built-up particles. To do so, move the
operating valve to the position shown in
Fig. 8 and remove the valve (see detailed
instructions below). Clean it by running
water through it. Next, lift the lid up to the
light and look through the hole under the
operating valve. Make sure you can see
through it and there are no food particles
blocking it. If necessary, clean it with a
small brush or pipe cleaner.
TO REMOVE THE OPERATING VALVE
FOR CLEANING PURPOSES:
1. Turn the operating valve to the
release pressure position (picture of
the steam, see Fig. 8).
2. Gently lift the operating valve upward,
not more than a quarter of an inch
(Fig. 13).
3. As you are pulling the valve up,
keep trying to turn it to the left,
counterclockwise, toward the picture
of the circle with the line through
it. You are looking for a groove,
once you find this groove the valve
will allow you to turn to the unlock
position (picture of the circle with the
line through it, see Fig. 14).
4. Lift the valve upwards and out. Clean
as instructed above.
TO REPLACE THE VALVE AFTER
CLEANING
Point the vent in the valve to the unlock
position. Place the valve in its socket and
turn it to the right towards the steam
release position. You will hear it click back
into place as you turn it to the steam
release position.
Basic instructions for cooking
In this section you will find basic
instructions for cooking foods which are
most commonly prepared in pressure
cookers.
Do not chop or cut food inside the cooker
with a knife or other sharp utensil to avoid
scratching the bottom.
For soups and stocks, do not fill pressure
cooker over 1/2 full!
Remember to ALWAYS use some cooking
liquid. Operating the cooker without any
cooking liquid or allowing the cooker to
boil dry will damage the cooker and will
not allow it to build pressure for proper
functioning.
Fresh and frozen vegetables
• Wash all fresh vegetables thoroughly.
• Peel all root vegetables, such as red
beets, carrots, potatoes and turnips.
• Whole winter pumpkin should be
pierced several times with a fork
before cooking.
• When you steam vegetables in a
steamer basket (steamer baskets sold
