off a few minutes before the food has finished
cooking, leaving the pressure cooker on the hob. This
uses the residual heat optimally and saves energy.
1. Wait until the pressure has stabilised and the red
safety valve 4 drops down. Note! When the safety
valve 4 drops down, the temperature inside the
pressure cooker is still around 100 °C.
2. Press the handle release button 3 and turn the lid
anticlockwise at the same time until the circular
mark on the lid is pointing to the circular mark on
the pot handle 1.Note! As soon as you press the
handle release button 3, some residual steam may
escape.
3. Remove the lid from the pot.
Method 3: Saving time
Method 3 requires you to remove the pressure cooker
from the hob once the food has finished cooking. In
order to be able to open the lid straight away, the
pressure in the base has to be released manually. This
method in particular saves time.
1. Hold the pressure cooker under running water
until the safety valve 4 drops down (the pressure
of the water should not be too high). Caution!
Take care to prevent the water jet from hitting the
pressure regulator 8 or the safety valve 4, as water
might otherwise get inside the pot and dilute your
food.
2. Press the handle release button 3 and turn the lid
anticlockwise at the same time until the circular
mark on the lid is pointing to the circular mark on
the pot handle 1. Note! As soon as you press the
handle release button 3, some residual steam may
escape.
3. Remove the lid from the pot.
