GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and
caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator. Read
carefully and understand all instructions before operating. Failure to follow the safety rules and other basic
safety precautions may result in serious personal injury.
Before each use, carefully check whether the handle is intact and the exhaust pipe is smooth and the
pressure regulator, safety valve are free-moving and clean.
The self-locking mechanism is carefully designed and installed at the head of the handle. NEVER
disassemble the pressure cooker.
Any commercial use, inappropriate use, or failure to comply with the instructions, the manufacturer
accepts no responsibility and the guarantee will not apply. Only use replacement parts supplied by the
manufacturer. Failure to do so will void your warranty.
DO NOT place heavy objects on top of the pressure regulator. DO NOT use the lid of the pressure cooker

For domestic use only. This Pressure Cooker should not be used for high pressure frying.
DO NOT put the Pressure Cooker in the microwave or oven.
When cooking food, the flame should not exceed the bottom of the pot. It should be less than 1/10th the
total height of the pot to prevent burning of the handle.
When heating the pressure cooker, be sure the explosion proof wind should not be facing anyone.
Wait for a while before opening the pressure. Allow the steam to subside to avoid burns. When releasing
pressure from the cooker, the user should stand to the side to avoid burns.
As with any cooking appliance, ensure close supervision if you are using the pressure cooker with
children nearby.
DO NOT put your pressure cooker into a hot oven.
When the pressure cooker is under pressure, take great care when moving it. DO NOT touch the hot
surfaces. Use the handles and knobs. Wear gloves if necessary.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
2
NEVER force the pressure cooker open. Make sure that the internal pressure has returned to normal.
Refer to the section “Safety”.
NEVER use your pressure cooker without liquid: this could cause serious damage. ALWAYS make sure
that there is enough liquid in it during cooking.
Use heat source(s) that are compatible with your pressure cooker, in line with the instructions for use
NEVER make milk-based recipes (such as rice pudding, semolina pudding etc.; in your pressure cooker.
DO NOT use rock salt in your pressure cooker, but rather add table salt when the cooking is nearly
finished.
NEVER fill your pressure cooker more than two-thirds full (maximum fill mark).
For food that expands during cooking, like rice, dried vegetables, stewed fruit, etc., NEVER fill your
pressure cooker more than half full. For certain soups like pumpkin or courgette, give your pressure
cooker a few minutes to cool down, then cool it down fully by placing it under cold running water.
After cooking meat that has an outer layer of skin (such as ox tongue), which could swell due to the
effects of pressure, do not pierce the skin after cooking if it appears swollen: you could get burnt. Pierce
it before cooking.
When cooking food with a thick texture (chick peas, rhubarb, stewed fruit, etc.) the pressure cooker
should be shaken slightly before opening to ensure that the food does not spurt out.
ALWAYS check that valves are clear before use
DO NOT use the pressure cooker to fry under pressure using oil.
DO NOT interfere with the safety systems, except for cleaning and maintenance in accordance with
instructions.
Alcohol vapors are flammable. Bring to a boil for about 2 minutes before placing the lid. Watch your
appliance when preparing alcohol-based recipes.
You can use the pan to cook food without the lid. DO NOT use the lid if you do not intend the food to be
cooked under pressure.
If you notice that your pressure cooker is broken or cracked, do not attempt to open it under any
circumstances; wait for it to cool down completely before moving it. DO NOT use it. Have it repaired by a
qualified technician.

OPERATION
1. When using the Pressure Cooker for the first time, carefully read the instructions. Understand the general
structure of the pressure cooker. Check and clean all accessories.
2. When using the Pressure Cooker for the first time, do not boil water in the pot. The Iron and Salt within the
aluminum will cause a chemical reaction causing the bottom of the pan to turn black. Although it is harmless,
it will affect the appearance of the pot.
3. Fill the pressure cooker with the food and the necessary amount of liquid for cooking and close the lid.
4. Put the operating valve in its place.
5. Make sure that the pressure cooker is properly closed before starting to use it.
6. Place the pressure cooker on a heat source set to maximum power.
7. When steam escapes through the operating valve continuously, and a regular hissing sound is heard,
reduce the heat source.
8. Set a timer for the cooking time stated in your recipe.
9. During cooking, check that the valve murmurs regularly. If there is not enough steam, increase the heat
source slightly; if there is too much steam, reduce the heat source.
NOTE: As with any cooking appliance, watch over it carefully especially if you are using your pressure
cooker around children. Steam is very hot as it exits the steam release outlet.
10. To release steam from the cooker you can either utilize Slow Pressure Release by Turn the operating
valve to the position . When the pressure indicator drops down, the pressure cooker is no longer under
pressure. Make sure that your pressure cooker is positioned so that the steam is directed away from you. Or
you can put your pressure cooker into a sink, under cold running water. When the pressure indicator drops
down, the pressure cooker is no longer under pressure. Turn the operating valve to the position.
NOTE: If the pressure indicator does not drop, place the base of your pressure cooker into a sink
filled with cold water.
NOTE: If food or liquid starts to spray out while you are releasing the steam, return the operating valve to
cooking position or then release the steam using the fast pressure release method described opposite.
COMPATIBLE HEAT SOURCES

ceramic and halogen hobs, make sure that the base of the pan is clean and dry.
NEVER heat your pressure cooker when it is empty or you may damage it.
On gas, the flame should not extend beyond the diameter of the pan. For all heat sources, make sure that
your pressure cooker is well centered.
