Please note:
Steam cooking uses 0.6 bar
(600 hPa) and fast cooking uses 1.0 bar
(1000 hPa) pressure.
2. Place the pressure cooker on a cooking plate
which has the same size than the base of the
pressure cooker.
Caution!
• The cooking plate 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.
• The flame on a gas hob must not extend
beyond the base of the pot.
• On an electric hob the diameter of the
cooking plate should not be bigger than the
base of the pressure cooker.
3. Turn the cooking plate onto the highest
setting.
As soon as there is pressure in the base, the
red safety valve
4
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
6
, lower the temperature
of the cooking plate to around 1/3 so that
only a small amount of steam comes out.
This is when the "cooking time" starts.
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. Place the food to be cooked in the base.
3. Continue with cooking as explained in
"6.2 Cooking" on page 27.
6.4 Opening the pressure cooker
Warning!
- If the red safety valve
4
is still raised,
the pot is still pressurised and the lid
cannot be opened. Under no circum-
stances should you attempt to force
the lid open, as the sudden release
of pressure could result in scalding.
The pot can only be opened when
the red safety valve
4
has dropped
completely.
- Steam may escape from the steam
vent
5
. When using your appliance,
be careful never to direct the open-
ing of the steam vent
5
towards your-
self or towards a place where
somebody might walk past.
- When the pressure regulator
6
is
adjusted, a powerful steam jet could
escape from the steam vent
5
. You
should therefore only take hold of
the pressure regulator
6
by the
ribbed dial
7
.
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.
