FISSLER MAGIC COMFORT / INTENSA
1. Safety instruction
• Before using the pressure cooker for the first
time, carefully read the user instructions. Do not
permit persons who are not familiar with the
user instructions to use the pressure cooker.
When giving the cooker to another person,
always include the user instructions.
• Keep children away from the pressure cooker
when it is being used.
• Do not use the pressure cooker for any other
purposes than those stated in the user instructions.
• Never place the pressure cooker and pressure
skillets in the oven, as this would destroy the
plastic and rubber parts and safety mechanisms.
• When used for deep-frying, fill the pressure
cooker only halfway with oil, and do not cover
it with a lid (see chapter 7).
• Only use the pressure cooker with the heat
sources described in this user manual (see chapter 2).
• Pressure cookers may not be used for medical
purposes, such as sterilisation, as they are not
designed to reach temperature levels required
for sterilisation.
• Every time you use the pressure cooker, inspect
the safety mechanisms to ensure that they are
not damaged or dirty (see chapter 7).
• Do not in any way alter or interfere with the
safety mechanisms, except to carry out maintenance tasks described in the instructions for use.
Do not repair or oil the valves! Use only original
Fissler replacement parts that fit your cooker
model (see chapter 11) to ensure that it will function properly and safely.
• Replace wear parts such as the rubber gasket,
the silicone membrane, the valve base seal, the
O-ring of the Euromatic and the O-ring of the lid
screw approx. every 400 cooking cycles, or latest after two years. Use only original Fissler
replacement parts. Parts that show visible damage (cracks, deformation) or discoloration, or
that have become brittle must be replaced without delay. Non-compliance can seriously compromise the performance and safety of the
cooker.
• Never install parts from other manufacturers in
your Fissler pressure cooker.
• Ensure that you only use your Fissler pressure
cooker with the Fissler pressure cooker lid of
the same model.
• Never heat up you pressure cooker without
adding liquid, as this could result in damage to
the cooker or the hob from overheating. In certain extreme cases of overheating, the aluminium in the base may melt and liquefy. In the
event of such overheating, never remove the
cooker from the hob: otherwise, there is a risk
of burns caused by hot aluminium spillage.
Switch off the hob and allow the pressure
cooker to cool down. Ventilate the room.
• Adhere strictly to the following filling instructions:
Minimum:
1
/4 litre of liquid (2 cups)
Maximum:
2
/3 of cooker volume.
For food that tends to froth or swell (e.g. rice,
legumes, broths or dried vegetables): max.
1
/
2 of
cooker volume. Use the fill level indicator inside
the cooker and observe the additional instructions in chapter 7.
• The cooker should never be heated at the highest hob setting, either empty or with fat, for
Page 5
21
FISSLER MAGIC COMFORT / INTENSA
more than 2 minutes. If it is overheated, the base
may become discoloured to a golden shade. This
discolouration however does not affect its performance.
• Special instructions for use with induction hobs:
In order to prevent the overheating and consequent damage to the cooker, due to the high performance offered by induction hobs, always
observe the cooker while it is heated up. Never
heat it up when empty or at the highest setting,
and adhere to the instructions for use issued by
the hob manufacturer (see chapter 8).
• Pressure cookers are under pressure when in
use. Non-compliance with the instructions can
result in serious injury from burns and scalding.
Always ensure that the cooker is properly closed
before it is heated up (see chapter 7). Never use
your pressure cooker when the lid is not firmly
closed!
• Watch the pressure cooker while cooking, and
observe the position of the pressure indicator.
Adjust the heat so that the pressure indicator
does not rise above the desired mark. If the
energy input is not reduced, steam escapes
through the valve, preventing excess overpressure. This might affect the cooking times, and
can result in all liquid evaporating, so that the
cooker and hob might become damaged.
• When the cooker is under pressure, move it
carefully. Do not touch the hot outer surfaces of
the pressure cooker, as this could result in burns
and scalding! Handle the cooker only by its handles. If necessary, use oven mittens.
• Before opening the pressure cooker, shake it.
This prevents pockets of steam from forming in
the cooked food, which might result in spattering
and injury from scalding. Never cook apple
sauce or stewed fruit in the pressure cooker.
• Never open the pressure cooker using force.
Before opening the cooker, ensure that all pressure has been released from the cooker. Adhere
to the instructions for opening the cooker (see
chapter 8).
• Always keep your hands, head and body clear of
the danger zone of the cooker! Proceed with particular caution when depressurising the cooker
by means of the safety slide.
