Before cooking
Before each use, remove the operating valve (A)
steam release valve (B) is not blocked
Check that the safety valve bearing is mobile (see sections "Cleaning" and
"Compulsory checks before each use")

each of the grooves on the lid.
Position the operating valve (A)
Cooking with
"Pressure Cooking"
Turn the operating valve (A) to the cooking with "Pressure Cooking" position
- fig
9. The pressure cooker operates at 65kPa / 9 lbs (psi).
Make sure your pressure cooker is properly closed before use
Place your pressure cooker on a heat source then set to maximum power.
For models equipped with a timer*: program the cooking time indicated in
the recipe (see section "Using the timer").
A clicking noise and steam emitted from the pressure indicator are normal
when bringing the cooker up to pressure, as the air escapes before cooking.
During cooking with "Pressure Cooking"
When the operating valve (A) is constantly emitting steam and making a
regular sound (PSCHHHT), lower the heat source.
Select the cooking time indicated in the recipe.
During cooking, check that the valve murmurs regularly. If there is not
enough steam being released, increase the heat source slightly; if there is
too much steam, reduce it.
End of cooking with "Pressure Cooking"
To release the steam:
When the heat source has been turned off, you have two options:
•
Gradual pressure release:
This is used for stews, vegetables, meat joints and fish dishes.
Gradually turn the operating valve (A), adjusting the speed that the pressure
is released by how far you open the valve, until the steam release symbol
is is opposite the positioning mark (C) (see diagrams on page 12).
When the pressure indicator (D) drops down, your pressure cooker is no
longer under pressure.
