Safety valve
The safety valve operates as a cut-out activated when the operating valve be-
comes clogged. Immediately remove the pressure cooker from the heat source
if steam ceases to escape from the operating valve during cooking and escapes in-
tensely from the safety valve. After the pressure cooker cools down, open it and
clean the operating valve.
Warning! A minute amount of steam may escape also from the safety valve during
cooking.
Aperture in the rim of the lid
If the operating valve and the safety valve become clogged at once, the pressure in
the pressure cooker pushes the silicone seal through the aperture in the rim of
the lid, which causes an immediate drop in pressure and steam release.
IF THE SILICONE SEAL IS PUSHED THROUGH THE APERTURE IN THE RIM OF THE LID
WHEN USING THE PRESSURE COOKER, DO NOT REPAIR THE PRESSURE COOKER
YOURSELF; INSTEAD BRING IT FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICING.
Lock against accidental opening
Prevents accidental opening until all steam and pressure escape from the pressure
cooker.
PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS
ALWAYS USE AN APPROPRIATE SIZE OF COOKING RANGE OR FLAME FOR
COOKING.
The diameter of the cooking range must be identical or smaller than the diameter
of the bottom of the pressure cooker! Flame must never expand beyond the bot-
tom of the pressure cooker. Use the dispenser net or cooking range when cooking
on gas.
MAKE USE OF THE HEAT RETAINING PROPERTIES OF THE THREE-LAYER SANDWICH
BOTTOM.
Switch the heat off in advance before the end of cooking. Thanks to the three-
layer sandwich bottom, the accumulated heat energy is transferred into the pressure
cooker even after the heat has been switched off.
STORAGE, MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
STORE THE PRESSURE COOKER WITH THE LID UNATTACHED.
Lid
Do not wash the lid of the pressure cooker in dishwasher!
Clean the operating valve aperture by fl ushing it with running water; if excessively
soiled, clean it using a suitable metal tool such as a thin skewer (Fig. B).
Clean the safety valve by repeatedly pushing it under running water. Do not disas-
semble the operating valve, the safety valve, the handles or any other parts of the
lid.
Vessel
The vessel of the pressure cooker is dishwasher safe.
Should white stains due to scale formation appear inside the pressure cooker, use
vinegar, lemon drops or the special stainless steel cleaning agent CLINOX. The
white stains do not affect functioning of the cookware and are not hazardous for
