Slower method:
As soon as cooking has finished, remove
from the heat and allow the pot to cool
down. The red cap of the safety valve sinks
– clearly visible in the inspection window of
the safety valve.
NOTE
► Be aware that this cool-down time is
part of the cooking time.
faster method:
To achieve faster cooling down and release
of pressure in the pressure cooker, move
the regulating valve to the fast steam posi-
tion so that the steam can escape and
the pressure can be released.
WArNING
► Keep a sufficient distance away from
the escaping steam to avoid injuries from
scalding.

Cleaning and care

Before beginning any work, pay attention to
the safety instructions in the section Safety
instructions (p. 9)!
Allow the pressure cooker to cool down to
avoid burns!
NOTE
► Pot body, lid and sealing ring must NOT
be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Pressure cooker
For cleaning, use a commercially avail-
‹
able washing up liquid and dry the pressure
cooker thoroughly.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or hard
‹
sponges for cleaning as they may scratch
the stainless steel.
In the event of calcium deposits, you can
‹
boil diluted vinegar in the pressure cooker.
Do not put the lid on during this.
Sealing ring
Remove all soiling thoroughly and dry
‹
the sealing ring.
Insert the sealing ring back into the lid as
‹
described in the section Inserting the seal-
ing ring (p. 12).
NOTE
► Do not put the sealing ring into the
dishwasher. The material will become
brittle.
► Replace the sealing ring regularly with
a new one (every one to two years depend-
ing in the frequency of use or a soon as
wear becomes apparent) to ensure perfect
operation of the pressure cooker. Pay par-
ticular attention to brittle material, cracks,
discolouring, deformations and hardening.
Safety valve
The safety valve must be thoroughly
cleaned after each use.
1. Hold the valve on both sides, holding it
under running water.
2. Make sure that the holes are always
clean and exposed. Remove crusted food
residue with a small needle.
3. Check movability as described in the
section Checking safety valve (p. 12).
regulating valve
The regulating valve must be thoroughly
cleaned after each use.

4. Clean all individual parts thoroughly in
the warm dishwater.
