2.1 Intended use

This GSW BioStar Pressure Cooker is an energy-
saving appliance which allows you to cook your
food gently. The base of the pressure cooker can
be used as a normal pan simply by removing the
lid. When used under pressure, i.e. with the lid
on, the pressure cooker must be used with water
in it. The pressure cooker may become badly
damaged if it is heated without sufficient water.
Under no circumstances should this appliance be
used with the lid on for frying with oil. The
pressure cooker is suitable for all commercial
types of cookers, including gas, electric, ceramic,
halogen and magnetic cookers. Under no
circumstances should the appliance be used in
the oven. This appliance is designed for use in
private households and is not suitable for
commercial use.

2.3 Function description

In order for the pressure cooker to seal in air and
steam, pressure is created inside the appliance
whilst cooking which is considerably higher than
average air pressure.
The increased pressure inside the pressure cooker
means that the temperature is able to exceed
100 °C. The increased temperature cooks your
food quickly and gently.
Both the base and the lid have been
manufactured from high-quality stainless steel.
The extra strong GSW thermo-base ensures
optimal and even heat distribution and retention.
The pan comes with a pressure regulator in the
lid which keeps the desired pressure setting
constant.

2.4 Safety devices

Several safety systems ensure that your
appliance will function safely, even in the event of
a technical fault.
The pressure regulator 3 ensures the pressure
remains constant within the pressure cooker. It is
possible that some steam may continuously
escape during use.
The safety valve 2 releases any excess pressure
in the event that the pressure regulator
malfunctions. If the pressure regulator 3 and
security valve 2 both fail, excess pressure can
also be let out using the safety opening 6 which
arches the sealing ring 7 thereby creating an
opening.
The lock 4 only slides forward to open the lid if
the pressure inside is stable and the red safety 2
valve falls down.
