Pressure cooker ULTIMA

The pressure adjustment inside the vessel can be changed also during the cooking process; to do so, make sure when handling the pressure regulator that the steam escaping from the pressure cooker is directed away from you and use an oven mitten when handling the regulator. WARNING! A MINUTE AMOUNT OF STEAM MAY ALSO ESCAPE FROM THE AREA BETWEEN THE LID AND THE BOTTOM OF THE OPERATING VALVE DURING THE COOKING PROCESS (Fig. P). ENDING THE COOKING PROCESS Releasing steam and opening the pressure cooker ALWAYS RELEASE STEAM ONLY AFTER REMOVING THE PRESSURE COOKER FROM THE HEAT. After the time required for cooking your meal elapses, remove the pressure cooker from the heat source even if the latter 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. Make sure before releasing steam that the pressure cooker is placed on the heat source in such a way that the IDEALCOOK pressure regulator is on the remote end of the pressure cooker. Then adjust the pressure regulator to the steam release position and release all steam from the pressure cooker (Fig. Q). The pressure intensity regulator automatically slips into the operating valve while the steam is released. The lock against accidental opening will slip downwards after the steam has been entirely released and the pressure has entirely dropped. The pressure cooker can now be opened (Fig. R). If the pressure indicator and the lock against accidental opening remain slipped to the upper position after steam is released, this means that there is still pressure in the vessel. In this case, put the pressure cooker into the sink and cool the lid with a small amount of slowly running cold water until the pressure indicator and the lock slip into position. NEVER COOL THE PRESSURE COOKER ABRUPTLY UNDER RUNNING WATER, DO NOT LET WATER RUN DOWN THE PLASTIC PARTS AND DO NOT IMMERSE THE ENTIRE PRESSURE COOKER IN WATER. NEVER OPEN THE PRESSURE COOKER BEFORE YOU HAVE RELEASED ALL STEAM AND THE RED LOCK AGAINST ACCIDENTAL OPENING HAS SLIPPED AUTOMATICALLY INTO POSITION. The operating valve controls the operating pressure in the vessel, continuously releases excess steam and releases all steam from the pressure cooker at the end of cooking. The operating valve includes the pressure-reducing safety component – if the operating valve and the safety valve become clogged at once and the pressure cooker is not removed from the heat in time, the pressure in the pressure cooker releases the pressure-reducing safety component inside the operating valve, whereby the pressure drops immediately and steam escapes from the pressure cooker. The operating valve and especially the aperture for releasing steammust remain free and not covered e.g. by an oven mitten or any other object while the pressure cooker is in use. Safety valve The safety valve operates as a safety component activated when the operating valve becomes clogged. If steam begins to escape intensely from the safety valve during the cooking process, immediately remove the pressure cooker from the heat. When the pressure cooker cools down, open it, unscrew the nut of the operating valve on the bottom of the lid, remove the operating valve from the lid and thoroughly clean it under runningwater.
