Before First Use; Before Each Use - Tescoma Green Control Gebrauchsanleitung

BEFORE FIRST USE

Thoroughly study these instructions for use before 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
Operating valve
Remove the operating valve by pulling it from the handle of the pressure cooker lid. (A)
NOTICE: Never remove the operating valve from the pressure cooker while the vessel is pressurised.
Check that the outer steel ring moves freely along the axis of the valve and make sure it is not clogged. If
needed, fl ush it under running water or leave to soak. (B)
Visually check the aperture for the operating valve in the lid of the pressure cooker - it must be clean, not
clogged. If clogged, fl ush it under running water or clean using a suitable object. (C)
Check if the nut in the hole of the operating valve in the bottom of the lid is tight enough; if not, tighten
the nut. (D)
Attach the operating valve back to the lid handle after inspecting it and make sure that the pressure
regulator can be set to the positions for low and high pressure and to the position for releasing steam. (E)
Safety valve
Push on the centre of the safety valve in the bottom of the lid - it must spring. Check if the entire safety
valve travels freely in the lid. (F)
Check if the nut of the safety valve is tight enough in the bottom of the lid; if not, tighten the nut. (G)
GREEN CONTROL pressure intensity indicator
Push on the GREEN CONTROL pressure indicator seal in the bottom of the lid - it must spring. (H)
USE
Opening the pressure cooker
Push on the button for opening the lid towards the centre of the lid, turn the lid counter clockwise and
remove it from the vessel. (J)
NEVER APPLY INAPPROPRIATE FORCE WHEN OPENING THE PRESSURE COOKER.
Filling the pressure cooker
FOR SAFETY REASONS, THE PRESSURE COOKER MUST BE FILLED TO A MAXIMUM OF 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 ½ vessel capacity to avoid unwanted clogging of valves and overboiling. (K)
DO NOT COOK WITHOUT WATER IN THE PRESSURE COOKER. THE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF WATER IS 250 ML.
Closing the pressure cooker
Place the lid of the pressure cooker onto the vessel so that the round marks on the lid and on the handle of
the vessel point towards each other and turn the lid clockwise so that the grips and the handles are aligned.
Make sure that the pressure regulator can be easily set to low and high pressure positions. (L)
DO NOT APPLY INAPPROPRIATE FORCE WHEN CLOSING THE PRESSURE COOKER.
