Never entirely immerse the pressure cooker in water.
Otherwise the pressure will instantly drop which can
lead to the base as well as the food being ruined.
Three ways to open the pressure cooker
There are three methods to reduce pressure in the
pressure cooker in order to be able to open it;
Method 1: Releasing steam
This method requires releasing as much steam as
possible until the pressure in the pressure cooker has
decreased enough to be able to remove the lid.
Warning! Be aware that the pressure regulator 8 is
facing away from you when you open the pressure
cooker as this method means that hot steam will
escape from the pressure cooker. Do not cover the
pressure regulator 8 with your hand when turning the
pressure regulator to steam release as a lot of steam
will escape right up. You should therefore be careful
not to burning your hand.
1. Remove the pressure cooker from the hob.
2. Carefully turn the pressure regulator 8 to the
steam releasing setting.
3. Wait until the pressure has equalised and the red
safety valve 4 falls back down.
4. Note! As soon as the red safety valve 4 falls back
down, the temperature inside the pressure cooker
is still almost 100 °C.
5. Press the handle release button 3 and turn the lid
anticlockwise at the same time until the circular
mark on the lid is pointing to the circular mark on
the pot handle 1. Note! As soon as you press the
handle release button 3, some residual steam may
escape.

6. Remove the lid from the pot.
Method 2: Saving energy
Method 2 requires the pressure cooker to be turned
off a few minutes before the food has finished
cooking, leaving the pressure cooker on the hob. This
uses the residual heat optimally and saves energy.
1. Wait until the pressure has stabilised and the red
safety valve 4 drops down. Note! When the safety
valve 4 drops down, the temperature inside the
pressure cooker is still around 100 °C.
2. Press the handle release button 3 and turn the lid
anticlockwise at the same time until the circular
mark on the lid is pointing to the circular mark on
the pot handle 1.Note! As soon as you press the
handle release button 3, some residual steam may
escape.
3. Remove the lid from the pot.
Method 3: Saving time
Method 3 requires you to remove the pressure cooker
from the hob once the food has finished cooking. In
order to be able to open the lid straight away, the
pressure in the base has to be released manually. This
method in particular saves time.
1. Hold the pressure cooker under running water
until the safety valve 4 drops down (the pressure
of the water should not be too high). Caution!
Take care to prevent the water jet from hitting the
pressure regulator 8 or the safety valve 4, as water
might otherwise get inside the pot and dilute your
food.
2. Press the handle release button 3 and turn the lid
anticlockwise at the same time until the circular
mark on the lid is pointing to the circular mark on
the pot handle 1. Note! As soon as you press the
handle release button 3, some residual steam may
escape.
3. Remove the lid from the pot.
