5) Preparing the stove
Set the stove to the highest power level. Cooking in the pressure cooker starts with the placement of the pot on to the stove.
As soon as steam begins to escape from the work valve, turn the stove to a lower level. After the necessary cooking time elapses,
turn the stove off .
6) Cooking and releasing steam
Slowly and carefully release the steam or wait until the pressure falls completely.
Slowly turn the pressure valve from position II to position I for a few seconds and then to the pressure release position
Never turn the work valve from position II to the pressure release position
If you are cooking at level I, you can turn it directly to the pressure release position
WARNING: escaping steam is extremely hot. Other methods for lowering pressure are described on the following pages.
7) Ending the cooking process
Wait until all the steam escapes from the pressure cooker before opening it and then you can turn the pressure cooker off . You
can open the lid and carefully remove the food.
WARNING: never open the lid using force, the lid may still be hot
SAFETY SYSTEMS AND THE LID
This pressure cooker provides you with many advantages and safety elements:
The two-level pressure valve together with the instructions and the cooking time table can sometimes be used as a guide. That is
why this pressure cooker has a two-level pressure value. The advantage of the following indicator is that it makes it possible, ba-
sed on the size and amount of food that you wish to cook, to set the pressure in the pressure cooker individually using the valve.
Refer to the time table at the end of this user's manual where you will fi nd the basic settings. You will cook much healthier me-
als. Your food will be cooked very gently because you will cook it for a shorter time in steam without oxygen. Every mine saved
represents more important vitamins, nutrients and minerals that are saved. The food you cook will taste better. Cooking without
oxygen signifi cantly helps in retaining fl avour and the natural colour of your vegetables. You will cook faster and save time and
energy. Using this pressure cooker will save you up to 70% of the time that you have spent cooking until now. Furthermore, you
will save energy, up to 60% for dishes with a longer cooking times and 30 – 40% for dishes with shorter cooking times. Further
safety elements are described below.
PRESSURE VALVE:
for continuously variable cooking settings. The valve automatically maintains pressure and heat at the required setting:
Position I (gentle cooking) - 70 kPA - approximately 118 °C
Position II (rapid cooking) - 100 kPA - approximately 130 °C
The pressure valve can also be set to a pressure release position
Safe pressure is in the range 1.4 – 1.8 bar (140-180 kPa) - the valve opens and pressure is released, the maximum permitted
pressure for this pressure cooker is: 3 bar (300kPa).
SAFETY VALVE:
A RED pressure indicator can be seen while the pressure in the pressure cooker is rising; the pot is locked at this
time (never attempt to open the lid by force).
If the pressure indicator is not visible, there is no more pressure in the pressure cooker. You can open it. If for whatever reason the
control valve does not release pressure as it should, the valve will open in accordance with the prescribed values.
