gasket every 1 or 2 years, depending on
the frequency of use.

NOTE
If during use, you observe natural wear and
tear on the different parts of the pressure
cooker, contact our technical assistance
service or simply substitute the damaged
parts according to the spare parts list
available at our distribution outlets.
IMPORTANT: Do not adjust parts or attempt
to assemble them in any way other than that
indicated. ALWAYS USE ORIGINAL SPARE
PARTS.
9) COOKING TIMES
The times indicated are meant only as a
guideline. You should adjust them to suit
your personal tastes, cooking style and
ingredients, etc.
• It is best to soak lentils, chickpeas and
haricot beans etc. before cooking.
• You do not need to defrost frozen pulses
or small fish. Increase cooking time by a few
minutes when cooking large fish and frozen
meat.
• Frothy soups (e.g. pea soup, etc.) should
be first cooked with the lid off. Before closing
the lid remove the froth with a skimmer.
• You do not need to worry about water
evaporation as only a very small amount of
vapour actually escapes.
• Brown meat a little more than normal
as the vapour tends to lighten the colour.
Cooking times will depend on its thickness
and quality.
• Clean fish well, squeeze a little lemon
juice over the top and season immediately
before cooking.
