Handling the pressure cooker
Take off lid

1. Hold both handles tightly and push the
release lever (8) on the lid handle upwards.
2. At the same time, turn the lid counter-
clockwise.
3. Lift the lid upwards.
WARNING
► Wait until the pressure has been fully
released before opening the lid.
Putting on lid and closing pot
(See illustration B)
1. Put the lid with the inserted sealing ring
onto the pot so that the circle on the lid is in
line with the circle on the pot handle.
2. Hold the lid tight and turn it clockwise
until the lid handle snaps into place over
the pot handle with an audible “click” and
cannot be moved any further. Your pressure
cooker is now ready for use.
Inserting sealing ring
1. Insert the sealing ring into the lid without
twisting it and or leaving gaps. The sealing
ring must lie at underneath the inwardly
bent edge segments of the lid (see g. C2).
Check safety valve
(see illustration C1-C3)
The safety valve (10) indicates the pressure
in the pressure cooker by its red cap:
Red cap down: pressure cooker is not
under pressure and can be opened.
Red cap up: Pressure cooker is under
pressure and CANNOT be opened.
NOTE
► Before using each time, check that the
safety valve can move easily by pressing
against it from beneath. It must be possible
to push it up easily and must fall into the
lower position after being let go (see g. C2
and C3). In addition, the pin in the middle
of the safety valve can be pushed upward
when clean.
Cooking with the pressure
cooker
For the produc-
tion of steam, a minimum liquid quantity of
approx. 1/4 l is necessary.
