Pressure cooker Bio exclusive+

If the pressure cooker cannot be closed following the above description, check whether the pressure indicator is inserted in the lid grip. If not, push the lock against accidental opening away from the centre of the lid – the pressure indicator will slip in automatically and the pressure cooker can be closed. DO NOT APPLY INAPPROPRIATE FORCE WHEN CLOSING THE PRESSURE COOKER. Cooking in the pressure cooker (Fig. L, M, N) SELECT LOW OR HIGH PRESSURE BY SETTING THE REGULATOR TO THE RELEVANT POSITION. 1. If you wish to cook at low pressure, turn the pressure regulator to the right . Cooking at low pressure is ideal for economic cooking of meals, for example for cooking vegetables, fruit, fish, etc. (Fig. L). 2. If you wish to cook at high pressure, turn the pressure regulator to the left . Cooking at high pressure is quicker and uses a higher temperature. It is suitable in especially for cooking meat and meals that require longer thermal treatment (Fig. M). 3. Place the correctly filled and closed pressure cooker with the selected pressure onto a cooker set to the highest output. 4. The red pressure indicator placed in the lid grip will slip upwards after a short while. This means that the minimum pressure has been generated in the vessel and the pressure cooker can no longer be opened – steam will begin to escape from the aperture in the pressure regulator after a while (Fig. N). 5. When steam begins to escape from the aperture in the pressure regulator, reduce the heat output so that only a small amount of steam escapes from the aperture in the pressure regulator. 6. We do not recommend changing the low / high pressure setting while cooking. 7. If this is necessary, use an oven mitt to control pressure during the cooking process! WARNING! A MINUTE AMOUNT OF STEAM MAY ALSO ESCAPE FROM THE APERTURE BELOW THE LID GRIP DURING THE COOKING PROCESS. NOTICE If a large amount of steam escapes from the pressure cooker at the beginning of the cooking process, the pressure cooker has not been correctly closed. Incorrect closing is usually due to the following: a) The lid is attached incorrectly – close the pressure cooker again. b) The pressure regulator of the operating valve has slipped up to the steam release position – push the pressure regulator downwards and set it to the low or high pressure cooking position. c) The silicone seal is incorrectly positioned in the lid – check its position. d) The silicone seal is faulty – replace it with a new original TESCOMA seal. End of cooking, releasing steam and opening the pressure cooker (Fig. O) ALWAYS RELEASE STEAM ONLY AFTER REMOVING THE PRESSURE COOKER FROM HEAT. After the time required for cooking your meal elapses, remove the pressure cooker from the heat source even if the heat source has already been switched off. Set the pressure cooker aside for a while to allow the temperature and pressure in the pressure cooker to drop sufficiently. Then push the steam release button and hold it until all steam has escaped from the pressure cooker (Fig. O). The pressure indicator will slip down automatically after steam has been entirely released and pressure has dropped; the pressure cooker can be opened now.
