Filling; Checking The Valve - Kuhn Rikon DUROMATIC COMFORT Mode D'emploi

5. Filling

Never fill the pan more than two-thirds full including the liquid
you have added (see the markings on the inside of the pan).
Never fill the cooker beyond half full (1/2 mark) if you are preparing
soup, certain cereals, dried pulses (see page 21) or dried beans.)
If overfilled, the safety elements may become impaired (risk of
scalding).
Never forget to add liquid (see the table of cooking times in section
15), as complete evaporation will spoil food and overheat the cooker.
Stir salt into hot water until it is completely dissolved. To avoid
damage to the stainless steel, do not store salt water or heavily salted
foods in the pressure cooker otherwise the stainless steel may be
corroded.

6. Checking the valve

The valve is a pressure control device!
Check whether the valve cap is screwed on tightly; if not, screw
it on tightly (see the cleaning and care instructions in section 10).
6
Check to see whether the valve is free to move
by pulling gently on the pressure indicator. If the
valve cannot be moved, do not use the pressure
cooker. (See Troubleshooting in section 11)