• If you have cooked meat (e.g. tongue) or a
sausage with skin in the cooker, there is a risk of
a pressure build-up under the skin. Do not
pierce the skin as long as it is swollen, as you
could otherwise scald yourself!
• If the pressure cooker or any of its parts is damaged or does not function as described in the
instructions for use, do not use it. Contact your
Fissler dealer or call the Fissler Customer Service (telephone: +49 (0) 6781 403 556).
• Please feel free to contact your Fissler dealer or
the Fissler Customer Service, if you have any
question in relation to these instructions for use.
Our partners and employees will be delighted to
assist you in all matters concerning your pressure cooker.
• Keep these instructions for use in a safe place for
future reference.

3. The safety systems of the
Magic Comfort and Intensa
pressure cookers
• Automatic control valve:
1. with cooking setting selection
2. with pressure limitation function: if the pressure exceeds the selected cooking setting pressure, the control valve automatically opens to
release steam (at max. 1.5 bar).
• Fissler Euromatic:
1. for the automatic depressurisation of the
cooker
2. as residual pressure block: when the safety
slide is under pressure, it is blocked by the
valve gate and the pressure cooker cannot be
opened. The cooker can only be opened when
all pressure has been released.
3. with safety function if the lid has not been
properly closed: the valve ensures that the
opening in the lid is not sealed, so that no pressure can be built up.
4. with pressure limitation function: in the event
of a defect in the safety valve of the main control valve, the Euromatic is automatically
opened to release the pressure.
• Pressure indicator with marks for Gentle Setting
I and Speed Setting II
• Rubber gasket
• Safety slide in the lid handle (in conjunction with
the Euromatic):
1. to release the pressure by releasing steam
2. to unlock the lid so that it can be opened.
• Bayonet locking system: ensures secure closure
under pressure
• Reach-through safety handle for safe handling
4. Main features of your pressure cooker
The Magic Comfort or Intensa pressure cooker
makes perfect cooking results easy. Thanks to the
high temperatures that are reached in pressure
cookers, food is cooked more quickly, while valuable vitamins and minerals are preserved. You
save up to 70% of the usual cooking time, and up
to 50% of energy.
The markings on the safety slide ensure simple
handling of the pressure cooker: To cook with
pressure, set the safely slide to the “closed”
position. Only in this position can pressure build
up. For conventional cooking, set the safety slide
to the “open” position.
During the heating-up process, the Fissler
Euromatic system ensures that the air is expelled
from the pressure cooker. This means that the
oxygen in the air, which is responsible for the
destruction of vitamins and flavours during the
cooking process is not present in the cooker.
If vegetables are cooked in the perforated inset,
they are not immersed in water but cooked by
steam, so that most water-soluble vitamins are
preserved.
Control valve: allows for the selection of the cooking setting (Gentle Setting I or Speed Setting II).
At Gentle Setting I for vegetables and other delicate food, the temperature does not exceed
approx. 109 °C (0.4 bar). At Speed Setting II used
for stews and meat dishes, the maximum temperature is approx. 116 °C (0.8 bar). If the operating
pressure of the chosen setting is exceeded, steam is
released as soon as a pressure of 1.5 bar is
reached.
Page 8
24
FISSLER MAGIC COMFORT / INTENSA
To make it easier to use your pressure cooker, an
Infobox with CookCards is found in the lid handle.
The cooking times are shown on the pressure
cooker itself, so that you are always certain of the
time you will need to cook a specific food. The symbols inside the pot show you the minimum volume,
as well as the maximum volume for normal and
frothing food.
It is also easy to clean the control valve after use.
The lid handle with the easy-care safety valve and
pressure indicator can be easily removed and
rinsed under running water.
5. How the pressure cooker
works
Steam is generated in the sealed cooker, which must
always contain a certain amount of liquid. The air
in the cooker is thereby automatically expelled
through the Fissler Euromatic valve. Overpressure
is built up in the cooker, the temperature increases
and the pressure indicator rises. At this point, you
must reduce the energy input.
When the desired cooking setting is reached, the
cooking time begins. The pressure indicator shows
the current pressure level in the cooker.
After the cooing time has elapsed, the pressure
cooker must be depressurised completely (see
chapter 8). Only when fully depressurised can the
pressure cooker be opened.
6. Before initial use
Wash the cooker and lid thoroughly using a conventional detergent. Fill the cooker halfway with
water, add a squirt of lemon juice and boil at Speed
Setting II as described in the instructions for use.
