use
Place your pressure cooker on a heat source set at low
or medium power.
Then start timing the food manually.
Note: The cook control cannot be used with Stewpot mode.
During 'stewpot' cooking, you can open your pressure cooker at any time to
stir, check whether the food is cooked or add ingredients.
In case of difficulties opening the lid: rinse the gasket in water and replace
it in the lid without drying it
the grooves on the lid
If the heat source is too high, the pressure cooker may lock (the pressure
indicator (D) rises and blocks the opening) and the lid handle may not work
or may not allow opening of the pressure cooker. In this case, reduce or turn
off the heat source. If you are using cast iron heating plates, remove the
pressure cooker from the heat source.
For models with a non-stick coating: do not use whisks or sharp utensils made
of metal. Do not tap the rim of the pan to remove food from utensils, as it
could damage it and cause leaks.
Never let fat or oil burn until completely carbonised. The cooking fumes could
be dangerous to animals with a particularly sensitive respiratory system, such
as birds. Bird owners should keep them away from the kitchen.
Safety
Your pressure cooker is equipped with several safety devices:
Closing safety:
- If the lid is not positioned correctly or if you forget to fold back the lid handle,
steam will leak from the pressure indicator (D) of the pressure cooker and the
pressure may not increase.
Opening safety:
- If your pressure cooker is under pressure, the pressure indicator (D) is up and
the opening/closing lid handle (G) should not be used.
