During cooking
• When steam escapes through the operating
valve continuously, and a regular hissing
sound (PSCHHHT) is heard, reduce the heat
source.
• Set a timer for the cooking time stated in your
recipe.
• 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.
Finishing 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 position . When the pressure indicator
(D) 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.
• Fast pressure release: put your pressure cooker
into a sink, under cold running water. - fig. 13.
When the pressure indicator (D) drops down, the
pressure cooker is no longer under pressure. Turn
the operating valve (A) to the position .
• You can open the pressure cooker - fig. 1.
• For models with pan equipped with metal
handles*, use potholders.
• When cooking frothy or starchy foods, do not
release the pressure by turning the operating valve
(A). Instead lift the pressure cooker away from the
heat source, leave the operating valve (A) in the
cooking position and let the cooker cool slowly at
room temperature (takes about 15 minutes) until
the pressure indicator drops down. Reduce the
recommended cooking time a little.

* depending on model
The pressure indicator
(D) prevents you from
opening the pressure
cooker if it still under
pressure.
If the pressure
indicator (D) does not
drop, place the base
of your pressure
cooker into a sink
filled with cold water -
fig. 13.
Never interfere with
the pressure indicator.
If food or liquid starts
to spray out while you
are releasing the
steam, return the
operating valve (A) to
cooking position
or then release
the steam using the
fast pressure release
method described
opposite.
The pressure indicator (D)
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.
