3.1 Opening the pressure cooker lid
• When the cooking valve is in “pressure release” position, press the open button underne-
ath the lid handle with your thumb, to release the lock both sides. Lift the lid to open the
cooker.
• Before The First Use: Remove the silicon gasket from the lid, rinse with boiling water, and
then dry and place it back in the correct position.
Note: Use special caution to ensure that the silicon gasket is properly fitted in its
place. Otherwise, pressure cannot be properly achieved. Silicon gasket should not be
turned and should be securely fitted (with no space between the gasket and stainless
steel lid) into the groove lid.
• As a general rule, the position of the silicon gasket should be checked before using the
pressure cooker.
3.2 Setting of cooking degree:
• In each cooking, fill at least one and a half glass of water into the cooker. Fill, maximum
the half of the cooker. This includes, the cooking materials and the liquid.
Caution: While cooking food that will either produce foam or expand in size (such
as chickpeas, peas, rice), the pressure cooker can only be filled half. Add a dessert
spoon of butter or oil to other materials to reduce foaming before cooking.
• Maximum filling level (2/3) is marked inside the cooker. Never fill the pressure cooker
excessively above this level. Otherwise, the valves will contact the food materials; this will
cause them to clog and disrupt their functions.
3.3 Closing the pressure cooker lid
The cooking valve must be in “pressure release” position. When the clamps are released,
put the lid on the cooker. While pressing the lid with one hand from the top, use your other
hands thumb to press the close button. Make sure the clamps are locked and properly
contact the body of the cooker.
3.4 Preparing food
• Place the pressure cooker on the stove, and turn on the stove to the highest level.Make
sure that the stove is not larger than the pressure cooker base. The fire level should not
exceed the cooker base.
• The cooking valve must be in “pressure release” position, so it must be fully open. After
a while, you will hear a hissing sound and see the pressure release. At his point, turn the
stove to the lowest level.
• Set the cooking valve to 1, 2 or 3 depending on the food you are cooking. Now the coo-
king time has started, set your clock.
• During the cooking, do not intervene the cooking valve. The valve will release the extra
pressure.
NOTE: When the steam is released from the cooking valve, the required cooking degree
is reached. The cooking time shown in the cooking timetable states the required period
as of the time the initial steam is released from the cooking valve.
• The simple method about the food preparation time in the pressure cooker is as follows:
In a pressure cooker, any food is cooked at 1/3 of time of a normal cooker. Example: 10
minutes instead of 30 minutes.
3.5 How to open the pressure cooker after cooking is completed When the cooking time
is over, close the heat source. Wait for about 3 minutes. During the waiting period, the
pressure inside the cooker will be minimized. Gently turn the cooking valve to release posi-
tion and wait for the steam to be fully released. While opening the lid, leave a safe distance
between your body and the pressure cooker. Do not force the pressure cooker to open!
• After the heat source closed, if you need to open your pressure cooker without waiting 2
or 3 minutes, keep the pressure cooker under running water for 1 minute to cool it down.
To release the remaining pressure, turn the cooking valve to release pressure position.
