8.7 Markings in the pot / filling
volumes
DANGER!
~ When pressure cooking (with closed pressure valve|1):
fill the pot|7 only
to the maximum filling level (marking
in pot max 2/3),
as boiling water may otherwise spray
out. If you are preparing food such as rice or dried
vegetables, which swell up during the cooking pro-
cess, do not fill the pot|7 past halfway (marking in pot:
1/2).
WARNING Risk of material damage!
~ The device must never be operated when empty, in or-
der to avoid overheating.
When pressure cooking (with closed pressure valve|1), en-
sure that there is never too much or too little water in the
device. Please note the markings inside the pot|7.
- max. 2/3: this is the maximum filling level with which
it is permitted to operate the device.
- 1/2: this marking indicates the half filling level of the
pot|7. It is not permitted to fill up with liquid for rice
and similar swelling foods above and beyond this
marking.
- Always place at least 250 ml of liquid (water, broth
etc.) in the pot|7.
8.8 Using the steamer insert
DANGER! Risk of injury from burning!
~ The steamer insert|13 becomes hot during use. Wait
until it has cooled down before removing it from the
pot|7, or use potholders or oven gloves.
In order to cook food in steam (e.g. using the function
Steam/Veggies|32), you can place the steamer in-
sert|13 in the pot|7. You only place a little water in the
pot|7, so that the mesh is above the water level. You place
the food on the mesh. This should not be touching the wa-
ter.
The handles fold out upwards to facilitate placement and
removal. The handles can be folded down for space-sav-
ing storage.
9. Preparations before each
use
DANGER!
~ The safety contact|21 in the middle of the heating
plate|8 must be clean and move freely in order to
avoid overheating.
~ Before each use, ensure that the valves (pressure indi-
cator|23 and pressure valve|1) are not blocked.
Check the following points:
- The sealing ring|25 must be inserted correctly. The
seal must be in good contact all around.
-The safety filter|26 must be free from dirt.
- The underside of the pressure indicator|27 must be
clean and move freely.
- The inside o the base unit|17, the heating plate|8 and
the safety contact|21 must be free from dirt and dry.
Setting up
FIRE HAZARD!
~ Before turning the device on, place it on a level, sta-
ble, dry, heat-resistant surface.
• Place the base unit|17 on a level, dry and non-slip
work surface, so that the device can neither fall nor
slip off.
Attaching the condensed water tank
The condensed water tank|11 catches condensed water
that runs off the lid|5 and into the upper ring on the base
unit|17.
• Figure E: insert the condensed water tank|11 into the
holder|22.
NOTE: empty the condensed water tank|11 at the latest
when the water has reached the marking MAX.
