Important note:
Take care to ensure that the liquid never fully
evaporates. This could result in food burning
onto the pot and the pot being damaged by
melting plastic parts. The hob could also be
damaged by the aluminium in the base melt-
ing. If this should occur then switch off the
heat source and do not move the pot until it
has cooled down completely.
10. Never fill the pressure cooker to more than
2/3 of its capacity. If using foodstuffs
which expand during the cooking process,
such as rice or dried vegetables, fill the
pressure cooker to a maximum of half its
capacity and observe any instructions de-
tailed in the operating manual with regards
to this.
11. Never leave your pressure cooker
unattended. Regulate the heat to ensure
that the cooking indicator does not rise
above the corresponding orange ring. If the
heat is not turned down, steam will escape
through the valve. Cooking times may
change and the loss of liquid may result in
function faults.
12. Only use the heat sources listed in the
operating manual.
13. If you have cooked meat with the skin
attached (such as ox-tongue), which may
expand under the influence of pressure,
take care not to pierce the meat while the
skin remains expanded. This could result in
burns.
14. In principle, always shake the pressure
cooker before opening it to avoid pockets
of steam spitting out; this could result in
scalding. This is particularly important
when releasing steam quickly or
depressurising the pressure cooker under
running water.
15. When releasing steam quickly or depressu-
rising under running water, always keep
your hands, head and body away from the
danger area. You could otherwise be inju-
red by escaping steam.
16. Before each use of your pressure cooker,
check that the safety devices, valves and
seals are working properly. Only then can
the safe functioning of your pressure
cooker be guaranteed. You will find
information on this in the operating
manual.
17. Do not use your pressure cooker to fry food
in oil under pressure.
18. Never interfere with the safety systems,
except when carrying out the maintenance
work specified in the operating manual.
19. Replace the wear parts (see warranty
statement) at regular intervals. Parts
showing apparent discolouration, cracks
or other damage, or which no longer sit
correctly, must be replaced with original
WMF spare parts.
20. Only use original WMF spare parts.
In particular, always use pots and lids of
the same model.
21. Do not use the pressure cooker if it or its
parts are damaged or distorted, or if their
functionality does not correspond to that
described in the operating manual. If that
is the case, please consult your nearest
WMF dealer or WMF AG's Customer Service
Department in Geislingen/Steige.
Please keep this operating manual in a safe
place.
