COOKING IN "PRESSURE
COOKER" MODE
Turn the operating valve (A) to the "pressure cooker" cooking position
- Fig
9. The pressure cooker operates at 65kPa/9 lbs (psi).
Make sure that your pressure cooker is closed properly before use
Place your pressure cooker on a suitable heat source, then set it to maximum
power.
The clicking sounds and jets of steam emitted by the pressure indicator are
normal, as they allow air to escape before cooking.
WHEN COOKING IN "PRESSURE COOKER" MODE
When the operating valve (A) continuously releases steam that emits a
steady sound (PSCHHHT), reduce the heat.
Then start counting down the cooking time indicated in the recipe.
Make sure that the valve 'whispers' regularly during the cooking process.
If not enough steam is released, increase the heat slightly. If there is too much
steam, reduce it.
END OF COOKING IN "PRESSURE COOKER" MODE
To release the steam:
Once the heat has been turned o , you have two options:
•
Gradual pressure release: gradually turn the operating valve (A) so that it
faces the symbol on the pictogram
If, when releasing the steam, you observe any food or liquid start to spray out,
return the operating valve (A) to the "pressure cooker" cooking position
then perform a rapid pressure release in cold water.
If the pressure indicator (D) does not go down, run cold water in your sink and
immerse the bottom of your pressure cooker in it until the pressure indicator
(D) goes down.
