GREATER SAFETY
has made its Pressure Cooker the
safest on the market. Help us to maintain this position
by refusing any NON ORIGINAL spare part (particularly
"SEALING GASKET" which alter this safety).
5 SAFETY SYSTEMS
This Pressure Cooker has 5 safety systems:
1 and 2. - High security opening and closure device:
This mechanism located on the lid handle designed
to prevent the Pressure Cooker from being opened
when there is pressure inside, however small this
amount may be; in which case the "Pressure
Detector" will be in view and THE LID CANNOT BE
OPENED (Fig. L).
On the contrary when there is no pressure, it will be
hidden inside the hole on lid handle (Fig. M). In this
case it can be opened.
If the Pressure Cooker is not closed correctly, the
device will impede pressure from being generated.
Safety during functioning.
3-Pressure regulating valve.
Maintains the Pressure Cooker working pressure at
all times, allowing the excess steam out (Fig. B).
4-Depressurising valve.
Comes into action when there is an increase in
pressure (Fig. C). When this valve functions, it means
the chimney is obstructed. Remove the Pressure
Cooker from the heat and clean it (Fig, 1).
5-Lid window.
Should the two safety devices become obstructed
during functioning, the lid window allows the
"SEALING GASKET" to expand outwards thereby
expelling all the steam (Fig. D).
Should this occur, take it to a Technical Assistance
Service, as it is necessary to check the two systems
of “Safety during functioning” mentioned before.
The "SEALING GASKET" is made from special materials
enabling it to act as a safety system. Should you use
any other which is not an original, then you run the
risk of cancelling out this safety system.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
- Never leave the Pressure Cooker unattended. Pay
attention to the steam emission through the
control valve.
- For the Pressure Cooker to come to pressure it
must always have water. It cannot be used with
oil only.
- Do not make any modifications to the safety
systems nor use fake sealing gaskets which are
not originals.
- If you are cooking pasty food, such as thick
soups, shake the Pressure Cooker slightly before
opening in order to avoid splashing.
TO OPEN THE PRESSURE COOKER
- Move the “Push Button” to the OPEN position (Fig.
E) and holding it down turn the lid towards the right
until it reaches the limit (Fig. F).
TO CLOSE THE PRESSURE COOKER
- Place the lid over the body so the arrow marked on
the lid coincides with that of the body handle (Fig.
G), thereby fitting the lid onto the body.
- Turn the lid in a clockwise direction until it reaches
the limit (Fig. H) with the push button in OPEN
position. The push button will automatically move
all the way back (Fig. I), if not do it manually.
The "High security device" prevents the Pressure
Cooker from getting pressure if the lid has not
been correctly closed.
COOKING WITH PRESSURE
COOKER. OPERATING PRESSURE
- Place the Pressure Cooker on the hotplate with the
heat source regulated to maximum.
Now two methods can be used:
1. If you wish to use low pressure move the “Pressure
Regulating Valve” to position 1 This will enable you to
soften food, finish a meat stew, etc.
2. If you wish to use high pressure, and therefore high
temperatures and a shorter cooking time (super-
rapid cooking) move the “Pressure Regulating
Valve” to position 2. (Fig. I)
In both cases, after a certain time you will notice
small amounts of necessary steam coming out
through the “Pressure Detector” to expel the air
from inside the Pressure Cooker. This will shortly
disappear, once the aforementioned device comes
up and closes off the steam outlet. This is when the
Pressure Cooker begins to have pressure.
The cooking times are calculated from the
moment steam starts to come out of the
"Pressure Regulating Valve" orifice, when this is
in position 2.
At this time heat intensity should be reduced
sufficiently to allow a small outlet of steam through
the "Pressure Regulating Valve".
During cooking it is NORMAL to notice small steam
losses through the safety valves.
If using gas for cooking, the flame must be controlled
right from the start, preventing it from coming out
round the bottom. The Pressure Cooker must be
centred over the heat source. This way energy will
be saved and the "Handles" and "SEALING GASKET"
will be protected against deterioration.
END OF COOKING TIME.
OPENING THE PRESSURE COOKER
- Once the cooking has finished remove the Pressure
Cooker from heat source even if this is switched off.
- Allow pressure to be dropped completely and naturally.
