User Safety Information
The pressure cooker heats and cooks food
under pressure. When the pressure cooker is
at its operating pressure, the liquid boils around
118°C to 12O°C. Improper use may result in
a scalding injury. To avoid injury, ensure that
the pressure cooker is closed correctly and
securely before use. Do not start to heat the
pressure cooker until the lid has been correctly
and securely closed. The lid handle will be
directly above the lower handle if the pressure
cooker has been closed correctly.
When the food is at boiling temperature, and
when the pressure is decreasing rapidly, steam
and boiling liquid can escape from the pressure
cooker. Take care of the ejected steam. Do not
position the pressure cooker in close proximity
to other people or yourself so as to prevent
injury from escaping steam. Do not obstruct the
pressure regulator. It must be clear at all times.
Do not touch safety devices.(See page 15)
Before use, always check the pressure
regulator, steam pipe, red pressure indictor
valve and sealing ring are in good condition
and clear from any food, dirt, scale etc.
Do not touch hot metal parB. Use the handles or
oven gloves when handling the pressure cooker.
Extreme caution must be used when moving the
pressure cooker containing hot liquids or when it
is at pressure.
Close supervision is needed when the pressure
cooker is used near children or pets. Do not
allow children to use the pressure cooker.
Do not leave the pressure cooker unattended.
Do not use the pressure cooker other than its
intended use. Do not place the pressure cooker
in a heated oven. Do not use the pressure
cooker to fry under pressure.
Never let the pressure cooker boil dry or use
without any liquid, as this will cause severe
damage to the pressure cooker. Always follow
the maximum and minimum quantities of liquid
stated in the instructions.
Do not exceed the maximum fill level stated on
page B Section 2.2.
The safety devices of your pressure cooker are
extremely sensitive and must not be modified.
Do not open the pressure cooker until all the
internal pressure has been safely released.
Strictly follow the cleaning, maintenance and
storage instructions. Always check the safety
devices are not obstructed before use.
Only use genuine TOWER spare parts.
Only use the pressure cooker on a heat source
with a stable position.
If the pressure cooker functions abnormally i.e.
it has been dropped or show signs of damage,
stop using it.
This pressure cooker is intended for domestic
use only and is not designed for commercial
use. The manufacturer accepts no liability if the
appliance is used for commercial purposes or
in a manner which does not comply with the

1.4 Suitable hob types for cooking
The Tower Pressure Cooker can be used on all
types of hob, including gas and electric, with a
power rating of less than 2KW.
When using an electric hob, ensure that the
hob has a diameter as close as possible to
that of the cooker. NEVER use a hob that is
too large for the cooker base. Also ensure the
pressure cooker is only used on a heat source
with a stable position.
When using a gas hob, always ensure that the
flames DO NOT encroach upon the sides of
the cooker but remain beneath it. DO NOT
place or attempt to heat the pressure cooker
in a heated oven.
Always thoroughly dry and clean the base of
the pressure cooker before placing on the hob.
When using your pressure cooker on ceramic
style hobs such as halogen, lift and place your
pressure cooker rather than dragging it across
the hob surface, to minimise damage to both
your hob and pressure cooker.

stand otherwise the food will be immersed in the
water instead of cooking in steam.
Some heatproof containers may be used in
the pressure cooker i.e. metal, enamel, glass,
earthware or boilable plastic. Do not use any
containers that are cracked. Containers should
easily fit into the cooker and must not come to
within 2.5cm (1”) of the top of the cooker body.
Caution: Always use oven gloves when handling
any hot containers.
Make sure there is enough water in the pressure
cooker to cover the pre-steaming and the
normal cooking time. Once steaming begins,
the heat should be turned down as low as
possible in order to reduce the amount of steam
that escapes and the amount of water that is
consumed. Once pre-steaming is complete,
check that there is still sufficient water remaining
to complete the cooking stage. If in doubt,
remove the lid and check the water level before
moving from pre-steaming to pressure cooking.
The lid should be locked into position, the
pressure regulator fitted and the heat
turned up to bring the pressure cooker up
to cooking pressure.

