2: Fast cooking: the pressure
regulator will display two
white rings.
Please note: Steam cooking uses 0.6 bar
(600 hPa) and fast cooking uses 1.1 bar
(1000 hPa) pressure.
2. Place the pressure cooker on a hob which is
a similar size to the base of the pressure
cooker.
Caution! The hob should
not be bigger than the
base of the pressure
cooker. Otherwise this
could lead to too much
heat rising up the sides of the base, thereby
damaging the plastic handles.
3. Turn the hob onto the highest setting.
As soon as there is pressure in the base, the
red safety valve 3 will move upwards
thereby locking the lid.
Please note: At the beginning of the
cooking time, a little steam may emerge from
the safety valve.
4. As soon as steam starts to come out of the
pressure regulator 8, lower the temperature
of the hob to around 1/3 so that only a small
amount of steam comes out.
This is when the "cooking time" starts.
Please note: When there is hardly any
steam coming out, the pressure cooker is
cooking the food quickly and saving energy.
6.3 Steam cooking
The gentlest way to prepare food, especially
vegetables, is by using the steam cooking setting.
When food is cooked using this method it only
comes into contact with hot steam and scarcely
with the liquid water. This prevents minerals,
vitamins and other important elements in the food
from being lost during cooking.
Steam cooked vegetables also have a more
intensive taste than when they are cooked using
the normal method.
1. Pour in at least 0.25 l water
2. Lay the tripod 11 inside the base 7.
3. Place the food to be cooked in the steamer
insert 10.
4. Stand the steamer insert 10 on the tripod
11.
5. Continue with cooking as explained in
"6.2 Cooking" on page 21.
6.4 Opening the pressure cooker
Warning!
If the red safety valve 3 is still raised,
the pan is still pressurised and the lid
cannot be opened. Under no
circumstances should you attempt to
force the lid open, as the sudden
release of pressure could result in
scalding. The pan will only open once
the red safety valve 3 has dropped
down.
Caution! Never entirely immerse the base in
water. Otherwise the pressure will instantly drop
which can lead to the base as well as the food
being ruined.
There are various methods to cool down the
pressure cooker in order to be able to open it.
Method 1: Releasing steam
This method requires releasing as much steam as
possible until the pressure in the appliance has
decreased enough to be able to remove the lid.
Warning!
This method means that hot steam will
escape from the pressure regulator.
You should therefore be careful not to
scald yourself.
1. Remove the pressure cooker from the cooker.
