GENERAL INFORMATION FOR COOKING UNDER PRESSURE
• An EPC (electrical pressure cooker) is an electric pan with an hermetic lid
and a special valve, that allows to cook the food under pressure, which
saves cooking time and makes the stiff foods soft.
• The following programs cook automatically under pressure: Quick Rice,
Porridge/Congee, Beef/Lamb, Chicken/Duck, Soup, Steam, Abalone. For
DIY function you will enter a cooking pressure state if you select at least
100°C, with the lid closed and locked.
• Once you have selected your program, the time to reach the pressure
will depend on the amount of food and liquids in the cooking pot. The
lid must be closed and locked to reach a pressure state: as the appliance
is hermetically closed, when the temperature increases, the liquid inside
forms steam which raises the pressure in the pot (thus when preparing
with pressure there should be always liquid inside the bowl).
• Once pressure has built up in the appliance, the lock mechanism system
is activated and then the lid will not be able to be opened during cooking
(so all ingredients must be added at the beginning of cooking). Never
attempt to open the lid during pressure cooking. When the pressure for
cooking is reached, the appliance switches automatically to cooking
phase, and the time previously set starts counting down.
• When the food is cooked under pressure, after the cooking process the
appliance will switch to keep warm state. The digital screen will indicate ‘’b’’.
• When using the pressure cooker for the first few times, you may notice
slight steam leakage from the lid. This is normal and will occur when
pressure builds up. Some leakage from the pressure limit valve may also
occur during cooking.
• It is normal for a small amount of steam to escape during cooking (as
the valve is a safety valve).
Opening the lid after pressure cooking
• After cooking under pressure, steam will be released automatically, it will take
from a few seconds to 10 minutes depending on the quantity of liquid inside.
• To open the lid, take hold of the handle, turn it anticlockwise, and push
the opening button -1-2. Unplug the power cord.
Note: Be careful of the hot steam coming out from the lid. Keep your
face and hands away from the steam flow.
