Make sure cold water does not enter the pot via the valve
on the lid shaft handle.
