3. Turn the lid until the lid handle 2 and the pot
handle 1 are aligned and audibly click into place.
4. Choose the desired cooking setting on the
pressure regulator 8:
I; Slow cooking (1)
II; Fast cooking (2)
For more cooking advice, please read more in the
document Table of cooking times.
5. Place the pressure cooker on a hob which is a
similar size to the base of the pressure cooker.
Caution! The hob should not be bigger than the
base of the pressure cooker. Otherwise this could
lead to too much heat rising up the sides of the
base, thereby damaging the plastic handles.
6. Turn the hob onto the highest setting. As soon as
there is pressure in the pressure cooker, the red
safety valve 4 will move upwards thereby locking
the lid. Note! At the beginning of the cooking time,
a little steam may emerge from the safety valve.
7. As soon as steam starts to come out of the
pressure regulator 8, lower the temperature of the
hob to around 1/2 so that only a small amount of
steam comes out. The pressure cooker starts now
cooking food quickly and saving energy.
Opening the pressure cooker
Caution! If the red safety valve 4 is still raised, the
pressure cooker is still pressurised and the lid cannot
be opened. Under no circumstances should you
attempt to force the lid open, as the sudden release of
pressure could result in scalding. The pressure cooker
will only open once the red safety valve 4 has dropped
down. This can be done either of three ways.
Never entirely immerse the pressure cooker in water.
Otherwise the pressure will instantly drop which can
lead to the base as well as the food being ruined.
Three ways to open the pressure cooker
There are three methods to reduce pressure in the
pressure cooker in order to be able to open it;
Method 1: Releasing steam
This method requires releasing as much steam as
possible until the pressure in the pressure cooker has
decreased enough to be able to remove the lid.
Warning! Be aware that the pressure regulator 8 is
facing away from you when you open the pressure
cooker as this method means that hot steam will
escape from the pressure cooker. Do not cover the
pressure regulator 8 with your hand when turning the
6
pressure regulator to steam release as a lot of steam
will escape right up. You should therefore be careful
not to burning your hand.
1. Remove the pressure cooker from the hob.
2. Carefully turn the pressure regulator 8 to the
steam releasing setting.
3. Wait until the pressure has equalised and the red
safety valve 4 falls back down.
4. Note! As soon as the red safety valve 4 falls back
down, the temperature inside the pressure cooker
is still almost 100 °C.
5. Press the handle release button 3 and turn the lid
anticlockwise at the same time until the circular
mark on the lid is pointing to the circular mark on
the pot handle 1. Note! As soon as you press the
handle release button 3, some residual steam may
escape.
6. Remove the lid from the pot.
Method 2: Saving energy
Method 2 requires the pressure cooker to be turned
