Pressure cooker ULTIMA+

remove the pressure cooker from the heat. Open the pressure cooker after it cools down and contact a TESCOMA service centre. Lock against accidental opening Prevents accidental opening of the pressure cooker before all steam has escaped from the vessel and pressure has dropped entirely. Pressure indicator The pressure intensity indicator shows the current pressure in the vessel. If the indicator is inserted inside the operating valve, there is no operating pressure in the vessel. If the pressure intensity indicator shows a red ring, the operating pressure in the vessel is higher than permitted; in this case, immediately reduce the heat output to minimum and if the red ring remains in the upper position even after reducing the heat output, immediately turn off the heat source and remove the pressure cooker from the heat. The diameter of the cooking range must be identical or smaller than the diameter of the bottom of the pressure cooker! Flames must never expand beyond the bottom of the pressure cooker. Use the dispenser net or cooking range when cooking on gas. Make use of the heat retaining properties of the three-layer sandwich bottom. Switch the heat off in advance before the end of cooking. Thanks to the three-layer sandwich bottom, the accumulated heat energy is transferred into the pressure cooker even after the heat has been switched off. The vessel of the pressure cooker can also be used without the lid as a traditional pot for cooking meals on the cooking range. 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 is set in the steam release position – adjust it to one of the positions for cooking. STORAGE, MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING Lid DO NOT WASH THE LID OF THE PRESSURE COOKER IN DISHWASHER. Clean the apertures in the nut of the operating valve by flushing themwith runningwater or clean themusing a suitable object. Clean the safety valve by repeatedly pushing on the centre and lightly pulling the entire valve upwards under running water. Do not dismount the safety valve, rotating closure of the lid, grips or any other parts of the lid. ALWAYS STORE THE PRESSURE COOKER WITH THE LID UNATTACHED. 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. PRACTICAL HINTS ALWAYS USE AN APPROPRIATE SIZE OF COOKING RANGE OR FLAME FOR COOKING.
