Safety valve (2)
Push the lid closure lock on the bottom of the handle (Fig. C) and repeatedly press
the piston of the safety valve - the piston must freely move and spring at the
edge of the valve's hexagonal body (Fig. D). After the inspection, move the open/
close button (5) back to the front position.
INSPECT THE VALVES BEFORE EACH USE, APPLYING DUE CARE.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Opening the pressure cooker (Fig. E)
Move the open/close button (5) to the front position, hold it and turn the lid coun-
ter clockwise. Remove the lid from the vessel.
DO NOT APPLY INAPPROPRIATE FORCE WHEN OPENING THE PRESSURE COOKER.
Filling the pressure cooker (Fig. F)
For safety reasons, the pressure cooker must be fi lled to a maximum of 2/3 vessel
capacity.
With foods that tend to froth or swell when heated (such as soups or lentils, rice,
etc.), fi ll the pressure cooker to a maximum of 1/2 vessel capacity to avoid un-
wanted clogging of valves and overboiling.
DO NOT COOK WITHOUT WATER IN THE PRESSURE COOKER - THE MINIMUM
AMOUNT OF WATER IS 250 ML.
Closing the pressure cooker (Fig. G)
Place the lid (3) onto the vessel of the pressure cooker so that the arrow on the lid
and the arrow on the handle of the vessel point against each other. Turn the lid
clockwise so that the handles are aligned. A click sound will be heard and the
open / close button will automatically move to the back position. If this does not
happen, move the button to the back position manually.
DO NOT APPLY INAPPROPRIATE FORCE WHEN CLOSING THE PRESSURE COOKER!
Cooking in the pressure cooker (Figures H, J, K)
SELECT LOW OR HIGH PRESSURE BY TURNING THE OPERATING VALVE TO THE RE-
LEVANT POSITION.
1. If you wish to cook at a low pressure, turn the operating valve to position
"1". Cooking at a low pressure is ideal for economic cooking of meals, for
example for cooking vegetables, fruits, lentils, fi sh, etc. (Fig. H).
2. If you wish to cook at a high pressure, turn the operating valve to position
"2". Cooking at a high pressure is quicker and uses a higher temperature.
It is suitable in particular for cooking meat and meals that require a longer
thermal treatment (Fig. J).
3. Place the correctly fi lled and closed pressure cooker set to a low or high
pressure onto a heat source set to the highest output.
4. After a short while steam will begin to escape with moderate hissing
from the safety valve aperture; the hissing will cease after a moment
and the safety lock against accidental opening (6) will slip upwards.
This means that the pressure in the vessel has reached the required level;
at this moment steam begins to escape from the operating valve (Fig. K).