Page 9
25
FISSLER MAGIC COMFORT / INTENSA
7. Basic handling of the cooker
Opening the cooker
See figure C
• Push the safety slide sideways to the left to the
“open” mark.
See figure D
• Then turn the lid anticlockwise (in the opposite
direction to that shown by the arrow) as far as
possible, with one hand on the lid handle and the
other on the side handle. The circle on the lid
and the red dot on the side handle must be lined
up. Now you can lift the lid.
See figure E
•You can also grasp the lid with both hands near
the side handles. This is especially practical for
left-handed cooks.
Before each use
See figure F
Check to see that the pressure indicator can move
freely, by gently pushing it upward. If it springs
back easily, it will function properly.
See figure G
Check the Fissler Euromatic (a) to ensure that it is
not blocked or stuck. To do this, gently shake the
Euromatic. Check whether the rubber gasket (b)
is properly secured in the lid.
See figure H
Remove the lid handle and check to see that the
body of the valve can move freely, by gently push-
ing it upward. If it springs back easily, it will function properly.
Cooking methods for which the pressure cooker
and pressure skillet can be used
Pressure cookers can be used for almost any
method of cooking:
boiling, braising, steaming and browning.
When using the cooker with the lid closed, ensure
that the maximum filling level is not exceeded.
The fill level indicator on the inside of the cooker
indicates the required liquid level.
See figure I
Maximum filling level:
The maximum filling level for common food is
2
/3 of
the cooker's capacity (top mark).
For food that tend to swell or froth (e.g. legumes,
rice, noodles, broth and dried vegetables), do not
exceed the lower mark, so that the cooker is not
more than half full.
Minimum fill level:
The “min.” symbol shows you the minimum
amount of liquid (2 cups or 1/4 litre) which must be
in the cooker when cooking with or without the
inset.
Page 10
26
FISSLER MAGIC COMFORT / INTENSA
Cooking without inset
Preparing meat
See figure J
Browning with or without fat:
1. Without adding fat, heat up your open pot at a
medium setting (
2
/3 of the maximum setting).
2. Wait for approx. 3 to 4 minutes.
3. Sprinkle a few drops of cold water onto the bottom of the cooker. If they remain in droplet
shape and “dance” around on the pot base, the
browning temperature is reached.
4. If required, add some fat.
5. Place the unsalted meat into the cooker and
press it against the base. If the meat sticks to
the stainless steel surface, do not try to remove
it. After about 2 minutes, it will have become
unstuck again.
6. Turn the meat over (see step 5) and season the
sealed side of the piece as required.
7. Add the other ingredients you wish to cook
together with the browned meat.
8. Add liquid as prescribed in the recipe. In all
cases, ensure that there are at least 2 cups of
liquid (
1
/4 litre) in the cooker.
9. Close the lid. (see chapter 7).
10. Set the hob to the highest temperature.
If you have cooked meat (e.g. tongue) or a sausage
with skin in the cooker, there is a risk of a pressure
build-up under the skin. Do not pierce the skin as
long as it is swollen, as you could otherwise scald
yourself!
Preparation of soups and stews
Soups and stews must always be cooked without
inset. Fill the cooker to maximum 2/3 of its capacity.
When preparing food that tend to froth or swell, fill
the cooker only to 1/2 of its capacity. To prepare
soups, first bring the ingredients to the boil in the
open cooker, skim off the froth and then close the
cooker.
Never use the pressure cooker for apple sauce or
stewed fruit, as there is a serious risk of scalding!
Caution:
Always add sufficient liquid to the pressure
cooker, so that there is no risk that all liquid is
evaporated. This helps keep your cooker clean.
Under all circumstances avoid “cooking dry” of
the pot, as this could result in damage caused by
overheating (melting of base or damage to the
safety mechanisms). If the pressure cooker is
overheated, do not lift it from the cooking plate.
Shut down the hob and let the cooker cool down
on the plate. Have the pressure cooker checked
by the Fissler Customer Service before using it
again.

FISSLER MAGIC COMFORT / INTENSA
Preparing food in the perforated inset
The perforated inset is used with our without the
tripod for the preparation of vegetables, fish and
other delicate food.
See figure K
Preparation of vegetables and potatoes
• Pour liquid into the pressure cooker up to the
min symbol (equals 2 cups or a good 1/4 litre). If
desired, add herbs, seasonings or wine.
• Place the washed and sliced vegetables into the
perforated inset and place the inset onto the tripod in the cooker.
• Close the lid.
• Set the hob to the highest temperature.
