BEFORE FIRST USE

Thoroughly study the instructions for use before fi rst use. Thoroughly wash the pressure
cooker and all its parts with warm water and detergent and wipe dry.

BEFORE EACH USE

Inspecting the valves (Fig. A, B, C, D)
Operating valve (1)
Remove the lid from the vessel, turn the pressure regulator to the end left position ( )
and pull upwards to remove it from the lid. Make sure that the aperture in the piston of
the operating valve on the lid is clean and not clogged (Fig. A). If soiled, fl ush it under
running water or clean it using a suitable object such as a thin skewer (Fig. B). Attach the
operating pressure regulator back into position after inspecting it.
Safety valve (2)
Push on the centre of the safety valve - the ball (Fig. C) using a suitable object such
as a thin skewer. The ball must spring and the safety valve must move freely in the lid
aperture.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Opening the pressure cooker (Fig. D)
Move the lid open / close button (6) to the centre of the lid, hold it and turn the lid
counter clockwise (the "OPEN" symbol). Remove the lid from the vessel.
DO NOT APPLY INAPPROPRIATE FORCE WHEN OPENING THE PRESSURE COOKER.
Filling the pressure cooker (Fig. E)
FOR SAFETY REASONS, THE PRESSURE COOKER MUST BE FILLED TO A MAXIMUM OF
2/3 VESSEL CAPACITY.
With foods that tend to froth or swell when heated, such as soups or lentils, rice, etc., fi ll
the pressure cooker to a maximum of 1/2 vessel capacity to avoid unwanted clogging
of valves and overboiling.
DO NOT COOK WITHOUT WATER IN THE PRESSURE COOKER. THE MINIMUM AMOUNT
OF WATER IS 250 ML.
Closing the pressure cooker (Fig. F)
Place the lid (4) onto the vessel so that the arrow on the lid and the arrow on the vessel
grip point towards each other. Turn the lid clockwise (the "CLOSE" symbol) so that
the vessel grips and the lid grips are aligned. A clicking sound will be heard and the
lid open / close button (6) will automatically move to the initial position. If this does not
happen, move the button to the initial position manually.
DO NOT APPLY INAPPROPRIATE FORCE WHEN CLOSING THE PRESSURE COOKER.
