Pressure cookers MAGNUM

Pull the operating valve repeatedly upwards using a suitable tool such as a fork. The valve must spring and return freely to the original position. FILLING (Figure 3) Maximum allowable filling Fill the pressure cooker to amaximumof 1/2 vessel capacity with foods that tend to froth or swell when heated (such as soups or lentils)! Fill to a maximum of 2/3 vessel capacity with other foods that do not change volume when heated! Minimum allowable filling 1 dl NEVER COOK IN A PRESSURE COOKERWITHOUTWATER! CLOSING (Figure 4) MAKE SURE TO ACCURATELY FOLLOWTHESE INSTRUCTIONSWHEN CLOSING THE PRESSURE COOKER LID: Turn the lid handle over to the “open” position; incline the lid and insert it into the vessel from the side. Let both ends of the crosspiece attach to the upper rim of the vessel. Turn the lid handle to the “closed” position and make sure that the lid has tightly sealed to the upper rim of the vessel. After closing, avoid excessive pressure on the handle that might damage future tightness of the attachment. The correct position of the handle when entirely closed is horizontal ! COOKING (Figure 5) ALWAYS SELECT A RANGE OF PROPER SIZE AND REASONABLE FLAMEWHEN COOKING. The range diameter must be identical or lower than the bottom of the vessel! Flame must never expand beyond the bottom of the vessel . Always use the disperser net or cooking range when cooking on gas. Place the properly filled and closed vessel on stove set to maximum or medium-to-maximum output. BEWARE! The operating valve armmust be in horizontal position. After 2 to 5 minutes (depending on the type of stove and filling of the vessel), pressure builds up in the vessel. Steam begins to escape from the operating valve, producing moderate hissing. At that moment reduce the output of the stove until only a small amount of steam is escaping from the valve and the hissing sound is slight – usually setting the stove to 1–2 is enough . Switch the heat off in advance before the required time elapses. With the three-layer sandwich bottom , the accumulated heat energy is transferred into the vessel even after the heat has been switched off. The time required for cooking different foods is given in the enclosed table and applies from the moment pressure builds up in the vessel, which is accompanied by a slight hissing sound.
