SAFETY FEATURES
This product is equipped with four safety features
shown below. Please familiarise yourself with them
for your safety (Fig. 6).
1. Pressure-limiting Valve
The pressure-limiting valve can be turned to one
of four positions to select the required function
(Fig. 7). Select the high pressure step or low
pressure setting according to your cooking
requirements.
2. Safety Open-preventing Valve
This will raise when the pressure reaches 4Kpa.
Beware of the steam escaping as this can scald.
3. Steam Releasing Valve
When the pressure-limiting valve and the safety
valve are not working, the steam will release
through the steam releasing valve.
4. Opening Button
The lid must only be opened by pushing the
button on the lid. Do not force the lid open.
HOW TO USE THE PRESSURE COOKER
1. Please clean the pressure cooker before first
use by adding water and heat for 30 minutes.
2. Make sure that the hole of both the safety valve
and the steam-releasing pipe is clear.
3. To close the lid, align the ‘O’ marked on the lid
to the ‘O’ marked on the lower handle by turning
the lid clockwise.
4. To adjust the level of pressure, turn the pressure-
limiting valve to ‘I’ for low pressure and ‘II’ for
high pressure (Fig. 5).
5. To raise the temperature quickly, place the
cooker on a high heat until the safety open-
preventing valve begins to work. It is normal for
a small amount of steam to seep from the safety
open-preventing valve when the pressure cooker
is in use.
6. After a while the pressure-limiting valve will
raise and steam will continuously escape with
a ‘squeak’ sound. Reduce the level of heat and
allow the pressure cooker to continue cooking for
the required time.
Cooking time should be calculated from the
moment the pressure-limiting valve rises.
7. After cooking, there are two ways in which the
pressure cooker can be opened:
a) Natural Cooling – leave the cooker to cool
down naturally and wait for the safety open-
preventing valve to fall down.
b) Water Cooling – To cool the cooker down
quickly, place on a level place under cold running
water until the safety open-preventing valve falls
down. Caution: Take care not to allow water to
flow in to the cooker through the safety open-
preventing valve an the pressure limiting valve.
