Always ensure the pressure regulator 8 is facing away
from you during use and that it is not facing where
others may pass by. In the event of a fault, a lot of
steam will escape.
Should steam escape from the safety valve 4 or the
safety pressure window 7, immediately turn off the
heat supply since the pressure inside the pressure
cooker is too high. Do not continue to use the
pressure cooker until the problem has been corrected
(see section "Troubleshooting").
To avoid damaging the pressure cooker, you should
ensure that the pot always contains at least 0.25 litres
of liquid, so that sufficient steam can be produced and
the pressure cooker doesn't overheat and boil dry.
WARNING: Repairs to the pressure cooker may only be
made by an authorised professional.
Good to know
The pressure cooker is suitable for use on all types of
hobs, including induction hobs.
The pressure cooker can be used as a traditional
pot (without the lid) to brown food before pressure
cooking.
By placing the pressure cooker on a hob with the same
or a smaller diameter you can save energy.
Always lift the pressure cooker when moving it on a
glass ceramic hob to avoid the risk of scratching the
hob.
Bear in mind that the pressure cooker gets hot during
use. Always handle with pot holders.
Never let the pressure cooker boil dry, this would
seriously damage it.
The pressure cooker is designed exclusively for
cooking, not for storing food. Food that is stored in
the pressure cooker for a longer period may affect the
surface and take on the taste of metal.
When the pressure cooker is used on a gas hob make
certain the flames do not touch the handles.
5. Instructions for use
Before each use
Before cooking with the pressure cooker, you should
check all the safety functions to avoid causing any
damage to the pressure cooker.
1. Check that the openings for the pressure regulator
8 on the inside of the lid are clean.
2. Should this not be the case, clean the pressure
regulator 8 (see section "Cleaning and storing").
3. Check that the safety valve 4 is movable and not
stuck.
4. Check that the gasket 6 is not damaged in any way,
i.e. that it is not split. Note! Over time the gasket
can become hard and will therefore no longer
provide an air-tight seal. This will lead to steam
escaping from the rim of the lid and the gasket
will therefore require replacing. For replacement
gaskets, please contact your nearest IKEA Store/
Customer service or visit www.ikea.com.
How to use the pressure cooker
1. Fill the pot with food and/or liquid. Caution! Never
fill the pressure cooker with food and liquid above
the "MAX" mark on the inside of the pot. This
corresponds to a maximum of 4 litres (for pressure
cooker with usable capacity of 6 litres). When
cooking food that swells, such as rice or pulses,
you should never fill the pot above the "½" mark
on the inside of the pot. This will prevent the food
from reaching the lid and potentially blocking the
pressure regulator and the safety valve.
2. Place the lid 5 on the pot 10 in such a way that the
circular mark on the lid is pointing to the circular
mark on the pot handle's lower part 1.
3. Turn the lid until the lid handle 2 and the pot
handle 1 are aligned and audibly click into place.
4. Choose the desired cooking setting on the
pressure regulator 8:
I; Slow cooking (1)
II; Fast cooking (2)
For more cooking advice, please read more in the
document Table of cooking times.
5. Place the pressure cooker on a hob which is a
similar size to the base of the pressure cooker.
Caution! The hob should not be bigger than the
base of the pressure cooker. Otherwise this could
lead to too much heat rising up the sides of the
base, thereby damaging the plastic handles.
6. Turn the hob onto the highest setting. As soon as
there is pressure in the pressure cooker, the red
safety valve 4 will move upwards thereby locking
the lid. Note! At the beginning of the cooking time,
a little steam may emerge from the safety valve.
7. As soon as steam starts to come out of the
pressure regulator 8, lower the temperature of the
hob to around 1/2 so that only a small amount of
steam comes out. The pressure cooker starts now
cooking food quickly and saving energy.
Opening the pressure cooker
Caution! If the red safety valve 4 is still raised, the
pressure cooker is still pressurised and the lid cannot
be opened. Under no circumstances should you
attempt to force the lid open, as the sudden release of
pressure could result in scalding. The pressure cooker
will only open once the red safety valve 4 has dropped
down. This can be done either of three ways.
