4. Before using for the first time
Make sure you understand how the cooker is used before you try it out.
Opening the cooker
See Fig. C
Press the release button (Fig. A-2) on the lid handle in the direction shown by the arrow, and turn the lid to the right
as far as possible. Now you can remove the lid.
Positioning aid
On the lid, there is a metal tab that says "Close" (Fig. A-8). The counterpart to it is a groove (Fig. A-9) in the pot
handle. This makes it easy to place the lid in the correct position.
Closing the cooker
See Fig. D
To put the lid on the cooker, hold it slightly slanted, place the positioning aid in the groove on the pot handle, and
then lower it. The correct position for the lid is also indicated by red dots on the positioning aid and the pot handle. If
these dots are perfectly aligned, the lid can be put on the pot.
See Fig. E
To close, turn the lid to the left as far as possible, until the cooker locks with an audible "click. "
Locking indicator
See Fig. F
The locking indicator (Fig. A-3) in the lid handle will tell you whether the cooker is correctly closed and ready to use:
Green = The cooker is properly closed and ready for use.
Red = The cooker is not properly closed, and no pressure can be built up.
Cleaning
Wash the pot, lid and silicone gasket thoroughly before using the pressure cooker for the first time. This will remove
any traces of polishing dust and minor impurities.
We recommend the subsequent use of Fissler Stainless Steel Care (or another product for the care of stainless steel
