MORE ECONOMIC
The cooking is done more quickly thereby economising
any kind of energy used in the kitchen.
5 SAFETY SYSTEMS
This pressure cooker has 5 safety systems:
1 and 2.- High security device on opening and closure:
This mechanism located on the "Functioning
handle" is designed to prevent the Pressure Cooker
from being opened when there is pressure inside,
however small this amount may be; in which
case the "Pressure Detector" will be in view and
THE LID CANNOT BE OPENED (Fig. L).
On the contrary, when there is no pressure, it
will be hidden inside the hole of the lid handle
(Fig. M). In this case it can be opened and the
pivot of the "PUSH BUTTON" will drive the
"SEALING GASKET".
If the Pressure Cooker is not closed correctly, the
device will impede pressure from being generated.
Safety during functioning.
3. - Pressure regulating valve.
Maintains the Pressure Cooker working pressure
at all times, allowing the excess steam out (Fig. B).
4. - Pressure and safety detector valve.
Comes into action when there is an increase in
pressure (Fig. C). When this valve functions, it
means the chimney is obstructed. Remove the
Pressure Cooker from the heat and clean it (Fig, 1).
5. - Lid window.
Should the two safety devices become obstruct-
ed during functioning, the lid window allows
the "Sealing gasket" to be removed thereby
expelling all the steam (Fig. D).
Should this occur, take it to a Technical
Assistance Service. It is necessary to check
the previous two systems of "Safety during
functioning".
The "Sealing gasket" is made from special mate-
rials enabling it to act as a safety system. Should
you use any other which is not an original, then
you run the risk of cancelling out this safety
system.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
- Never leave the pressure cooker unattended.
Pay attention to the steam emission through
the control valve.
- For the Pressure Cooker to get pressure it must
always have water. It cannot be used with oil
only.
- Do not make any modifications to the safety
systems nor use fake sealing gaskets which are
not
- If you are cooking pasty food, such as thick
soups, shake the pressure cooker slightly before
opening in order to avoid splashing.
TO CLOSE THE PRESSURE COOKER
Place the lid over the body so that the arrow marked
on the lid coincides with that of the body handle
(Fig. G), thereby fitting the lid onto the body.
Turn the lid clockwise until it reaches the limit (Fig. H)
with the push button in OPEN position. The push
button will automatically move all the way back (Fig.
I), if not do it manually.
The "High security device" prevents the
Pressure Cooker from getting pressure if the lid
has not been correctly closed.
COOKING WITH THE PRESSURE COOKER.
OPERATING PRESSURES.
- Place the Pressure Cooker on the hotplate with the
heat source regulated to maximum.
Now, there are two options:
1. If you wish to use low pressure move the "Pressure
regulating valve" to position 1. This will enable you
to soften food, finish a meat stew, etc.
2. If you wish to use high pressure, and therefore high
temperatures and a shorter cooking time (super-
rapid cooking), move the "Pressure regulating valve
" to position 2 (Fig. I).
In both cases, after a certain time, you will
notice small amounts of steam coming out
through the "Pressure detector", which is
necessary to expel the air from inside the
Pressure Cooker. These will shortly disappear,
once the aforementioned device comes up and
closes off the steam outlet. This is when the
Pressure Cooker begins to have pressure.
The cooking times are calculated from the
moment steam starts to come out of the
"Pressure regulating valve" orifice, when this is
in position 2.
At this time heat intensity should be reduced
sufficiently to allow a small outlet of steam
through the "Pressure regulating valve".
During cooking it is NORMAL to notice small steam
losses through the safety valves.
If gas is used for cooking, the flame must be controlled
right from the start, preventing it from standing out the
bottom. The Pressure Cooker must be centred over the
heat source. This way energy will be saved and the
"Handles" and "Sealing gasket" will be protected against
deterioration.
