If tho steam release is strong and Constant, the selected cooking position is reached.
Now you must decrease tho hoat
position = NO pressure 0.0 bar
For non-pressure cooking or to decrease the pressure When opening the lid during
cooking,
Position I = LOW pressure, approximately 0.60 bar
For food that will either produce foam or expand greatly in size such as fish, crustaceans
or vegetables such as chickpeas, peas or broth.
Position 2 High pressure, approximately 0.75 bar
For heavy vegetables, chicken, meat, rice and potatoes.
3.3 Preparing food
• Place the pressure cooker on the stove, and turn on the stove to the highest level.
Set the staged regulator valve to 1 or 2. Make sure that the stcwe is not larger
than the pressure cooker base. While using gas stove, make sure that the gas tire
does not reach the bakelite handles of the pressure cooker in order to prevent any
possible damage in these parts.
When steam starts to be produced inside the cooker, locking mechanism is
activated, and pressure cooking process begins after tho safety valve locking
mechanism is pushed up by steam. At the same time, safety valve lock Nocks tho
release mechanism ot the pressure cooker, thus the cooker lid under pressure is
prevented from opening.
When tho pressure cooker reaches tho selectod pressure, steam Starts to ba
released from the regulator valve. Now you can decrease tho heat Of tho Stove.
Besides, you may hoar a hissing sound when tho pressure is developed. When the
cooker is filled with the required materials at maximum degree, it may take about 15
minutes to roach tho desired pressure.
