2. Improve safety mechanisms 

This pressure cooker is equipped with various safety mechanisms. Each time before using the 

pressure cooker, check the following steps to ensure that the safety mechanisms work properly. 

Never modify them in any way.

Before cooking make sure that the valves, the gasket and the lid handles fit properly and firmly.

(3) Steam control valve

Check unobstructed mobility of the control valve (from    to   ).

(4) Safety valve

Check the safety valve for cleanness by holding the lid in the daylight and looking through the 

valve. If the valve is soiled, clean it with a small brush or pipe-cleaner 

(picture C).

(9 + 11) Silicone gasket und safety window

Make sure that the silicone gasket and the rim of the lid are clean. Before each use check the 

silicone gasket for damages. After that insert the silicone gasket so that it lies completely flat in 

the lid.

The safety window is additionally added in the lid rim. In case of too high pressure in the pot 

the silicone gasket pushes itself outwards so that the steam can escape.

Tip: We recommend spreading water or cooking oil on the silicone gasket so that the lid can 

easily be put on the pressure cooker.

(5) Release button

Before each use press the release button and turn the lid counter-clockwise to check if the 

pressure cooker can be opened. Pay attention that the arrows on the lid and the body handle 

are opposite each other. Only then the cooker can be opened 

(figure A + B).

3. Pressure cooking – that’s so simple:

     a. Fill the pressure cooker with the desired food and needed liquid. Please note the following 

         volumes (both together: food and liquid):

         o Add at least 1/4 litre

         o Fill the pressure cooker to a maximum of 2/3 of its capacity

         o Volume of content should not exceed 1/2 of the pressure cooker’s capacity for foods 

            which increase in volume or produce large amount of foam as for example: rice, cereals, 

            dried vegetables

b. Insert the silicone gasket (9) so that it lies completely flat in the lid.

     Hold the body handle (7) with your left hand, and with your right hand place the pressure   

     cooker lid (1) on the pressure cooker. When putting on the lid please pay attention that the 

     arrows on the lid and the body handle are opposite each other 

(figure A)

. Pull the lid clock- 

     wise in the direction of the body handle until the release button (5) locks audibly with a 

     clicking sound 

(figure B)

.

     Pay attention that the steam control valve (3) is positioned at  .

c. Turn the steam control valve (3) to     and place the pressure cooker on the stove.

     Set your stove at the highest cooking level. If the pressure in the pressure cooker increases,    

     the red safety valve (4) becomes visible and a slight sizzle is audible. From now the pressure 

     cooker cannot be opened anymore. It takes a few minutes until pressure cooker reaches the 

     cooking temperature 

(figure D + E)

.

     Now reduce the heat by setting the hotplate to a lower level. This saves energy and avoids 

     fast vaporization of the liquid in the cooker.

     Please note the following points:

     o If the heat is not regulated, the steam will escape from the steam control valve (3). This 

         causes the fast reduction of the liquid in the pressure cooker. The cooking times are 

         reduced. If all of the liquid is evaporated the food may burn and the pressure cooker may 

         be damaged. Avoid this by reducing the heat setting immediately.

     o If the heat is regulated too much/ is set too low the pressure in the pressure cooker will   

        decrease slowly and the safety valve (4) will sink. This extends the cooking time.
