USING THE PRESSURE COOKER
PAG08
6. Use the heat stored in the thermal bottom and save energy by disconnecting the heat source
before the food cooking time has terminated.
7. If steam is released via the lid edges, via the safety valve and/or via the expansion window, re-
move the pressure cooker from the heat source, depressurise it and check:
- Whether the adjustment valve is clear;
- Whether the sealing ring is clean, properly positioned and shows any sign of deterioration;
- Whether the edge of the pressure cooker unit shows any signs of deterioration which prevent the
effective adjustment of the sealing ring.
3.3 UPON COMPLETION OF USE
1. Once the cooking time has elapsed, remove the pressure cooker from the heat source and de-
pressurise it, slowly turning the selector button to the position indicated in (FIG.07), to release the
steam. Please note that you should be extremely careful to avoid any burns which may be caused
by the steam released.
2. After depressurisation, open the pressure cooker moving the button from the close to the open
position until you hear a click (FIG.08); remove the lid, turning the handle anti-clockwise. (FIG.09).
Please note that you should not force the opening of the pressure cooker until the pressure indicator
is totally down, as this practice can put the user in danger and damage the cooker.
3. To handle the pressure cooker only use Bakelite accessories and, where necessary, wear gloves or
some other means of protection. (FIG.10).
