BEFORE FIRST USE

Thoroughly study these instructions for use 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 xxxxx (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
Move the safety closure control to the "OPEN" position; this will release the clamp-types closure (Fig. F).
Lift the handle and remove the lid from the pressure cooker vessel (Fig. G).
ALWAYS OPEN THE PRESSURE COOKER ONLY AFTER ENTIRELY RELEASING STEAM FROM IT. 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 2/3 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
Grab the handle of the lid of the pressure cooker, attach it to the vessel by lowering it to the horizontal
position and fold the lid down; this will close the pressure cooker (Fig. J).
Move the safety closure control to the "CLOSE" position; this will close the pressure cooker (Fig. K).
Make sure that the pressure regulator IDEALCOOK can be smoothly adjusted to any operating position as
well as the position for releasing steam xxxxx (Fig. C).
DO NOT APPLY INAPPROPRIATE FORCE WHEN CLOSING THE PRESSURE COOKER.
