could be damaged by the high temperatures.

c. While using
-
The cooker is under pressure when in use. Improper use can result in burns. Make sure that
the cooker is properly closed before using it. Never use the pressure cooker with the lid
placed slack on top of it. See details for closing the lid correctly under point 3. Pressure cooking
– that's so simple.
-
Only use the stove types that are described in this instruction sheet.
-
Make sure that the pressure cooker contains liquid before you heat it up. Ensure that the
liquid does not completely evaporate. Otherwise the food may burn and the pressure cooker
or stove may be damaged. In case of extreme overheating, plastic parts or the aluminium
can melt. In this case, turn off the stove immediately and do not move the cooker until it has
cooled down completely. Air the kitchen.
-
Do not fill the pressure cooker to more than 2/3 of its capacity. When cooking food that
expands as it cooks, such as rice, cereals or dried vegetables, do not fill the pressure cooker to
a maximum of half its capacity.
-
Never leave your pressure cooker unattended. Regulate the heat when the red safety valve
(4) becomes visible. Otherwise the liquid in the cooker will be reduced very fast. The cooking
times are affected. If all of the liquid should be vaporized, the food may burn and the cooker
may be damaged.
-
Move the pressure cooker very carefully when it is under pressure. Do not touch the hot sur-
faces of the pressure cooker, but only the handles and buttons. If necessary, use pot holders.
d. While opening
-
Never try to open the pressure cooker with force when it is under pressure. Do not open it
before you are certain that it has fully depressurized. See details for depressurize the pressure
cooker perfectly under point 4. Proper steam release and opening, method 1 – 3.
-
Always shake the pressure cooker carefully before you open it, to make sure that pockets of
steam will not spit and scald you. This is especially important for quick steam release with the
steam control valve or if you cool down the cooker under cold running water.
-
Always keep your hands, head and body out of the danger zone when depressurizing the
pressure cooker by using the steam control valve or by cooling the pressure cooker down
under cold running water. The escaping steam could cause burns.
-
If you want to reclose the pressure cooker after opening, put the steam control valve (3) at
the sign
. Only if the lid is firmly closed put it at the sign .
e. Important information concerning food
-
Do not cook apples or stewed fruits in the pressure cooker. Pockets of steam can form under
the skin. When opening the cooker they can spit and cause burns.
-
Please note that if you cook meat with skin, it can swell when under pressure. Do not pierce
the meat as long as the skin is swollen, as this could result in burns.
-
Prick sausages with artificial casing several times before cooking, so that the skin cannot
burst and cause burns.
-
Excessively foaming food such as legumes firstly cook with an open lid and skim off the foam.
Afterwards the lid can be closed. Please fill the pressure cooker to a maximum of half its
capacity.
-
When cooking doughy food, shake the pressure cooker carefully before opening to release
steam pockets that may have formed.
