before use
Read all the instructions.
Do not let children near the pressure
cooker when in use.
Do not put the pressure cooker into a
heated oven.
Extreme caution must be used when
moving a pressure cooker containing
hot liquids. Do not touch hot surfaces.
Use the handles and knobs. If
necessary, use protection.
Do not use the pressure cooker for a
purpose other than the one for which
it is intended.
This pressure cooker cooks under
pressure. Scalds may result from
inappropriate use of the pressure
cooker. Make sure that the
pressure cooker is properly closed
before applying heat. See section
"Instructions for use".
When the normal operating pressure
is reached, turn the heat down so all
the liquid, which creates the steam,
does not evaporate.
Never force open the pressure cooker.
Do not open before making sure that
4
its internal pressure has completely
dropped. See section "Instructions for
use".
Never use your pressure cooker
without adding water, this would
seriously damage it.
Do not fill the pressure cooker above
2/3 of its capacity (see "MAX" mark
inside the pot). When cooking food
that expands during cooking, such
as rice or dehydrated vegetables, do
not fill the pressure cooker above ½
of its capacity (see "½" mark inside the
pot). Over filling may cause a risk of
clogging the vent pipe and developing
excess pressure. See section
"Instructions for use".
Use the appropriate heat sources
according to the instructions for use.
After cooking meat with a skin (e.g.
ox tongue) which may swell under the
effect of pressure, do not prick the
meat while the skin is swollen; hot
water could squirt out and you might
be scalded.
When cooking doughy food, gently
shake the pressure cooker before
opening the lid to avoid food ejection.
Be aware that certain foods, such
as applesauce, cranberries, pearl
barley, oatmeal or other cereals, split
peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, or
spaghetti can foam, froth, and sputter,
and clog the pressure release device
(steam vent). These foods should not
be cooked in a pressure cooker.
Before each use, check that the
valves are not obstructed. See section
"Instructions for use".
Never use the pressure cooker in its
pressurised mode for deep or shallow
frying of food.
Do not tamper with any of the safety
systems beyond the maintenance
instructions specified in the
instructions for use.
Only use manufacturer's spare parts
in accordance with the relevant model.
