Releasing Steam From The Vitaquick; Cleaning & Care; Cleaning - Fissler vitaquick Gebrauchs- Und Pflegehinweise

EN
Basic rules:
1. The cooking time on setting 2 is approximately ½ to ⅓ of the time normally required
when using a conventional pot.
2. The cooking time on setting 1 is about 50% longer than on setting 2.
3. Cooking times may vary depending on the quantity, shape, size and texture of the food.
Example of jacket potatoes:
Normal cooking time Cooking setting 2
approx. 30 min approx. 12 min.
At the end of the cooking time, remove the pressure cooker from the hob and allow the
pressure to escape (see notes in the following chapter). Only then can you open it.
You can find other cooking times from page 526 ff.

7. Releasing steam from the vitaquick

WARNING!
Never force the pressure cooker open. The pot must not be opened until the
cooking indicator has lowered completely and no more steam escapes when the
control button is pressed.
There are 3 ways to release steam from your Fissler pressure cooker
You should choose the method for steam release depending on the food being cooked.
For slightly foaming or rising foods such as pulses, soups or stews or for foods with
delicate skins such as jacket potatoes, do not use a method with rapid pressure reduction,
as otherwise the food may spill out or the skin may crack.
Method 1
Quick steam release using the control button
See Figure O
Lightly press the control button (Fig. A-7) in the direction of the arrow to release steam
from under the lid handle (Fig. A-6). Hold the button down until the cooking indicator has
completely lowered and no more steam escapes.
Then release the button gently, shake the pot and press the control button again. Repeat
this process until no more steam escapes. When the pot is depressurized, the Euromatic
lowers. The control button can now be pressed all the way down to open the pot.
Note:
As long as there is pressure in the pot, the control button cannot be pressed all the way
down. This is for your safety, as it prevents the pot from being opened accidentally when it
is still under pressure. Do not try to force the control button down.

Method 2
Allow to cool
You can choose this method to use the residual energy in the pot.
To do this, remove the pot from the hob shortly before the end of the cooking time and
allow it to cool slowly until the cooking indicator has gone all the way down.
Then, lightly press the control button to release any remaining pressure. Release the
button as soon as no more steam escapes, then gently shake the pot and press the
control button again. Repeat this process until no more steam escapes. When the pot is
depressurized, the Euromatic lowers. Now, the control button can be pressed all the way
down to open the pot.
This method is particularly suitable for dishes with long cooking times.
Method 3
Quick steam release under running water
See Figure Q
If the escaping steam bothers you, you can also depressurize the pot under running water.
To do this, place the pot in the sink and run cold water over the side of the lid (not over the
lid handle and pressure regulator) until the cooking indicator has lowered completely.
Then, lightly press the control button to release any remaining pressure. Release the
button as soon as no more steam escapes, then gently shake the pot and press the
control button again. Repeat this process until no more steam escapes. When the pot is
depressurized, the Euromatic lowers. The control button can now be pressed all the way
down to open the pot.
8. Cleaning & care

Cleaning

Clean the pressure cooker after each use.
• Remove the sealing ring from the lid and rinse by hand.
• Remove the pressure regulator and wipe it off using a damp cloth.
• Remove the lid handle and rinse under running water.
• The pot, lid (without sealing ring, pressure regulator and lid handle) and inserts can
also be cleaned in the dishwasher
Please note:
• To clean, use hot rinsing water with normal dish liquid and a pot sponge or soft brush.
Please avoid pointy, rough or sharp objects. You can also use the scrubber side of a
sponge if the inside and base of the cookware is very dirty.
• Do not let food residues dry and do not keep food in the pot for a long time because
this can cause stains on the stainless steel and changes to the surface.
• To preserve the stainless steel surface, use a stainless steel care product regularly. This
will remove white spots, tarnish and any built-up film.
• When cleaning in the dishwasher, only use household products in the dosage
