Tramontina Vancouver Manual De Instrucciones página 20

• Never use pressure cooker for any purposes other than those
indicated in these instructions.
• Do not use any kind of container inside the pressure cooker.
• This cooker operates with pressure up to 80 kPa/12 psi. Improper
use can result in accidents, so be sure to close the cooker properly
when using it. See instructions under "How to Safely Use Your Pressure
Cooker" (pag. 24).
• Do not use pressure cooker without any liquid.
• The Tramontina pressure cooker is completely
safe, providing that all instructions in this
manual are followed.
• Always observe the maximum level of food
and water, as marked on the inside of the cooker (figure 3).
• Do not fill the cooker to more than one-half of its capacity when
cooking food that expands during the cooking process, such as rice
and dry vegetables. Filling more than half-way can cause clogging
of the working valve, resulting in excess pressure and accidents. See
"How to Safely Use Your Pressure Cooker" ( pag. 24).
• Certain food should not be prepared in the pressure cooker, including
apple sauce, fruit, barley, oatmeal, cereals and pasta because these
foods can cause foam to form or break into pieces and block the
release of pressure (the steam vent).
• Always check the working valve before use to be sure that it is not
blocked and is in good working condition (pag. 24).
• Whenever removing the silicone ring and safety and working valves,
be sure to put them back carefully in the correct place.
• If it is difficult to remove the lid, it means there is still pressure
in the cooker. In that case, do not try to force the handles to open.
Keep the working valve in the correct position, as shown on page 24
– Working valve (pressure release) and run cold water over the lid. Lift
the working valve with a fork to check whether all the steam inside
is completely gone. If there is still pressure, repeat these steps until
there is no steam remaining. See how to handle in "How to Safely Use
Your Pressure Cooker" (pag. 24).
• Never use the pressure cooker for fried food.
• To keep food warm in the cooker after cooking is completed, use the
lid from a conventional pot. Never place the pressure cooker lid in any
position other than as instructed in this manual.
• The cooker will open easily when the internal pressure is low. Never
force the cooker open.
• During use, screws may become loose due to the change in
temperature. If this occurs, tighten the screws with a Phillips
screwdriver.
