Selecting the cooking setting
See Fig. M
Select the desired cooking setting on the control valve (Fig. A-5). The table of cooking times (Chapter 9) will give you
suggestions for this.
Setting 1, approx. 110°C
(Gentle Setting)
(45 kPa operating pressure)
for delicate foods, such as fish or vegetables
Setting 2, approx. 116°C
(Speed Setting)
(75 kPa operating pressure)
for all other foods, such as meats or stews
Steaming without pressure
In addition to settings for gentle and speed cooking, you can also select cooking settings for gentle steaming and
conventional cooking. You will find additional information on the pressureless steaming setting in Chapter 8.
Building pressure and expelling air
Set your heat source to high to heat up the pressure cooker. Steam will escape from under the lid handle (Fig. A-1),
along with the atmospheric oxygen that can destroy vitamins. This process can take a few minutes. As soon as the
Euromatic closes and no more steam is expelled, pressure will begin to build up. The traffic light indicator (Fig. A-6)
will soon begin to rise.
Traffic light system
See Fig. N
No matter which cooking setting you select (Setting 1 or 2), the traffic light indicator will show you three different
colors. Much like a traffic light, these colors tell you the temperature in the cooker and help you to regulate the
energy source.
When the electronic vitacontrol
®
digital* cooking assistant is used, this information is also provided by optical
and acoustic signals, on the device itself or in the Fissler Cooking App (see separate Instructions for Use).
Yellow ring:
“The selected cooking setting will soon be reached. You can turn down the heat.”
Depending on the kind of stove and what you are cooking, you may need to reduce the energy sooner or later. For
solid burners or glass ceramic cooking surfaces at the beginning of the yellow ring, for induction or gas toward the
end of the yellow ring.
Green ring:
“The selected cooking setting has been reached. The actual cooking time begins now.”
Adjust the energy source so that the traffic light indicator remains in the green area during the entire cooking period.
