Using The Pressure Cooker For The First Time - Kuhn Rikon DUROMATIC Mode D'emploi

4. Using the pressure cooker for the first time

Before using the pressure cooker the first time, wash the pan, lid and gasket
with hot, soapy water.
On electric cookers, the diameter of the pressure cooker base should match
that of the hotplate or ring. The compatible hob diameter is etched into the
base of the pan. (See section 14)
On some induction cookers noise may be generated whilst cooking under certain
conditions on account of cookware oscillation in sympathy with the magnetic field.
Unfortunately this cannot be prevented when using this cookware.
If you cook on gas, never allow the gas flame to lick the sides of the pan. If you
do, the exterior of the pan will become discoloured and the grips (or handles) will
overheat and degrade. We recommend using a flame protector. (See section 17)
4.1 Using the TIMAX module for the first time
Insert battery in the TIMAX module. (See section 11.2.1)
Follow the instructions and warnings of the battery manufacturer
and use only 3 volt lithium batteries of type CR 2025 (KUHN RIKON
item no. 1558).
Using other batteries can involve risk (ignition, explosion).
4.2 Using your non-stick DUROMATIC pressure cooker for the first time
After washing out the pressure cooker thoroughly with warm water to which
washing-up liquid has been added, place a few drops of cooking oil into the
pressure cooker prior to its first use and then wipe out with a paper kitchen towel.
