Before cooking
• Before using your pressure cooker, always visually make sure that the steam
release
outlet (C) is clear - fig 9
• Also make sure that the safety valve moves freely: refer to the “Cleaning
and Maintenance” heading.
• Add ingredients and liquid.
• Close your pressure cooker - fig 2
• Fit the valve (A) - fig 5
• Press it all the way down and set it to position 1 - fig 6
• Always make sure that the pressure cooker is properly closed before using it.
• Place your pressure cooker on a heat source set to maximum power.
End of cooking
To release the steam
Once the heat is turned off, you have two options:
• Slow pressure release: turn the operating valve (A) to the posi-
tion.
Make sure that the cooker is positionned so that the steam is
directed away from you.
Once the pressure indicator (G) drops
down, your pressure cooker is no longer under pressure.
• Fast pressure release:
Place your pressure cooker in a sink under
cold running water, directing flow onto the metal part of the lid
- fig 10
When the pressure indicator (G) drops again, your pressure cooker
is no longer under pressure.
Turn the operating valve (A) to the
position.
• Now you can open your pressure cooker
- fig 1
If when steam is
released, you observe
any unusual spray: refit
the operating valve (A)
in the cooking position: 1
and then release the
steam using the fast
pressure release method.
During cooking
• Once the operating valve starts to continuously release steam and
a regular hissing sound can be heard, reduce the heat level.
• Set a timer for the cooking time stated in your recipe.
• During cooking, make sure that regular hissing noises are heard
from the valve. If there is not enough steam released, slightly in-
crease the heat level, or on the contrary, reduce it a little.
The pressure indicator
(G) prevents the pressure
cooker from increasing in
pressure if it is not
properly closed.
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.
The pressure indicator
(G) prevents you from
opening the pressure
cooker if it still under
pressure.
If the pressure indicator
(G) does not drop, place
the base of your pressure
cooker into a sink filled
with cold water - fig. 10.
Never interfere with the
pressure indicator.
