(Fig. 3)
- It also has one position for pressure release and
one position for extracting the valve. (Fig. 4)
Closing the lid on the main body of the pan.
- Align the mark "►" on the lid with the handle of
the body pan.
- Turn clockwise until both handles are in line and
close.
Once you hace finished using the appliance:
- Clean the appliance
Carry handle/s:
This appliance has a handle on the side of the body,
which facilitates comfortable transport (Fig. 5)
OPERATION
1. It is necessary to clean the air release pipe and
safety valve frequently in order to ensure that the
pressure cooker functions normally. Check the air
release pipe and remove accumulated dirt with a
needle or water. Also ensure that the safety valve is
clean and that the O-ring is positioned.
CAUTION: Before every use, check that you can
easily move the safety valve, in order to guaran-
tee safe use of the pressure cooker.
2. Do not use the pressure cooker with less than
0.25 l of water or other liquid. Do not fill the pressure
cooker to more than 2/3 the height of the pan. If you
are preparing foods which expand or form foam, only
fill the pan halfway.
3. To close: Place the lid on the pan. The ▼ marks
on the lid must be aligned with the O mark, located
on the long handle of the pan. Turn the lid clockwise
until you hear a click and then position the handle of
the lid and that of the pan exactly on top of the other
(see Fig. 6).
CAUTION: Also make sure that the closure is in
the correct position. If it is not, move it forwards
(Fig. 7)
4. Set the pressure release selector valve to the
desired position (see Fig.3).
5. To heat:
To cook, place the fast cooker on the hob and turn it
on to maximum strength so that the pressure rises
rapidly. When the internal pressure of the cooker
reaches a certain pressure position, the pressure
release selector valve will automatically expel steam.
Next, lower the heat a little so that the steam is
released evenly and constantly. (Fig. 9)

CAUTION:
• When carrying the pressure cooker, always
grasp it by both handles and never only by the
lid handle or other handle. Carry the cooker
carefully and place it on a hob with a flat, stable
surface.
• Do not heat the pressure cooker without su-
pervision. Always use it carefully. If the pressure
cooker does not function correctly, it must be ad-
justed immediately in order to continue using it.
• Never touch any hot surface, such as the stain-
less steel part. Grasp the cooker by the handles.
• Be careful when moving the cooker while it
is under pressure. If necessary, use gloves to
avoid burns.
• For safety reasons, always respect the filling
quantity indicated in order to prevent the liquids
from evaporating completely and dry cooking, as
well as to prevent the safety mechanisms from
becoming clogged.
6. Turning off the hob
Once the recommended cooking time has elapsed
you must turn off the heat source. When you do this,
the temperature of the cooker will decrease while the
food will continue cooking.
7. Reducing the pressure:
Turn off the hob. Next, let the cooker decompress
until it reaches room temperature. Wait until the safe-
ty valve descends. There are two ways of doing this:
1) Rapid cooling:
To cool the cooker quickly you can press the switch
or rinse the pressure cooker slowly with cold water
until the red safety valve descends. You can then
open the lid in the described manner (Fig.10).
To prevent the food cooking for too long, or if you
wish to open the lid during cooking, the cooker must
be cooled rapidly. Place the cooker on a stable
surface under cold running water. Be careful not to
wet the safety valve directly. The water flow must not
be too strong.
2) Slow cooling
Turn off the hob. Next let the cooker decompress
until it reaches room temperature if you want the
food to continue cooking. Before opening the cooker,
wait until the red safety valve descends. Do not
attempt to open the cooker until the locking pin has
descended.
8. Opening the lid
When the locking pin descends, you can open the lid
by pressing the switch downwards and turning the lid
handle counterclockwise until the "O/▼" marks are
aligned (Fig.11).
CAUTION:
• If you are preparing dishes with a doughy consis-
tency or thick stocks, especially vegetable soups,
