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
When using a heating plate with a diameter equal to or less than that of the pressure cooker base. On
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.
