USING THE PRESSURE COOKER

- DURING USE -

1. Place the cooker on the heat source. Do not carry it using the closure button, use
only the side handles and if necessary kitchen gloves or another mean of protection.
Note that when heating using the induction method extremely high temperatu-
res are attained in a few seconds, requiring greater precaution and vigilance. The
heat source flame or disc should never exceed the diameter of the base of the
cooker in order to ensure greater energy efficiency and to prevent the cooker
from being damaged. When using a glass-ceramic or induction hob, ensure both
the plate and the base of the cooker are cleaned and dried in order to guarantee
your safety. Do not drag the cooker so as not to scratch the heat plate / source.
2. Select the pressure level you wish to use.
Level 1 (0.5 bar/ 50 kPa): For quick cooking;
Level 2 (0.9 bar/ 90 kPa): For extremely quick cooking.
3. Start counting the cooking time when steam begins to come out of the adjust-
ment valve on a constant basis.
4. If when using the pressure cooker the pressure indicator fails to rise and/ or
the regulator valve does not release any steam, check if the heat source is power-
ful enough. If this situation persists, depressurize the cooker and check:
- If there is sufficient liquid in the cooker;
- If the cooker is properly closed;
- If the adjustment valve is unobstructed;
- If the sealing ring or the rim of the cooker is damaged;
- If the pressure gauge is unobstructed.
Note that it is normal for the adjustment valve not to release steam or to release
intermittent steam in the first few minutes of cooking.
5. Do not place objects on the pressure indicator and/ or adjustment valve while
the cooker is in operation.
6. Take advantage of the stored heat and save energy by turning off the heat
source, before the estimated time for the food preparation.
