8.6 Opening lid safely (while hot)
DANGER! Risk of injury from scalding!
~ Do not open the Multi-Pot while it is pressurised. Please
take note of the pressure indicator|23. Wait until the
pressure has dropped, or open the pressure valve|1
until only a little steam is coming out. Never use force
to open the Multi-Pot.
~ Ensure that no body parts (e.g. hand or arm) are
above the pressure valve|1 when you open this using
the pressure valve button |2 and steam escapes.
There is a danger of being scalded by escaping
steam.
DANGER! Risk of injury from hot food!
~ When you have heated semi-liquid food, carefully
shake the Multi-Pot before opening. This should prevent
food from spraying out.
~ If you have cooked meat with the skin on, the skin can
swell up. Do not pierce the meat while the skin is swol-
len.
DANGER! Risk of injury from burning!
~ Only touch the hot device on the operating panel|10
or by the handles|3/20.
When the Multi-Pot is pressurised, the pressure must first be
released from the pot before it can be opened safely. A
safety mechanism prevents the lid|5 from being opened as
long as the pressure indicator|23 is lifted.
To release the pressure, you have two options:
-For fast steam release, the pressure is rapidly re-
leased through the pressure valve|1.
-For slow cooling, the pressure is released slowly
without a valve being opened.
NOTES:
• Use slow cooling if large volumes of liquid (e.g. soup)
or foods containing a lot of starch (e.g. porridge) are
inside the Multi-Pot. These foods can spray out with the
steam during fast steam release, blocking the valves.
• Use fast steam release if possible for foods with short
cooking times that can quickly be overcooked.
• When you use the warm program Keep Warm/
Cancel|37, the pressure is released slowly.
• If you use a cooking program without pressure, steam
release is unnecessary. When you open the lid|5, be
careful of the hot food and hot surfaces.
• If the pressure indicator|23 does not sink down, de-
spite there being no steam and no pressure escaping
the pressure indicator may have become dirty and
stuck. If this happens, press down gently on the pres-
sure indicator using a pen, chopstick or similar.
Fast steam release
1. Stop the cooking process and pull out the mains
plug|16.
2. Press down carefully on the pressure valve
button |2 until it clicks into place, in order to open
the pressure valve|1. The pressure is released from
the Multi-Pot. This will cause hot steam to es-
cape!
3. Check that the pressure indicator|23 has sunk down.
4. Hold down the release button|24 while you turn the
lid|5 clockwise until the arrow marking|6 points to
the marking |19.
5. Carefully remove the lid|5 in an upward direction.
Slow cooling
When the device is in standby (display shows OFF) or
whilst the warm program Keep Warm/Cancel|37 is
running, pressure will be released slowly and automatical-
ly. How long the cooling process takes depends on the
quantity of food, and can take up to 15 minutes.
1. Allow the Multi-Pot to cool until the pressure indica-
tor|23 has sunk down.
NOTE: you can speed up the cooling process somewhat
by placing a cold, damp (but well wrung-out) towel over
the lid. If you do this, first pull out the mains plug|16.
2. Hold down the release button|24 while you turn the
lid|5 clockwise until the arrow marking|6 points to
the marking |19.
3. Carefully remove the lid|5 in an upward direction.
