Tips for
energy-saving cooking
■
Cook vegetables and potatoes with the
minimum amount of water.
■
Match the pot size to the size of the
hotplate.
■ Switch to a lower heat setting as soon
as cooking begins.
■ Make use of the residual heat of the
hotplate for simmering and switch off
the hotplate a few minutes before the
end of the cooking time.
Cooking begins when steam escapes
evenly from the regulating valve.
The general rules are:
■
Cooking times are shortened by half
when compared to conventional pots.
■ The smaller size of the food to be
cooked, the shorter the cooking time.
Example: potatoes cut into smaller
chunks cook more quickly than whole
potatoes.
The listed cooking times at the end of
this manual (page 20) are intended
only as a guide.
Cleaning and care
Before beginning any work, pay attention
to the Safety instructions (page 11)!
Pressure cooker
■ For cleaning, use a commercially avail-
able washing up liquid and dry the
pressure cooker thoroughly.
■ Do not use abrasive cleaners or hard
sponges for cleaning as they may
scratch.
Sealing ring
■ Remove all soiling thoroughly and dry
the sealing ring.
■
Insert the sealing ring into the pressure
lid again.
NOTE
► Do not put the sealing ring into the
dishwasher. The material will be-
come brittle.
► Replace the sealing ring regularly
with a new one (every one to two
years depending in the frequency
of use or a soon as wear becomes
apparent) to ensure perfect
operation of the pressure cooker.
Pay particular attention to brittle
material, cracks, discolouring,
deformations and hardening.
1. Fill 1/4 liter water in the pot and insert
the wire stand supplied into the pot.
2. Put the steam insert with the food
onto the wire stand.
