FISSLER MAGIC COMFORT / INTENSA
1. Safety instruction
• Before using the pressure cooker for the first
time, carefully read the user instructions. Do not
permit persons who are not familiar with the
user instructions to use the pressure cooker.
When giving the cooker to another person,
always include the user instructions.
• Keep children away from the pressure cooker
when it is being used.
• Do not use the pressure cooker for any other
purposes than those stated in the user instruc-
tions.
• Never place the pressure cooker and pressure
skillets in the oven, as this would destroy the
plastic and rubber parts and safety mechanisms.
• When used for deep-frying, fill the pressure
cooker only halfway with oil, and do not cover
it with a lid (see chapter 7).
• Only use the pressure cooker with the heat
sources described in this user manual (see chap-
ter 2).
• Pressure cookers may not be used for medical
purposes, such as sterilisation, as they are not
designed to reach temperature levels required
for sterilisation.
• Every time you use the pressure cooker, inspect
the safety mechanisms to ensure that they are
not damaged or dirty (see chapter 7).
• Do not in any way alter or interfere with the
safety mechanisms, except to carry out mainte-
nance tasks described in the instructions for use.
Do not repair or oil the valves! Use only original
Fissler replacement parts that fit your cooker
model (see chapter 11) to ensure that it will func-
tion properly and safely.
• Replace wear parts such as the rubber gasket,
the silicone membrane, the valve base seal, the
O-ring of the Euromatic and the O-ring of the lid
screw approx. every 400 cooking cycles, or lat-
est after two years. Use only original Fissler
replacement parts. Parts that show visible dam-
age (cracks, deformation) or discoloration, or
that have become brittle must be replaced with-
out delay. Non-compliance can seriously com-
promise the performance and safety of the
cooker.
• Never install parts from other manufacturers in
your Fissler pressure cooker.
• Ensure that you only use your Fissler pressure
cooker with the Fissler pressure cooker lid of
the same model.
• Never heat up you pressure cooker without
adding liquid, as this could result in damage to
the cooker or the hob from overheating. In cer-
tain extreme cases of overheating, the alu-
minium in the base may melt and liquefy. In the
event of such overheating, never remove the
cooker from the hob: otherwise, there is a risk
of burns caused by hot aluminium spillage.
Switch off the hob and allow the pressure
cooker to cool down. Ventilate the room.
• Adhere strictly to the following filling instruc-
tions:
Minimum:
1
/4 litre of liquid (2 cups)
Maximum:

For food that tends to froth or swell (e.g. rice,
