11.4| PREPARING GRAIN OR LEGUMES
Grains and legumes do not need to be soaked
when prepared in the pressure cooker.
 This extends the cooking times by approx.
half the time.
 Ensure that the pot is only half full.
1| Fill the pot with at least 1/4 l liquid and add
a minimum of 2 parts liquid to 1 part grains/
legumes.
2| Shortly before the cooking time is over, turn
off the energy supply and use the residual
heat on the hob as a source.
11.5| STERILISING
1| Baby bottles, preserving jars etc. can be ster-
ilised. To do this, place the items in a perfo-
rated insert with the opening facing down.
2| Add 1.4 l water.
3| Sterilise for 20 min on cooking level 2.
4| Allow to cool slowly (steam release method 1).
11.6| BOILING DOWN
1| Prepare foods as usual and fill preserving jars.
2| Fill the pot with 1/4 l water.
3| Place the preserving jars in a perforated
insert.
4| Boil down preserving jars with 1 l content
in 6.5 l or 8.5.l pressure cooker; boil down
smaller preserving jars in a 4.5 l pressure
cooker.
5| Cook vegetables/meat at cooking level 2 for
approx. 20 min, stone fruits on cooking level
1 for approx. 5 min and pip fruits for approx.
10 minutes.
6| To release the steam, cool the pot slowly
(steam release method 1), as the juice will
press out of the preserving jars if the other
methods are used.
12| CLEANING, MAINTENANCE
AND STORAGE
12.1| CLEANING
Use hot water and conventional detergent for
cleaning.
 Do not use any sandy, scouring detergents,
steel wool or the hard side of sponges.
1| Remove the lid handle
11
as described in
Section 6.1 and clean under running water
only (see image series G).
2| Take the sealing ring
21
out of the lid
6
and
wash by hand.
3| Soak lightly sticking food residues, bring
strongly sticking food residues to the boil in
the pressure cooker with some water.
4| Clean any dirt or clogging from valves with a
moist cotton bud.
 Do not use any sharp or pointed objects.
5| The pot, inserts and trivet can be cleaned in
the dishwasher.
 However, this can lead to discolourations of
the surfaces. This does not impair function.
 Nonetheless, we recommend cleaning by hand.
6| If limescale develops, bring some vinegar
water to the boil in the pressure cooker.
7| Dry the cookware well after cleaning.
