7. Depressurizing the vitavit

Important:
Never try to force the pressure cooker open. The cooker can only be opened when the traffic light indicator
has fallen into its socket completely and no more steam escapes when the release button is activated. Once the
cooker has been depressurized, the release button can be easily pressed in order to open the cooker. Always
gently shake the cooker before you open it, to release steam pockets that may have formed in the food. If you do
not do this, you may be scalded by spattering food and steam.
There are 3 ways to depressurize your vitavit
The way you depressurize depends on the food you are cooking. For foods that tend to foam or rise, such as legu-
mes, soups or stews, or for foods with a delicate peel, such as jacket potatoes, do not select a method that reduces
the pressure quickly, as this could cause the food to be ejected or the peel to burst.
Method 1
"Quick depressurizing with the release button"
See Fig. O
Press the release button (Fig. A-2) gently in the direction shown by the arrow, and steam will escape from under the
lid handle (Fig. A-4). Hold the button in until the traffic light indicator has fallen back into its socket completely and
no more steam is escaping. Then release the button, shake the cooker gently, and press the release button again. Re-
peat this until no more steam escapes. Once the cooker is depressurized, the Euromatic will sink. The release button
can now be pressed in completely to open the cooker.
Note:
As long as there is any pressure in the cooker, the release button cannot be pressed completely. This is normal, and it
ensures that the cooker cannot be accidentally opened while under pressure. Do not try to force the release button!
Method 2
"Let it cool off "
If you would like to take advantage of the residual energy in the cooker, use this method. Shortly before the end of
the cooking time, take the cooker off the stove and just let it gradually cool down until the traffic light indicator has
sunk completely.
