1.3 Cooling down with water
A third option is cooling down with water. Here, the
presssure cooker is held under cold running water
until the pressure indicator fully retracts back into the
lid handle automatically. Do not direct the water spray
at the lid handle because of the valves as otherwise
the cooling water can get into the pressure cooker.
With this method, condensed water forms in the pres-
sure cooker and then drips down onto the cooked
food.
2. Opening
Remove the Sicomatic
®
t-plus from the heat and place
on an appropriate stable surface, push back the slide
control into the “O” open position and shake the pres-
sure cooker slightly. Hold the slide control in this
position while at the same time sliding the lid handle
to the right until the marking on the lid (I) and on the
long handle for base part ( ) are aligned one over the
other. Now remove the lid.
If the slide control is slid back too far
towards the stop while still under inner
pressure, the residual pressure locking
mechanism is triggered and blocks the
opening mechanism. To release, move the
slide control briefly towards the pressure
indicator so that the residual pressure
locking mechanism can be released once
the pressure cooker is pressureless.

1. Reduce pressure
The pressure must be reduced before opening the
pressure cooker. At the end of the cooking time,
always therefore remove the pressure cooker from the
heat and place on a suitable surface . Pressure can be
reduced in the following ways.
1.1 Fast steam release
To do so, gradually push back the slide control to posi-
tion “0” until no more steam is issued and the pressure
indicator in the handle has retracted completely. Keep
hands, head and body away from the danger area to
avoid scalding.
This method is not suitable for frothing or pulpy foods
like soup, pulses, stews, stock, offal and pasta.
1.2 Cooling down
The second option is to wait until the pressure indica-
tor has retracted entirely into its initial position in the
lid handle.
This method is especially recommended for frothing
or pulpy foods. As food continues to cook a little while
cooling down, please shorten cooking times
accordingly.
Please remember: Never open the
pressure cooker by force and do not
change safety devices! The pressure
cooker can only be opened easily when
not under pressure.
