The pressure indicator will slip in automatically after the pressure in the vessel drops
entirely and the pressure cooker can be opened.
If the pressure indicator is in the upper position and the pressure cooker cannot be opened,
pressure still remains in the vessel. Make sure that the operating valve is set to the steam
release position. If the pressure cooker still cannot be opened, cool the lid with a small
amount of slowly running cold water until the safety valve slips in automatically.
NEVER COOL THE PRESSURE COOKER ABRUPTLY, DO NOT LET WATER RUN ONTO
PLASTIC PARTS AND DO NOT IMMERSE THE ENTIRE PRESSURE COOKER IN WATER.
SAFETY CUT-OUTS
Operating valve (1)
The operating valve controls the high and low pressure, continuously releases excess
steam and releases all steam from the pressure cooker at the end of cooking.
Safety valve (2)
The safety valve operates as a backup activated when the operating valve becomes
clogged. Immediately remove the pressure cooker from the heat source if steam
ceases to escape from the operating valve and starts to escape intensely from the safety
valve during the cooking process. After the pressure cooker cools down, open it and
clean the operating valve.
Warning! A minute amount of steam may escape also from the safety valve
during the cooking process!
Pressure indicator with a lock against accidental opening (3)
Indicates that the operating pressure in the vessel has been reached and simultaneously
prevents accidental opening of the lid until all steam and pressure escape from
the pressure cooker.
Pressure cut-out - aperture in the rim of the lid (7)
If the operating valve and the safety valve become clogged at once, the pressure in the
pressure cooker pushes the silicone seal (8) through the aperture in the rim of the lid,
which causes an immediate drop in pressure and steam release.
IF THE SILICONE SEAL IS PUSHED THROUGH THE APERTURE IN THE RIM OF THE
LID, DO NOT REPAIR THE PRESSURE COOKER YOURSELF; INSTEAD BRING IT IN FOR
PROFESSIONAL SERVICING.
PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS
ALWAYS USE AN APPROPRIATE SIZE OF COOKING RANGE OR FLAME FOR COOKING.
The diameter of the cooking range must be identical or smaller than the diameter
of the bottom of the pressure cooker! Flame must never expand beyond the bottom
of the pressure cooker. Use the dispenser net or cooking range when cooking on gas.
Switch the heat off in advance before the end of cooking; make use of the heat