Preparing fish
Place the fish on the bottom of the cooker, add the
required amount of liquid and let it cook in its own
juices. Alternatively, place the fish onto the perforated inset and steam it.
Preparing food in the unperforated inset
Please note that the unperforated inset may only be
used together with the tripod (or with the perforated inset).
Note: Steamer kits can be purchased separately.
Deep-frying in pressure cooker
For deep-frying in the pressure cooker, use the pot
without lid and fill it to maximum halfway with oil,
in order to prevent injury from spilling or frothing
oil. Please ensure that the oil is not overheated.
Conventional cooking (without pressure)
Once the cooker is closed, make sure that the safety
slide is in the “open” position. No steam will be
formed, and the pressure indicator will not rise. It
is normal for steam to escape from under the lid
handle.
Closing the cooker
See figure L
Put on the lid so that the circular mark on the lid
and the red mark on the side handle are lined up.
The safety slide must be at the “open” position.
See figure M
To close the cooker, turn the lid in the direction of
the arrow (clockwise) to the stop, with one hand on
the lid handle and the other on the side handle.
See figure N
You can also grasp the lid with both hands near the
side handles to close it. This is especially practical
for left-handed cooks.
See figure O
The lid handle and side handle are now aligned.
The lid rests firmly on the pot. Now you can select
pressure cooking at the Gentle Setting or the Speed
Setting, or conventional cooking.
See figure P
For pressure cooking, move the safety slide anticlockwise until it clicks into place. The cooker is
now locked, and the safety slide is in the “closed”
position.
Page 12
28
FISSLER MAGIC COMFORT / INTENSA
Selecting the cooking setting
For pressure cooking, select the desired cooking
setting on the 2-level valve.
Just turn the knob on the control valve until it
points to the desired cooking setting.
See figure R
• At Gentle Setting I, the food is cooked gently;
this setting is thus particularly suitable for delicate food such as vegetables and fish.
See figure S
• At Speed Setting II, food is cooked quickly; this
setting is suitable for food that require long
cooking times, such as soups, meat and stews.
8. The cooking process in the
pressure cooker
Begin of the cooking process
Place the pressure cooker on a matching cooking
plate:
Solid cooking plates/glass ceramic cooking zones
(radiation/halogen):
The hob plate should correspond to, or be smaller
than, the diameter of the pot base.
Gas hob:
Centre the cooker on the ring, and ensure that the
flames do not extend beyond the pot base.
Induction hobs:
Centre the cooker on the plate. The diameter of the
pot base should ideally correspond to the size of the
cooking plate, or be slightly larger, as there is otherwise a risk that the plate is not switched on.
When the cooker is in operation, there might be
a slight humming noise. This noise is due to technical reasons and does not indicate a defect or
fault in your equipment.
Always begin the cooking process by setting the
plate to the highest level. For induction hobs,
select the higher medium level. When using the
cooker on a gas hob, ensure that the flames do
not extend beyond the edge of the pot base.
After the cooking process has been started, the
temperature in the cooker rises and steam is generated. The oxygen, which is responsible for the
destruction of vitamins in food, rises with the
steam to the lid of the cooker. This process might
take several minutes. The Fissler Euromatic valve
closes automatically. Shortly afterwards, the pres-
Page 13
29
FISSLER MAGIC COMFORT / INTENSA
sure indicator begins to rise and the first white
ring becomes visible.
Turn down the heat
• If you want to cook at Gentle Setting I (1st ring),
turn down the heat on your stove shortly before
the first white ring becomes visible. The first
white ring must remain visible during the entire
cooking process.
• If you want to cook at Speed Setting II (2nd
ring), turn down the heat just when the first
white ring has become completely visible. The
second ring must remain visible during the
entire cooking process.
If the pressure indicator continues to rise beyond
the first and second ring (depending on the selected
setting), and if the cooker makes a hissing noise,
steam is escaping at the main control valve. This
means that the heat input is too high and must be
reduced, as there is otherwise a risk that all liquid
will evaporate from the cooker.
Begin of the cooking time
When the pressure indicator has reached the
desired cooking setting, the cooking time begins.
Cooking times can be found in the Infobox or tables
(see chapter 12). The cooking times indicated in the
table are only guide values, as the actual times
depend on the quality and the size of the items to be
cooked, as well as on personal taste. We recommend using a kitchen timer, such as the Fissler
magic timer.
End of the cooking time
When the cooking time has elapsed, remove the
pressure cooker from the plate and release the
pressure.
