BEFORE FIRST USE
Thoroughly study these instructions before fi rst use. Wash the pressure cooker and all its parts with warm
water and detergent and wipe them dry.
BEFORE EACH USE
Inspecting the valves
Operating valve
Check the holes in the nut of the operating valve on the bottom of the lid of the pressure cooker – they must
be clean, not clogged. If clogged, fl ush them under running water or clean using a suitable object (Fig. A).
Check if the nut of the operating valve in the bottom of the lid is tight enough; if not, tighten the nut with
your hand (Fig. B).
After inspection, make sure that the pressure regulator IDEALCOOK can be smoothly adjusted to any
operating position as well as the position for releasing steam xxxx(Fig. C).
Safety valve
Push on the centre of the safety valve in the bottom of the lid – it must spring. Make sure that the entire
safety valve moves freely in the lid and the seal of the safety valve is not damaged (Fig. D).
Pressure indicator
Push on the pressure indicator seal in the centre of the nut of the operating valve in the bottom of the
lid – it must spring (Fig. E).
USING THE PRESSURE COOKER
Opening the pressure cooker
Rotate the closure clockwise (Fig. F) and remove the lid from the pressure cooker vessel (Fig. G).
ALWAYS OPEN THE PRESSURE COOKER ONLY AFTER RELEASING ALL STEAM. NEVER APPLY INAPPROPRIATE
FORCE WHEN OPENING THE PRESSURE COOKER.
Filling the pressure cooker
FOR SAFETY REASONS, THE PRESSURE COOKER MUST BE FILLED TO A MAXIMUM OF VESSEL CAPACITY.
With foods that tend to froth or swell when heated, such as soups or lentils, rice, etc., fi ll the pressure
cooker to a maximum of ½ vessel capacity to avoid unwanted clogging of valves and boiling over (Fig. H).
DO NOT COOK WITHOUT WATER IN THE PRESSURE COOKER. THE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF WATER IS 250 ml.
Closing the pressure cooker
Hold the lid of the pressure cooker by the rotating closure, attach it vertically to the vessel, rotate the
closure counter-clockwise and close the pressure cooker (Fig. J).
