GENERAL INFORMATION FOR COOKING UNDER PRESSURE
• Once pressure has built up in the appliance:
− The pressure limit valve will rise. The safety lock in the lid is then activated and the lid
will not be able to be opened during cooking. Never attempt to open the lid during
pressure cooking.
− The led Low, Medium, or High will light on to indicate that there is pressure in the
appliance.
• When using the pressure cooker for the first few times, you may notice slight leaking from
the pressure limit valve and the sealing gasket. This is normal and will occur when pressure
builds up.
• Your favourite traditional recipes can be easily adapted to PRESSURE COOK setting.
− Low (Low Pressure): to cook delicate food such as fish, shellfish and some vegetables
− Medium (Moderate Pressure): to cook vegetables
− High (High Pressure): to cook meat and frozen food
• It is normal for a small amount of steam to escape during cooking (as the valve is a safety
1918
valve).
• Don’t use the pressure cooking without a minimum amount of water of 10cl.
• For cooking with pressure, the starting of the cooking is indicated by a single beep sound.
The operational pressure is achieved after a double beep sound.
Safety features
Your pressure cooker contains several safety features:
Safety When Opening:
− If your pressure cooker is under pressure, the manometric rod is in the upper locking
position, which prevents the cover from opening. Never try to force open your pressure
cooker.
− It is especially important not to apply pressure to the manometric rod.
− Ensure that the internal pressure has fallen (additional steam escaping from the safety
valve) prior to trying to open the cover.
Two Overpressure Safety Features:
− First device: the safety valve releases the pressure – see chapter on Cleaning and Main-
tenance, page 18.
− Second device : the joint let off steam on the back of the cover.
If one of the overpressure safety features is triggered:
• Turn off your appliance.
• Allow your appliance to completely cool down.
• Open it.
• Check and clean the safety valve, decompression ball and gasket. See chapter on Clea-
ning and Maintenance.
• If your appliance leaks or is no longer operational after having performed these checks
and cleaning, take it to an Authorised Service Centre.
Regulating your appliance:
The pressure can be regulated by switching the heating element on or off.
