10. The total amount of food that easily increases in volume (such as
legumes, rice or dehydrated vegetables) must not exceed ½ the
volume of the pot.
11. Foods that have a top layer to be peeled (eg sausages, chicken or
fruit) MUST be pierced before cooking. Failure to puncture the layer
can lead to a signicant increase in the volume of the food and
splashing of hot food after opening the lid. You could be scalded.
Never pierce swollen skin or peel, you may get scalded.
12. When cooking pasta, gently shake the pressure cooker before
opening it to avoid ejecting of the food.
13. Take extra care when preparing certain types of food, such as
peas, apples, berries, oatmeal, cereals or pasta, which foam during
cooking. The foam could clog the safety valve.
Pressure release methods
When the cooking program is completed and the pressure
release starts, press the button Cancel to cancel the Keep warm
function.
Always use kitchen tongs when releasing the pressure valve,
and use protective kitchen gloves to turn the pressure valve
to the "OPEN" position. This protects you from hot steam. The
valve rises slightly and steam is released. The lid will not open
until the steam is released and the pressure is released.
Once the pressure in the cooker drops to a safe value, the
oating valve ts back into the lid and the pin from the back of
the lid is pushed out.
As soon as the steam stops coming out of the oating valve,
make sure that the valve is fully lowered before opening the lid,
see the picture on the right.
When you open the lid the food will be hot. Always wear gloves
and an apron to protect yourselves from splashing of hot food.
Quick release
Recommended for fast cooking and steaming, including
vegetables and seafood.
After canceling the Keep warm function, move the pressure
valve to the open position and try to open the lid only when all the steam is released and the oating pressure
indicator drops. Let the pressure cooker stand for 1-2 minutes. Now you can open the lid. If the lid does not
open, wait a few more minutes and try again. Never try to force the lid open, as a locked lid is a sign that
there is still high pressure inside the cooker.
Slow release
Recommended for foods with a peeling layer (e.g. sausages, chicken or fruit) and foods high in liquid or starch
(e.g. oatmeal, soups, pasta, rice and fruit, as well as delicate foods such as meat and potatoes).
These foods can greatly increase their volume under pressure, which can cause a hot liquid or food to splash
out when the lid is opened. To prevent splashing, leave the pressure relief valve closed after completing the
