CHARACTERISTICS
Pressure cooker IMPRESSION enables cooking with smooth pressure control* in
the vessel, which contributes to preserving the natural taste and nutritional value
of meals. Cooking with the pressure cooker IMPRESSION is significantly faster than
standard cooking.
The IMPRESSION pressure cooker is made of high-grade 18/10 stainless steel and
high-quality resistant plastic materials. The handles of the pressure cooker do not
burn if used properly.
The pressure cooker is provided with three independent safety cut-outs and is
entirely safe to use.
The solid three-layer sandwich bottom has excellent heat retaining properties
that help to economise on energy – cooking is faster and at a low heat output;
the heat may be switched off in advance before the end of cooking.
The Tescoma IMPRESSION pressure cooker is suitable for all types of cooker: gas,
electric, vitro-ceramic and induction cookers.
* OPERATING PRESSURES IN THE IMPRESSION PRESSURE COOKER
The operating pressure in the vessel is 0.6 bar/60 kPa when cooking in position 1.
The operating pressure in the vessel is 1.0 bar/100 kPa when cooking in position 2.

BEFORE FIRST USE
Thoroughly study the instructions for use before first use. Thoroughly wash the pres-
sure cooker and all its parts with warm water and detergent and wipe dry.
BEFORE EACH USE
Inspecting the valves (Figures A, B, C, D)
Operating valve (1, 2, 3)
Position pressure regulator (1) to the end left position where the arrows of the pres-
sure regulator and the lid handle point against each other and remove it from the lid
by pulling it upwards. Then remove the operating valve insert (2) and the spring (3)
by pulling them upwards and check if the insert or the piston of the operating valve
are clogged (Fig. A). If soiled, flush them under running water or clean them using
a suitable object such as a thin skewer, etc. (Fig. B). Attach all the operating valve
components in reverse order after inspecting them.
Safety valve (4)
Push the lid closure lock on the bottom of the handle (Fig. C) and check the piston
of the safety valve – the piston must freely move in the aperture of the lid
and fit with the sealing in the upper position (Fig. D). Move the lid open/close
button (7) back to the front position after the inspection.
INSPECT THE VALVES BEFORE EACH USE OF THE PRESSURE COOKER, APPLYING DUE
CARE.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Opening the pressure cooker (Fig. E)
Move the lid open/close button (7) to the front position, hold it and turn the lid
counter clockwise (Fig. E). Remove the lid from the vessel.
NEVER APPLY INAPPROPRIATE FORCE WHEN OPENING THE PRESSURE COOKER!
Filling the pressure cooker (Fig. F)
FOR SAFETY REASONS, THE PRESSURE COOKER MUST BE FILLED 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., fill the pressure cooker to a maximum of ½ vessel capacity to avoid unwanted
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)
Položte poklici (5) na nádobu hrnce tak, aby bod na poklici vlevo od rukojeti víka
Place the lid (5) onto the vessel of the pressure cooker so that the dot on the lid to the
left of the lid handle and the dot on the bottom handle are positioned against each
other. Turn the lid clockwise so that the handles are aligned. A clicking sound will
be heard and the open/close button on the lid will automatically move to the back
position. If this does not happen, move the button to the back position manually.
NEVER APPLY INAPPROPRIATE FORCE WHEN CLOSING THE PRESSURE COOKER
Cooking in the pressure cooker (Figures H, J, K)
SELECT AN AMOUNT OF PRESSURE BY TURNING THE OPERATING VALVE.
1. If you wish to cook at a low pressure, turn the operating valve to posi-
tion "1" (Fig. H). Cooking at a low pressure is ideal for economic cooking
of meals, for example for cooking vegetables, fruits, lentils, fish, etc. Do
not cook in the pressure cooker at pressures below "1"!
2. If you wish to cook at a high pressure, turn the operating valve to
