BEFORE FIRST USE Thoroughly study these instructions for use before the first use. Wash the pressure cooker and all its parts with warmwater and detergent and wipe dry .

BEFORE EACH USE Inspecting the valves (Fig. A, B, C, D, E, F, G) Operating valve

Remove the pressure regulator by pulling it from the lid and make sure that its central part travels freely up and down (Fig. A). Check visually that the aperture in the piston of the operating valve on the lid is clean and not clogged (Fig. B). Otherwise flush it under running water or clean it using a suitable object such as a thin skewer (Fig. C). Check if the nut of the operating valve on the bottom of the lid is tight enough. If not, tighten the nut . Attach the pressure regulator back to the lid handle after inspecting it, push the steam release button several times and make sure that the pressure regulator freely travels up and down (Fig. D) and can be easily set to the low and high pressure positions . Safety valve Push on the centre of the safety valve using a suitable object such as a thin skewer - it must spring freely (Fig. E). Then push the lock against accidental opening on the bottom of the lid grip away from the centre of the lid and hold it – the safety valve on the bottom of the lidmust travel freely up and down (Fig. F). Check if the nut of the safety valve is tight enough; if not, tighten the nut . Lock against accidental opening Push the lock against accidental opening several times away from the centre of the lid – the lock must spring (Fig. G). INSPECT THE VALVES AND THE LOCK BEFORE EACH USE OF THE PRESSURE COOKER, APPLYING DUE CARE. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE Opening the pressure cooker (Fig. H) Push and hold the steam release / lid opening button, turn the lid counterclockwise and lift it off the vessel. NEVER APPLY INAPPROPRIATE FORCEWHEN OPENING THE PRESSURE COOKER. Filling the pressure cooker (Fig. J) FOR SAFETY REASONS, THE PRESSURE COOKER MUST BE FILLED TO A MAXIMUM OF 2/3 VESSEL CAPACITY. With foods that tend to froth or swell when heated, such as soups or lentils, rice, etc., fill the pressure cooker to a maximum of 1/2 vessel capacity to avoid unwanted clogging of valves and overboiling. DO NOT COOKWITHOUTWATER IN THE PRESSURE COOKER. THE MINIMUM AMOUNT OFWATER IS 250 ML. Closing the pressure cooker (Fig. K) Place the lid onto the vessel so that the round marks on the lid and on the handle of the vessel point towards each other . Turn the lid clockwise so that the grips and the handles are aligned. Make sure that the pressure regulator is inserted in the lid; if not, push it down lightly.
