Before cooking
• Before each use, remove the valve (A) (see section
Using the operating valve') and check visually and
against the light that the steam release outlet (B) is
not obstructed. If necessary, clean it with a toothpick
- Fig. 10.
• Check that the safety valve ball (C) is mobile (see
drawing opposite) and see section •Cleaning and
maintenance
• Add your ingredients and the liquid.
• Close the pressure cooker - Fig. 3 and ensure that it is
properly closed - Fig. 4.
• Position or on the valve to the positioning
mark H - Fig. 7 or 8.
• Place the pressure cooker on a heat source, then set it
to maximum power.
The pressure
indicator (D)
prevents the
pressure from rising
in the pressure
cooker if it is not
properly closed.
During cooking
• It is normal for steam to be present at the pressure
indicator (D) when the product begins operating.
• When steam escapes continuously from the
operating valve (A), with a steady "pschhht" sound,
reduce the heat source until the valve (A) continues
to whisper steadily.
• Leave for the cooking time indicated in the recipe.
• As soon as the cooking time is over, turn off the heat
source.
End of cooking
To release the steam:
- Slow pressure release:
• This is used for stews, vegetables, meat joints and
fish dishes.
• Gradually turn the valve (A), adjusting the speed
that the pressure is released by how far you open
the valve, until it aligns opposite the mark with the
symbol -fig. 9. When the pressure indicator (D)
drops down again, your pressure cooker is no
longer under pressure.
The pressure indicator (D) prevents the pressure
cooker from being opened if it is still under
pressu re.
If while releasing the
steam, you notice any
food or liquid start to
spray out from the
valve, return the ope-
rating valve (A) to
ouz mark- Fig. 7
or 8 - , wait a minute
and then slowly turn
the operating valve
again to the steam
release position,
ensuring nothing
else spurts out.