2. USING YOUR PRESSURE COOKER - STEP BY STEP GUIDE
2.5
Start to cook
Turn the hob to its highest setting in order to get the pressure cooker to its required cooking pressure
as quickly as possible. When using a gas hob, ensure the flame is under the pressure cooker and do
not encroach upon the sides.
Note: Some steam will escape from the pressure indicator valve after the pressure cooker has
been heating. This is normal and will cease once the pressure indicator valve has risen. It’s now not
possible to open the lid until the pressure has been safely released at the end of the cooking.
Once the required cooking pressure has been reached, steam will escape intermittently from the
middle of the pressure regulator (emitting a hissing sound as it does so). At the point, the heat should
be turned down to the lowest possible level.
If the heat is too high, there will be a constant loud hissing sound. If the heat is too low, there is little or
no noise. You may need to adjust the heat level during cooking to maintain constant pressure. If the
pressure indicator drops down during cooking, increase the heat slightly and extend the cooking time.

2.6
At the end of cooking - Steam release
When the cooking time indicated in the recipe has finished, turn off the heat and release the steam
either quickly or slowly as indicated in the recipe or according to the type of food cooked.
Quickly: For stews, vegetables and fish dishes. Turn the pressure regulator to the steam
release position. Take great care as hot steam is released vertically. Make sure
there is nothing in the way of where the steam will travel to. Alternatively, if the kitchen
environment is not suitable for the above quick steam release, you can place the
pressure cooker in a sink and run cold water over it until the pressure indicator valve
has lowered. Do not allow water to enter the pressure cooker through the pressure
indicator valve or through the pressure regulator.
Slowly: For recipes containing rice or pasta; egg custards, puddings, dried vegetables
and pulses, stocks. This is the natural cooling, preferred method. Using oven gloves
and gripping the handles, carefully move the pressure cooker on to a level, heat-
resistant surface and leave it to stand until the pressure has reduced and the safety
valve has lowered. This process normally takes about 15 minutes (depending on the
amount of food being cooked, it may vary slightly) to cool slowly at room temperature.
Caution: The pressure cooker will require a gentle shake to disperse any air bubbles or
residual pressure prior to opening the lid after cooking certain foods, such as rice
or soup. Always wait for the pressure to completely reduce before shaking.
2.7
Opening the pressure cooker
To open the lid, push the ‘Lid lock/
unlock button’ forward on the
upper handle to the unlock position
and turn to the right. Align the
triangle 1 on the lid to the triangle
7 on the lower handle and then
release the lid from the body of the
pressure cooker.
Note: Remove food from the pressure cooker as soon as possible after cooking.
Do not leave food in the cooker for a long period of time as this may discolour the interior.
12
Wait until the steam inside the cooker has completely released, the pressure indicator
valve has dropped down and the pressure regulator has been removed to safely open the
lid. DO NOT force open the lid as it will cause injury.

COOKING TIMES AND SAMPLE RECIPES
The cooking time begins directly as the heat is turned down, once the red pressure indicator valve
rises and the pressure cooker begins to hiss to release excess steam. Once the cooking time has
finished, the hob should be turned off and the pressure cooker allowed to cool. Cooking times are
determined by the size of the pieces of food. It’s best to cut different foods to a uniform size if they
are going to be cooked together. If necessary, cooking may be interrupted, pressure released, and
foods with shorter cooking times added later.
Use these cooking times purely as a guide. Check food is cooked through before serving.
If in doubt, increase the cooking time.
Cook meat, poultry, and any derivatives (mince, burgers, etc.) until the juices run clear.
Cook fish until the flesh is opaque throughout.
When cooking pre-packed foods, follow any guidelines on the package or label.
