Description And Advantages Of The Vitavit - Fissler vitavit comfort Gebrauchsanleitung

Safety information / Description and advantages of the vitavit
Minimum amount: 200-300 ml of water, depending on the diameter of your cooker. (See "min" marking)
In case of extreme overheating, plastic parts on the cooker or the aluminum in the base could melt and liquefy. If
this should occur, turn off the heat source and do not move the cooker until it has cooled down completely. Air
the room.
• Do not fill the pressure cooker to more than ⅔ of its volume. (See "max" marking)
For foods that foam or swell while they are cooking, such as rice, legumes, broths or dried vegetables, do not fill
the pressure cooker to more than half full. (See "½" marking)
• Never leave your pressure cooker unattended. Regulate the energy source so that the traffic light indicator
does not show the red ring. If the energy source is not turned down, steam will escape through the valve and
the amount of liquid in the cooker will be reduced. If all of the liquid should vaporize, the food will burn and the
cooker and burner may be damaged.
• Move the pressure cooker very carefully when it is under pressure. Do not touch the hot surfaces. Use the hand-
les and controls and, if necessary, potholders.
Opening the cooker
• Never try to force the pressure cooker open. Do not open it before you are certain that it has been fully depres-
surized. You will find information on this in Chapter 7.
• Always shake the pressure cooker before you open it, to make sure that pockets of steam will not spatter up and
scald you. This is especially important for quick depressurizing or if you cool the cooker under running water.
• Always keep your hands, head and body out of the danger zone when depressurizing the pressure cooker, for the
escaping steam could injure you. Be particularly careful about this when you are depressurizing quickly with the
help of the release button or the control valve.
Important
• Do not use the pressure cooker if it – or any of its parts – is damaged or deformed or does not function as de-
scribed in these Instructions for Use. In this case, get in touch immediately with the closest Fissler retailer or with
the Customer Service Department at Fissler GmbH. (For the address, see Chapter 13.)
Please keep these Instructions for Use in a safe place.
