Cooking with the pressure cooker
This pressure cooker offers you many
advantages:
The adjustable pressure-regulation valve.
Instructions in recipes and cooking time tables can only ever
be guidelines. This is why we have developed a adjustable
pressure-regulation valve which you can set in two positions
between 1 and 2. This has the advantage that, according
to size or amount of the food to be cooked, you can set the
pressure individually in the cooker using the valve.
Please consult the cooking times table at the end of this
instruction booklet for basic settings.
You will cook more healthily.
Your food will be prepared especially gently by cooking it for
a shorter time and in the oxygen-free steam. Every minute
you save means a saving of important vitamins, nutrients
and minerals.
Your cooking will taste better. By cooking without
oxygen, the avour and natural colouring of your
vegetables will to a very large extent be preserved.
You will cook more quickly, and save time and energy
Using this pressure cooker you will save up to 70% of the
time you have previously spent on cooking. In addition,
you will save energy, up to 60 % on dishes with a longer
cooking time and between 30 % and 40 % on dishes with
shorter cooking times.
To a large extent, cooking smells and cooking
vapours will now disappear. Look after your pressure
cooker well, and you will enjoy your pressure cooker
for a long, long time.
So please read these Instructions for Use carefully
and completely.
To guarantee both its safety and long service, this pressure
cooker is manufactured to extremely high standards, and
only the best materials are used. We hope you will obtain
plenty of enjoyment from its use.

The safety valve, which also acts as a pressure indicator:
While pressure in the cooker is building up, the RED pressure indicator is visible and the cooker is locked (never
attempt to open it using force).
If the pressure indicator is not visible, the cooker is no longer
under pressure. It can then be opened. If for any unexpected
reason the pressure regulator valve does not release steam
as it should, this valve will open in accordance with the
prescribed instructions.
The safety window:
An additional safety element is the safety window in the top
of the lid. If there is excessive pressure in the cooker, the
sealing ring forces its way out through this window, and the
steam can escape.
Filler markings /qt scale:
Shows details of minimum and maximum filling, also contents in qt. An important scale; never cook without liquid,
and never cook more than 2/3-full.
