Finishing cooking
To release the steam
• Once the heat is turned off, you have two options:
• Slow pressure release: gradually turn the operating valve
(A) to the position. Make sure that the cooker is posi-
tioned so that the steam is directed away from you. Once
the pressure indicator (D) drops down: your pressure coo-
ker is no longer under pressure. This is used for stews, ve-
getables, meat joints and fish dishes.
•
Fast pressure release: place your pressure cooker under
cold running water, directing the flow onto the metal part
of the lid. Once the pressure indicator (D) drops down:
your pressure cooker is no longer under pressure. Turn the
operating valve (A) to the position. This is used for
soups, rice, pasta, milk puddings, egg custards, cake and
pudding mixes, recipes containing rice or pasta and re-
cipes with a high liquid content. If in doubt, use the fast
pressure release method.
• Now you can open it.
Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning the pressure cooker
• For best appliance operation, be sure to follow these clea-
ning and maintenance recommendations every time the
pressure cooker is used.
• Always wash the pressure cooker after use with warm
water with a little washing up liquid added. Do the same
for the basket.
• Never use bleach or chlorine products.
• Never overheat the pressure cooker body when it is empty.
To clean the inside of the pressure cooker
• Clean it with a scouring pad and washing up liquid.
• If the inside of the stainless steel cooker shows iridescent re-
flections, clean it with vinegar.
To clean the outside of the pressure cooker
• Clean it with a sponge and washing up liquid.
To clean the lid
• Wash the lid under a gentle stream of running warm water
using a sponge and washing up liquid.
To clean the lid seal

If food or liquid starts to
spray out from from the
valve while you are re-
leasing the steam, turn it
back to position and
switch off the heat, wait
a few minutes and then
gradually turn the opera-
ting valve to the po-
sition, making sure
nothing else spurts out.
You can wash the pres-
sure cooker body and
the basket in a dishwa-
sher.
Never wash the lid in a
dishwasher.
For a longer pressure
cooker life: do not over-
heat your pressure coo-
ker pan when it is
empty.
Browning and scrat-
ching that may appear
following long periods
of use are normal and
will not affect the per-
formance of the pres-
sure cooker
