IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
a) Read all the instructions.
b) Do not let children near the pressure cooker when in use.
c) Do not put the pressure cooker into a heated oven.
d) Move the pressure cooker under pressure with the greatest care. Do not touch hot surfaces.
Use the handles and knobs. If necessary, use protection.
e) Do not use the pressure cooker for a purpose other than the one for which it is intended.
f) This appliance cooks under pressure. Scalds may result from inappropriate use of the pressure
cooker. Make sure that the cooker is properly closed before applying heat. see "Instructions for use".
g) Never force open the pressure cooker. Do not open before making sure that its internal pressure
has completely dropped. see the "Instructions for use".
h) Never use your pressure cooker without adding water, this would seriously damage it.
i) Do not fill the cooker beyond 2/3 of its capacity. When cooking foodstuffs which expand during
cooking, such as rice or dehydrated vegetables, do not fill the cooker to more than half of its
capacity.
j) Use the appropriate heat source(s) according to the instructions for use.
k) After cooking meat with a skin (e.g. ox tongue) which may swell under the effect of pressure,
do not prick the meat while the skin is swollen; you might be scalded.
l) When cooking doughy food, gently shake the cooker before opening the lid to avoid food
ejection.
m) Before each use, check that the valves are not obstructed. See the Instructions for use.
n) Never use the pressure cooker in its pressurized mode for deep or shallow frying of food.
o) Do not tamper with any of the safety systems beyond the maintenance instructions specified in
the instructions for use.
p) Only use manufacturer's spare parts in accordance with the relevant model. In particular, use a
body and a lid from the same manufacturer indicated as being compatible

INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR SAFETY
Keep out of the reach of the children.
Don't touch the hot surface with bare hands, while operating and immadiately after.
For household use only, not for Professional one.
THREE CONTROL SYSTEM
The three pressure control devices guarentee maximum safety in all conditions.
1."Pressure indicator" device that prevents the lid from being opened
when there is a minimum pressure inside the cooker.
2. Breather valve: it constantly discharges surplus steam regularly to
prevent the pressure from increasing.
3. Safety valve: thermo-mechanical, re-settable system that guarantees
maximum reliability.

OPENING:
KEEP THE LEVER UPWARD, INCLINE THE LID DOWNWARD AND
TAKE IT OUT.
CAPACITY:
THE PRESSURE COOKER CAN BE FILLED UP TO 2/3 OF ITS

START GOING OUT.
WHEN STEAM HAS STARTED GOING OUT:
CHANGE THE VALVE FROM VERTICAL TO HORIZONTAL POSITION
AND REDUCE THE TEMPERATURE.
THE COOKING TIME HAS TO BE CONSIDERED FROM NOW ON.
DURING COOKING:
CHECK IF THE DISCHARGE VALVE IS CORRECTLY WORKING AND
