Cleaning And Care Instructions For The Duromatic - Kuhn Rikon DUROMATIC Mode D'emploi

ENGLISH DUROMATIC® PRESSURE COOKER
Pressure reduction tips for specific foods:
Foods with a short cooking time:
Use fast pressure reduction as otherwise foods can become overcooked.
Vegetables with a long cooking time / soups / meats, completely covered by liquid
/ potatoes / cereals / dried pulses:
Use slow pressure reduction. Do not use water to cool!
(Potatoes could otherwise fall apart)
Meat / vegetables / frozen vegetables / fresh fruits /dried foods (excluding pulses):
Use normal or fast pressure reduction (for ready-prepared meals, allow the
pressure cooker to stand beside the heat source for one minute before reducing
pressure).
Fish / risotto:
Use fast pressure reduction.
Foods with a high fat content or mash-type foods (e.g. dried pulses): Use slow
pressure reduction and gently shake the cooker before opening the lid to prevent
the contents from spitting when the lid is opened.
After cooking meat with a skin (e.g. ox tongue) which may swell under the effect of
pressure, do not prick the meat while the skin is swollen as you might be scalded.
11. CLEANING AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE DUROMATIC®
Under normal circumstances, the valve is self-cleaning. However, if food particles
have passed through the valve, then it is necessary to take the valve apart in order
to clean it. (See section 11.1)
Tighten loose handles or grips with a screwdriver. If you have difficulties, contact
your local dealer or a KUHN RIKON Service Center.(See section 14)
After each use, remove the gasket from the lid. Rinse out and wash both, the
gasket and the lid, taking care to thoroughly clean the area around the flanges.
The security valve (SI valve / secondary safety device) must always be correctly
fitted to the lid when using the pressure cooker (= spring visible on the inside of
the lid). Never remove this valve for cleaning!
Do not wash the pan, lid, protection cap or gasket in a dishwasher.
Never remove stains or baked-in marks with abrasive means such as with knives,
steel wool or copper cloths. Instead, soak in hot water with a little detergent until
stains can be easily removed with a soft brush, sponge or cloth.
