- While stored, the pressure cooker must not
be closed, in order to prevent the joint from
becoming misshapen and to enable it to
function correctly.
- Allow frozen foods to thaw before cooking
them. Pre-soak pulses and dried fruit.
- Start cooking foods which form a foam
without the lid and once the foam has been
eliminated, with the lid closed.
- Little water is needed for cooking with a
pressure cooker, since only a small quantity
of water is lost if foods are not cooked for a
long time.
- The high pressure and the steam make foods
lose colour. You can use coloured spices
to give the food a better, more appetizing
appearance.
- Lower the focus of heat if soup spills out.
REPLACING THE JOINT
- The discolouring of the joint does not cause
any problems. Depending on how often you
use the cooker, the joint should be replaced
every one or two years. If you detect damage,
breakages or deformations, replace the joint
immediately.
- Caution: Only use genuine spare parts. If you
cannot find genuine spare parts to repair the
cooker, contact your supplier.
PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS
- 1.If the safety valve does not rise, this may
be due to the fact that:
- The lid is not attached and closed properly,
- The strength of the heat source is too low
and must be increased;
- The joint is dirty, damaged or misshapen and
must be either cleaned or replaced;
- There is too little water in the pan (check the
filling quantity).
- 2.If steam is being released from underneath
the lid and not through the pressure valve,
this may be due to the fact that:
- The lid is not correctly fitted and closed (close
the lid correctly);
- The joint is not properly fitted or is dirty,
damaged or misshapen and must be either
cleaned or replaced;
- 3. If you cannot easily open or close the lid,
this may be due to the fact that:
- The joint is not a genuine spare part and
does not adjust to the lid (only use genuine
spare parts).
- the safety valve has not yet descended
when opening the lid (wait until it descends
completely);
- the safety valve is misshapen. To repair or re-
place misshapen parts, contact an authorised
service centre.
CAUTION:
- Only use genuine spare parts. If you cannot
find genuine spare parts to repair the cooker,
contact your supplier.
Reference table
- This table contains suggestions only. You can
decide the optimum cooking times according
to your preferences.
- The pressure cooker is designed for use on a
stable heat source, such as an electric plate,
an induction plate or a gas hob.
- The cooking time must be calculated from
when a regular and constant quantity of
steam is released through the pressure relea-
se selector valve.
- This may be influenced by the filling quantity,
temperature and heat strength. The recom-
mended cooking times are suggestions only.
