Meaning of cooking levels:
To maintain the desired cooking level, the amount of heat applied to the pressure
cooker needs to be reduced accordingly.
A hissing sound accompanied by the escape of steam means that the maximum
operating pressure of 1.2 bar has been reached. Reduce the heat and/or
remove the pressure cooker from hob for a short time until the second red line
is just visible.
Vegetables are cooked especially gently in the steamer insert or on
the trivet. Colour, flavour, vitamins and nutrients are retained.

Cooking with the TIMAX module
When the desired cooking level has been reached, the module emits a
repeating bleep tone.
The TIMAX module now monitors the selected cooking time which is displayed
by the flashing "min" symbol. The remaining cooking time can be seen on the
display at any time.
To maintain the desired cooking level, reduce the amount of heat
accordingly.