This can be done in three different ways:
1. Cool the cooker under running cold water
See figure T
Hold the cooker under the water tap and run cold
water over the lid until the indicator has fallen
back into its socket. Ensure that the water does not
reach the lid handle. Do not place the cooker in
cold water.
Shake the cooker, and then move the safety slide
toward the “open” position.
If there is still steam escaping, close the safety
slide again and hold the pot under cold running
water for another shot while. Repeat these steps
until there is no steam escaping the safety slide
can be easily moved to the “open” position.
Then open the cooker.
Caution:
Never open the cooker with force. It may only
be opened if the pressure indicator has fallen
back into its socket completely, no more steam
is escaping, and the safety slide can be easily
moved to the “open” end position. Before
opening the cooker, always shake it. This
ensures that any steam pockets will be
destroyed, preventing spattering of the cooked
food when the lid is removed from the pot,
which can lead to injury from scalding.

FISSLER MAGIC COMFORT / INTENSA
2. Release the steam
See figure U
You can use the safety slide to release steam. To do
so, move the safety slide to the left to the “open”
position. Steam will stream out to the side from
under the lid handle and over the lid. When there
is no more steam escaping, close the safety slide and
shake the cooker. Then move the safety slide to the
left to the “open” position, so that the remaining steam can escape. Repeat these steps until no
there is no steam escaping and the safety slide can
be easily moved to the “open” position . Then
open the cooker.
3. Set the cooker aside and let cool
With this method, it takes quite a while for the temperature to be sufficiently reduced. It should thus
not be used for food that are prepared with short
cooking times such as fish or vegetables. For other
food, such as pea soup, etc., it is not that important
whether it is cooked a little longer.
When the pressure indicator is no longer visible,
shake the cooker gently, then move the safety slide
to the left to the “open” position. When there is
no more steam escaping, close the safety slide and
shake the cooker. Then move the safety slide to the
left to the “open” position, so that the remaining steam can escape. Repeat these steps until there
is no steam escaping and the safety slide can be easily moved to the “open” position. Then open the
cooker.
Opening the cooker during cooking
If you wish to open the cooker during cooking, you
must first release the pressure as described above.
Please note that the lid is hot! Proceed with special
care when opening and closing the lid. Only touch
the side and lid handles, to avoid burning yourself.
When the cooker is opened during cooking, the
cooking process is obviously interrupted. Adjust
the overall cooking time accordingly.
Caution:
Do not depressurise the cooker with the steam
release method, if it contains soup, legumes,
stews, tongue or similar food, which tends to
swell or froth. Never cook apple sauce or stewed
fruit in the pressure cooker as there is a serious
risk of scalding!

9. Care instructions
Clean the pressure cooker after each use. Do not
allow food residues to dry, as they could cause
stains and alter the surface.
Do not store food in the cooker, as this could lead to
corrosion spots on the cooker base.
The pot and lid (without the lid handle) can be
washed by hand in the usual way or placed in the
dishwasher. Do not place the gasket or entire lid
handle including the Infobox in the dishwasher, as
they might be damaged by the dishwasher detergent.
If a cooker with plastic handles is placed in the
dishwasher, the handle will discolour over time.
This however does not affect its safety.
To remove water stains and polish your pressure
cooker to a new sheen, use Fissler Stainless Steel
Care. Never clean the cooker with steel wool or
abrasive scouring powders or liquids.
Cleaning the lid handle
See figure V
After every use:
Remove the CookCards. Loosen the screw on the
inside of the lid.
See figure W
Once the lid handle has been removed, it can be
rinsed under running water.
See figure H
While the lid handle is off, check the control valve
by gently trying to push it upwards. If it springs
back, it will function properly.
See figures X&Y
After washing, set the safety slide to the “closed”
position. Nest the lid in the lid handle, and
tighten the lid screw firmly. Before closing the
cooker, set the safety slide again to the “open”
position.
Rinse the Euromatic valve (safety valve) under the
tap to remove any food residue. This part does not
have to be disassembled for cleaning.
Proper storage for prolonged service life
The rubber gasket will last longer, if you place the
lid upside down onto the pot.
Note
Wear parts such as the rubber gasket, the silicone membrane, the valve base seal, the O-ring
of the Euromatic and the O-ring of the lid
screw have a limited service life and must be
replaced with original Fissler replacement
parts after approx. 400 cooking cycles, or latest every 2 years. If any of these parts shows
any damage (e.g. cracks, deformation), discolouration or increased brittleness, replace it
without delay with an original Fissler replacement part. Non-compliance can seriously compromise the performance and safety of the
cooker.
