of the pressure cooker and the stove are completely free of dirt in order
to avoid possible scratches in the glass.
• Use with gas stove: It is recommended to keep the flame within the
diameter of the pressure cooker bottom and avoid the burning of its
walls.
• Use of induction stove: it is recommended to use a stove that equals
the diameter of the diffusing base of the pressure cooker.
Pressure cooker selector
The pressure cooker has a working valve that allows a gradual selection
of the cooking pressure. The recommended cooking pressures are
indicated in the lid by three kinds of
pictograms representing three different
levels of pressure:
• 0,6 kg/cm , minimum working/
2

Triple diffusing base
In order to take the maximum advantage of the heat transmission
efficiency Monix pressure cookers include a triple diffusing base made
by impact bounding with a stainless steel-aluminum-stainless steel
structure for an homogeneous distribution of the energy transmitted
from the stove. The main body of the Monix pressure cooker is made of
high quality 18/10 stainless steel to guarantee its long lasting.
Triple safety system
The Monix pressure cooker has three safety systems
in order to guarantee the maximum levels of safety
during its use.
• The working valve acts releasing the surplus of
steam in case of excess of pressure inside the
pressure cooker through the air vent located in the
Pressure Selector device. (1)
• In the unlikely event of obstruction of the
working valve a security valve would release the
overpressure inside the pressure cooker.
• The third safety system would act in the case of
malfunction of the working and security valve by
expanding the silicone gasket and releasing the
surplus of pressure inside the cooker through the
groove located in the edge of the stainless steel lid.
