Once the cooking time is complete, the source of heat is
switched off and the pressure in the cooking pot must
be released. To do this, remove the cooking pot from the
hob and place it on a suitable base. There are three ways
to release the pressure:
1.
Allow the Pressure Cooker to cool:
Wait until the red safety valve has completely retracted.
This is recommended for dishes that are mushy or that
create a lot of foam.
2.
Slow pressure release:
Slowly turn the pressure control valve to the position .
Do not change directly from position 2 to position .
Instead, change first from position 2 to position 1, wait a
few seconds, and then change to position .
If you are using pressure level 1, you can change directly
from position 1 to .
WARNING:
The escaping steam is very hot. The steam
escapes upwards. Please do not place your hands over
the valve – wait until no more steam is escaping and the
pressure indicator is no longer visible. This method is not
suitable for food that is mushy or that creates a lot of
foam.
3.
Quick pressure release:
Hold the cooking pot under the tap and allow
moderately cold running water to run over the lid – not
over the plastic parts – until the red safety valve has
lowered completely. Do not place the cooking pot in
water. If the safety valve has lowered completely, the
cooking pot is no longer under pressure. Now set the
pressure control valve to the position . If no more
steam is escaping, you can open the Pressure Cooker.
The lid can be lifted off.
WARNING:
Never force the lid open and do not make
any alterations to the safety systems. The Pressure
Cooker cannot be opened until it has been
depressurised.
