Safety information / Description and advantages of the vitaquick
• Never heat the pressure cooker without any liquid in it as the overheating can result in damage to the device,
the valves, the safety installations, and on the burner. Do not continue to use the pressure cooker as the functions
of the safety installations are no longer guaranteed. Have your pressure cooker checked by the Fissler Customer
Service Department.
Minimum amount: 200-300 ml of water, depending on the diameter of your cooker. (See "min" marking)
In case of extreme overheating, plastic parts on the cooker or the aluminum in the base could melt and liquefy. If
this should occur, turn off the heat source and do not move the cooker until it has cooled down completely. Air
the room.
• Do not fill the pressure cooker to more than ⅔ of its volume. (See "max" marking)
For foods that foam or expand during cooking, such as rice, broths, or dried vegetables, the pressure cooker may
only be filled half full (see „½" marking).
• When cooking beans and other pulses, fill the pressure cooker no higher than the ⅓ marking as their thin skin can
easily rise and block the valves.
• Never leave your pressure cooker unattended. Regulate the energy source so that the cooking indicator does
not rise above the marking for the required cooking level (first or second white ring). If the energy source is not
turned down, steam will escape through the valve and the amount of liquid in the cooker will be reduced. If all of
the liquid should vaporize, the food will burn and the cooker and burner may be damaged.
• Move the pressure cooker very carefully when it is under pressure. Do not touch the hot surfaces. Use the hand-
les and controls and, if necessary, potholders.
Opening the cooker
• Never try to force the pressure cooker open. Do not open it before you are certain that it has been fully depres-
surized. You will find information on this in Chapter 7.
• Always shake the pressure cooker before you open it, to make sure that pockets of steam will not spatter up and
scald you. This is especially important for quick depressurizing or if you cool the cooker under running water.
• Always keep your hands, head and body out of the danger zone when depressurizing the pressure cooker, for the
escaping steam could injure you. Be particularly careful about this when you are depressurizing quickly with the
help of the release button.

Important

• Do not use the pressure cooker if it – or any of its parts – is damaged or deformed or does not function as de-
scribed in these Instructions for Use. In this case, get in touch immediately with the closest Fissler retailer or with
the Customer Service Department at Fissler GmbH. (For the address, see Chapter 13.)
Please keep these Instructions for Use in a safe place.
