Before First Use; Before Each Use - Tescoma BIO EXCLUSIVE+ Gebrauchsanleitung

BEFORE FIRST USE

Thoroughly study these instructions for use before the fi rst use. Wash the pressure cooker and all its parts
with warm water and detergent and wipe dry.

BEFORE EACH USE

Inspecting the valves (Fig. A, B, C, D, E, F, G)
Operating valve
Remove the pressure regulator by pulling it from the lid and make sure that its central part travels
freely up and down (Fig. A). Check visually that the aperture in the piston of the operating valve on
the lid is clean and not clogged (Fig. B). Otherwise fl ush it under running water or clean it using a suitable
object such as a thin skewer (Fig. C).
Check if the nut of the operating valve on the bottom of the lid is tight enough. If not, tighten the nut.
Attach the pressure regulator back to the lid handle after inspecting it, push the steam release button
several times and make sure that the pressure regulator freely travels up and down (Fig. D) and can be
easily set to the low and high pressure positions.
Safety valve
Push on the centre of the safety valve using a suitable object such as a thin skewer - it must spring
freely (Fig. E).
Then push the lock against accidental opening on the bottom of the lid grip away from the centre of the
lid and hold it - the safety valve on the bottom of the lid must travel freely up and down (Fig. F).
Check if the nut of the safety valve is tight enough; if not, tighten the nut.
Lock against accidental opening
Push the lock against accidental opening several times away from the centre of the lid - the lock
must spring (Fig. G).
INSPECT THE VALVES AND THE LOCK BEFORE EACH USE OF THE PRESSURE COOKER, APPLYING DUE CARE.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Opening the pressure cooker (Fig. H)
Push and hold the steam release / lid opening button, turn the lid counterclockwise and lift it off
the vessel.
NEVER APPLY INAPPROPRIATE FORCE WHEN OPENING THE PRESSURE COOKER.
Filling the pressure cooker (Fig. J)
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., fi ll the pressure cooker
to a maximum of 1/2 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. K)
Place the lid onto the vessel so that the round marks on the lid and on the handle of the vessel point
towards each other. Turn the lid clockwise so that the grips and the handles are aligned. Make sure
that the pressure regulator is inserted in the lid; if not, push it down lightly.
