tant.
Supervision
• Never use the pressure cooker near children.
Uses for the pressure cooker
• Only use the pressure cooker for the purposes described in the Instructions for Use. (See Chapter 8)
• Never use the pressure cooker or pressure skillet in the oven. The handles, valves, and safety installations would be
damaged by the high temperatures and would subsequently be unable to perform their safety functions.
• When deep-frying in the pressure cooker, do not cover it, and only fill it halfway with oil. Never deep-fry under
pressure! (See Chapter 8)
• Pressure cookers may not be used for medical purposes – especially not as sterilizers, as pressure cookers are not
designed to reach the temperatures necessary for sterilizing.
• Do not cook applesauce or stewed fruits in a pressure cooker, because pockets of steam often form that can
spatter up when the cooker is opened and cause scalding.
• When meat is cooked in the pressure cooker, an overpressure develops in the meat. For this reason, after you
open the pressure cooker wait a little while before you pierce or move the meat to avoid burning yourself.

Safety and maintenance

• Each time you use your pressure cooker, make sure beforehand that none of the valves and safety mechanisms are
damaged or dirty and that they function properly. This is the only way to guarantee that it will operate safely. You
will find information on this in Chapter 5.
• Do not alter the pressure cooker – especially the safety mechanisms – in any way, other than performing the
maintenance measures mentioned in the Instructions for Use. Do not oil the valves.
• Replace parts which are subject to wear, such as the rubber gasket and other rubber parts, regularly with original
Fissler spare parts after c. 400 cooking operations or at the latest after two years. Parts which are clearly damaged
(e.g. hardening, cracks, discolorations, overheating, or deformation) or do not fit properly must be replaced imme-
diately. Failure to do so will result in the efficiency and safety of your pressure cooker being reduced.
• Use only original Fissler replacement parts. It is especially important for you to only use pots and lids for the same
model, as well as other replacement parts that are intended specifically for your cooker. (See Chapter 12)
• For your own safety, please retighten loosened screws immediately.
• For your own safety, you should immediately replace cracked or damaged plastic handles with original Fissler
replacement parts.
Operation of the pressure cooker
• The cooker is under pressure when in use. Incorrect use can result in burns. Make sure that the cooker is properly
closed before you build pressure. You will find information on this in Chapter 4. Never use the pressure cooker
with the lid placed loosely on top of it.
