Use and Care Manual

CHECKING BEFORE LOCKING

Before locking the pressure cooker, always make

sure that the venting pipe and the safety valve are

clean and not obstructed. To check whether the

safety valve is clean, check the smooth turning of

the ball inside the valve. Please see detail in the

"Care and Maintenance" section on page 8.

CLOSING THE PRESSURE COOKER

Line up the O mark on the lid with the mark

on the pot handle (Fig. 4). Press down slightly

on the lid and turn clockwise just until the two

handles line up and lock together (Fig. 5). After

locking the cooker, slide the pressure safety

lock away from the lid until it snaps into place

(Fig. 6).

COOKING

After filling the pressure cooker (Fig. 7), place on

the burner, and select the appropriate pressure

setting for the type of food being cooked (Fig. 8).

See "Recommended Cooking Times" on page 10.

Place the pressure cooker on the stovetop and

begin heating using medium to medium-high

heat. It is normal for a small amount of steam to

escape from the venting pipe. When the pressure

indicator moves up, pressure is building inside

the cooker. If using a gas stove, do not allow gas

flames to extend up the sides of the cookware

and overheat the handles (Fig. 9).
