The indicated settings should serve as guidelines. For induction cooking, depending on the power, lower settings may
be used. Please also refer to the information given in the instructions for your stove.
Whether empty or containing fat, an open pressure cooker may never be heated at the highest energy level for
more than 2 minutes. If overheated, the base can turn golden. This discoloration does not affect how well the cooker
functions, however.
Solid/glass ceramic (radiation/halogen): The diameter of the burner should be the same as or smaller than the
diameter of the pot base.
Gas stove: Place the cooker in the center, and make sure that the flames do not extend up the sides of the cooker.
Flames can damage the plastic handles.
Induction: Always place the cooker in the center of the cooking zone. The base of the pot should be the same size
as or larger than the cooking zone. Otherwise, it is possible that the cooking zone will not be triggered by the pot
base.
Special information for induction stoves: To prevent overheating and damage to the cookware as a result of the
high induction power, never heat the cooker up empty or unattended. Please also adhere to the Instructions for Use
provided by the stove manufacturer. A humming sound may come from your cooker while it is in use. This sound has
technical reasons and does not indicate that there is a defect in your stove or cookware.

Tips for saving energy

- When cooking at the gentle or speed setting, regulate the energy source so that the traffic light indicator does not
enter the red area and the valve does not begin to release steam.
- When cooking at the pressureless steaming setting, regulate the energy source so that only a slight plume of steam
is released from the lid handle or control valve.
- Use a burner that is the right size. (See notes above)
- Choose cookware that is the right size for the amount of food you are preparing.
- Take advantage of the heat stored in the base. Turn off the heat source even before the end of the cooking period,
so that you can use the cooling off period.
