Pressure cut-out – aperture in the rim of the lid
If both the operating valve and the safety valve become clogged, the pressure inside the pressure
cooker pushes the silicone seal through the aperture in the rim of the lid, which causes an immediate
steam release and drop in pressure inside the pressure cooker. If the silicone seal is pushed through
the aperture in the rim of the lid, remove the pressure cooker from heat and leave to cool down. The
pressure cooker seal made of heat-resistant silicone is designed for approx. 500 hours of operation.
If you are not using the pressure cooker on a regular basis, replace the seal regularly at two-year
intervals. If the seal has been pushed through the aperture in the rim of the lid or the seal shows
any signs of leakage or loss of elasticity, it must be immediately replaced with a new original seal,
available at the TESCOMA Retail Centres or at an authorised service centre – for contact details, visit
www.tescoma.com.
ATTENTION! WHEN COOKING WITH THE PRESSURE COOKER, MAKE SURE THAT THE APERTURE IN THE
RIM OF THE LID IS NOT DIRECTED TOWARDS INDIVIDUALS COMING NEAR THE PRESSURE COOKER.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Clean the pressure cooker with normal detergents; avoid using abrasive cleaning agents and sharp
objects. The pressure cooker can be cleaned using special agents for stainless steel cookware – for
excellent cleaning results, we recommend Cleaner for stainless steel cookware Profi MATE
500 ml, Aloe Vera (code 903131). Do not store the pressure cooker with the lid on.
Cleaning the lid
Clean the lid of the pressure cooker under running water. Do not wash it in dishwasher.
Cleaning the vessel
The vessel of the pressure cooker is dishwasher safe. Leave an excessively dirty vessel to soak in
water or water with detergent before cleaning.
Notice: If cooking in the vessel without the lid on, add salt only after the water starts boiling. Adding
salt to cold water can cause a high concentration of table salt at the bottom of the vessel, which
results in the occurrence of light stains called pitting corrosion. These light stains on the bottom of
the vessel do not aff ect functioning of the product and are not hazardous to health. As such they do
not represent a fault and cannot be claimed.
Should white sediments or iridescent colouration appear on the inside of the vessel, use vinegar,
drops of lemon or a special cleaning agent for stainless steel to clean the spots. These are sediments,
the formation of which depends on the chemical composition of the water being used. In dishwash-
ing, make sure that the stainless steel cookware is not in contact with other metal kitchen utensils to
avoid rusty or light stains, called contact corrosion, on the surface of the cookware. Open the door
of the dishwasher as soon as possible after the washing cycle and remove the cookware.
Corrosion can also be transferred to the cookware in water from some other product; we therefore
recommend limiting or eliminating dishwashing in order to preserve the perfect appearance of the
pressure cooker vessel.
