body and lid of the same manufacturer and
check that they are compatible.
- Only use the heat sources permitted in this
instruction manual.
- When cooking meat with skin (e.g., ox ton-
gue), which may swell with the pressure, do
not prick the skin while it is swollen. You may
suffer burns.
WARNINGS
- The pressure cooker generates internal
pressure and the liquids it contains have a
boiling point of below 120ºC. After boiling,
especially when the pressure is reduced
rapidly, a large amount of steam and liquid
will be generated.
- Water condensation may appear on the sur-
faces and objects around this appliance.
- Do not cook apple jam, maize, pulses, algae,
oat flakes or other foods which expand, in
order to avoid blocking the air outlet.
- Do not boil soda water directly. Do not use an
excessive amount of oil or wine.
- Do not use the pressure cooker to roast or fry
foods under pressure.
- Do not open the lid of the cooker when it is
under pressure. Before using it, make sure
that the pressure cooker is correctly closed
for heating.
- Liquids that are salted, alkaline or which
contain sugar or vinegar should not be kept in
the cooker for prolonged periods. Wash and
dry the cooker after use.
SERVICE
- It is recommended to replace the sealing ring
once per year.
- Any misuse or failure to follow the instruc-
tions for use renders the guarantee and the
manufacturer's liability null and void.
FILLING QUANTITY:
- Foods which do not expand, the filling quan-
tity should not exceed 2/3 of the cooker's
volume (Fig. 2b).
- Foods which expand, such as rice or pulses,
it should not exceed 1/3 of the cooker's volu-
me. (Fig. 2c).
PROPIERTIES
- This stainless-steel pressure cooker has
been designed for domestic use. The double
reinforced compound metal bottom gua-
rantees that the heat is evenly transferred.
The cooker is suitable for gas, electric and
vitro-ceramic hobs and induction plates.
- The pressure cooker has a variety of safety
mechanisms:
- Pressure valve: The valve can be set be-
tween 60 kPa. This load valve is stable and
safe.
- Safety valve: When internal pressure is
generated in the pressure cooker, the locking
pin rises. The red pin on the valve indicates
that the cooker is under pressure. In the case
of abnormal pressure or mal- functioning of
the pressure release selector valve, steam is
released through the safety valve. If the lid is
not properly closed, pressure is not genera-
ted in the cooker and steam will be released
constantly between the handles and through
the safety valve. In this case, turn off the
hob and close the lid correctly. Do not open
the pressure cooker until the valve pin has
descended.
- There are various safety mechanisms for re-
ducing the pressure which guarantee that the
pressure cooker functions properly. (Fig. 3)
- While the cooker is at low pressure, the pres-
sure release selector valve cannot be turned
to the"0" position.
The four positions of the arrow (►) co-
rrespond to the following functions:
Position for removing the pressure relea-
se selector valve
Position for releasing air
1 Low pressure position (60 kPa)
2 High pressure position (100 kPa)
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
BEFORE USE
- Read this instruction manual carefully, espe-
cially the safety recommendations.
- Before using the product for the first time,
clean the parts that will come into contact
with food in the manner described in the
cleaning section.
- To eliminate possible odours from manufac-
turing, you can half-fill the cooker with water,
close the lid and heat. Ten minutes after
having decompressed the air in the cooker
using the pressure valve, remove the cooker
from the heat source.
- Once cooled and with the pressure reduced,
you can remove the water and clean and dry
the cooker.
