12. Safety Vent: In case of high-pressure
buildup, steam will be released through
the safety vent cutout located in the rim
of the lid (Fig. 4). The cutout in the handle
of the pressure cooker is an emergency
pressure release mechanism that should
never become operative under normal
use. If both pressure release valves
become blocked due to over filling,
for example, the pressure will tear the
gasket and escape through this hole.
WARNING: Excess steam escaping
through the hole will be very hot and
might cause serious injuries. In the
event the safety vent is triggered to
release excess pressure, always place
the pressure cooker on the stove in
such a position that the Safety Vent
is not facing towards you or towards
anything that could get damaged by
the steam and sputtering liquid.
Cooking with the ZAVOR ZPOT
Pressure Cooker
NOTE: ZAVOR PRESSURE COOKERS
ARE INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD
DOMESTIC COOKING SURFACES
ONLY.
Before the First Use
To open the pressure cooker, pull the
pressure lock towards the end of the
handle (Fig. 9) and slide the lid handle
to the right (counterclockwise) holding
the base handle with your left hand, and
lifting the lid.
Before using the ZAVOR ZPOT Pressure
Cooker for the first time, wash all the
parts and components with warm water
and mild dishwashing soap. Rinse well
and towel dry. The pressure cooker pot
is dishwasher safe. ZAVOR America
recommends hand washing the pressure
cooker lid and all its components.
Always remove the gasket when washing
the lid. Wash the gasket with warm,
soapy water; rinse well and towel dry.
Cover the gasket with a thin coat of
cooking oil (e.g., vegetable, olive, canola,
etc.). Follow this procedure every time
you wash the pressure cooker in order
to extend the life of the gasket and to
facilitate locking the lid in place.
Adding Food and Liquid
1. To cook with the ZAVOR ZPOT pressure
cooker, it is very important to use at
least 1/2 a cup of liquid if you’re cooking
for 10 minutes or less, or 2 cups of
water if you’re cooking for more than 10
minutes; NEVER USE LESS.
It is important to always use some
cooking liquid in a pressure cooker
since it is the liquid that creates
the steam necessary to build the
pressure. Without liquid the pressure
cooker cannot build any pressure.
You can use water, broth, wine or any
