USE
■ OPENING
• Using your thumb, pull back on the lid release button (E) and hold it in the
retracted position - Fig. 1.
• Holding the long handle of the pot (L) with one hand, turn the long handle of
the lid (F) with the other hand in an anti-clockwise direction until open
• Then lift the lid.
• Do not open the pressure cooker until the unit has cooled and all internal
pressure has been released. If the handles are di cult to push apart, this
indicates that the cooker is still pressurised - do not force it open. Any
pressure in the cooker can be hazardous.

opening button (E) is properly retracted.
■ MINIMUM FILL LEVEL
• Always put at least 25 cl/ 250 ml (2 cups) of liquid in the
pressure cooker when in use
For steam cooking*:
• The pot must contain at least 75 cl/ 750 ml (6 cups) of water.
• Place the basket* (J) on the trivet* (K) provided for this
purpose - Fig. 5.
■ MAXIMUM FILL LEVEL
• Never fill your pressure cooker to more than two-thirds
full (mark MAX 2 for maximum filling) (O).
For certain foods:
• For foodstu s that expand and/or foam during cooking,
such as rice, pulses, dehydrated vegetables, stewed fruit,
pumpkin, courgettes, carrots, potatoes, fillets of fish, etc. Let
your pressure cooker cool down for a few minutes, and then
place in sink half-filled with cold tap water. Methodically and
gently shake the pressure cooker each time before opening,
after having checked that the pressure indicator has gone
down completely, to prevent bubbles of steam from
overflowing and burning you. This operation is particularly
important when steam is released quickly or after cooling
down with tap water. For soups, we recommend that you do
a fast pressure release with cold water (see Step 1 above).
