USER MANUAL
Please read carefully before using
Important Safety Notes
For your safety, please read and understand
all the instructions before using your pressure
cooker. Keep these instructions for your
future reference.
1. The pressure cooker must be used by a
responsible adult. Use and store it out of
reach of children.
2. Do not leave the pressure cooker unattended
while it’s under pressure. You don’t have
to stand over it, but keep an eye on it.
3. Do not let children near the pressure cooker
when in use. Close supervision is needed
when the pressure cooker is used where there
are children or pets around. Do not allow
children to use the pressure cooker.
4. Do not place the pressure cooker in
a heated oven.
5. Extreme caution must be used when moving
the pressure cooker containing hot liquids
or when it is at pressure. Do not touch hot
surfaces. Use the handles or oven gloves
when handling the pressure cooker.
6. Do not use the pressure cooker for a purpose
other than its intended use. This pressure
cooker is intended for domestic use only
and is not designed for commercial use.
The manufacturer accepts no liability if the
appliance is used for commercial purposes
or in a manner which does not comply with
the instructions in this manual.
7. The pressure cooker heats and cooks food
under pressure. Inappropriate use of the
pressure cooker may result in a scalding
injury. To avoid injury, ensure that the cooker
is closed correctly and securely before
applying heat. See details in the instructions.
8. When the food is at boiling temperature,
and when the pressure is decreasing rapidly,
steam and boiling liquid can escape from the
pressure cooker. Do not position the pressure
cooker and the decompression window
(if any) in close proximity to other people
or yourself so as to prevent injury from
escaping steam.
9. Never force open the pressure cooker until all
the internal pressure has been completely and
safely released. Strictly follow the instructions.
10. Never use your pressure cooker without
adding a liquid that will give off steam when
boiled i.e. water, wine, stock, beer, cider, etc,
or letting it boil dry, as these will cause severe
damage to the pressure cooker. Use at least
300ml (1/2pt) of liquid. This will give you up
to 15 minutes cooking. When cooking for more
than 15 minutes, increase the amount of water
by 150ml (1/4pt) for each additional 15 minute
period or part period.
11. 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 1/3 or half of its capacity
depending on the foodstuffs. See min and
max fill guide in the instructions.
12. Use the appropriate heat source(s)
according to the instructions for use.
Only use the pressure cooker on a heat
source with a stable position.
13. After cooking meat with a skin (e.g. ox tongue)
which may swell under the effect of pressure,
do not prick the skin while the skin is swollen,
you may be scalded by escaping water/steam.
14. When cooking any doughy food, gently shake
the pressure cooker before opening the lid
to avoid food being ejected when you open
it. Don’t cook dumplings in the pressure
cooker with the lid on. The dough will rise
and may block the safety devices. Cook the
food without dumplings for the recommended
time, release the steam, remove the lid, then
add the dumplings and cook them with the lid
on, but not locked and without the pressure
regulator fitted.
15. You may use boilable plastic containers
capable of withstanding 130°C (266°F) with
the pressure cooker. Don’t fit them with lids,
they may blow off as the contents expand.
02
16. Tie down greaseproof or foil coverings or they
may block the safety devices.
17. Before each use, check that the valves and
sealing ring are not obstructed and in good
condition. See the instructions for use.
18. Never use the pressure cooker in its
pressurized mode for deep or shallow
frying of food.
19. Do not tamper with any of the safety systems
beyond the maintenance instructions specified
in the instructions for use.
20. Only use authentic 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.
21. If the pressure cooker functions abnormally i.e.
it has been dropped or show signs of damage,
stop using it.
Keep this manual safely for future use.

1.3. Suitable hob types for cooking
INDUCTION GAS ELECTRIC CERAMIC HALOGEN
The pressure cooker can be used on all types of hob, including gas and electric,
with a power rating of less than 2KW.
When using an electric hob, ensure that the hob has a diameter as close as possible to that
of the cooker. NEVER use a hob that is too large for the cooker base. Also ensure the pressure
cooker is only used on a heat source with a stable position.
When using a gas hob, always ensure that the flames DO NOT encroach upon the sides
of the cooker but remain beneath it. DO NOT place or attempt to heat the pressure cooker
in a heated oven.
Always thoroughly clean and dry the base of the pressure cooker before placing on the hob.
When using your pressure cooker on ceramic style hobs such as halogen, lift and place your
pressure cooker rather than dragging it across the hob surface, to minimise damage to both
your hob and pressure cooker.

Retains more nutrients, vitamins
and minerals. Vegetables retain
their textures and flavour; meats
stay tender, juicy and succulent.
Efcient:
Pressure cookers cook food up
to 70% faster than conventional
cooking techniques, saving you
time and energy bills.
Versatile:
Less washing up is required as
only one cooking pot is used and
the pressure cooker lid eliminates
splashes and boil overs.

2. Using Your Pressure Cooker - Step by Step Guide
2.2. Before the rst use
Before using your pressure cooker for the first time, it is recommended that all labels, packaging
and accessories are removed. Retain the instruction manual. Clean the pressure cooker following
the cleaning instructions in this manual.
The pressure cooker is packed in a closed position. To open the pressure cooker, push the safety
lock/unlock button forward and turn anti-clockwise. Align the round marking on the lid with the
round marking on the lower handle. Lift the lid off the cooker body.
Before washing the pressure cooker, lift out the sealing ring/gasket from under the rim of the lid.
Push the black pressure regulator down and turn it to have the marking directed at the Ø
regulator removal marking, then lift the regulator out. Wash all with a non-abrasive, mild detergent
solution and rinse and dry thoroughly.
Safety check before each use
a. Check the pressure regulator, steam release
vent and indicator valve are free of blockage.
b. Turn the lid over, and check that the pressure
indicator valve moves freely.
c. Remove the gasket/sealing ring, and stretch
it gently in all directions (like an elastic band).
d. Rub the gasket/sealing ring with a little
vegetable oil, to lubricate it, then ret it under
the lid anges.
e. Turn the lid the right way up and ret it on to
the cooker body.
f. Please ensure the gasket/sealing ring and the
pressure regulator are re-tted correctly
and the correct pressure setting is selected.
g. DO NOT use the pressure cooker for pressure
cooking without the sealing ring tted
in place and correctly.

2. Using Your Pressure Cooker - Step by Step Guide
Remove new product smell & pressure testing
Before you start cooking any kind of food, it is
recommended that process below is carried out.
Fill the pressure cooker with 2/3 full with water and
add the freshly squeezed juice of half a lemon and
the lemon skin or a tablespoon of vinegar to the
water to prevent discolouration of the inside
of the pressure cooker.
To t the lid, align the
lid with the round marking on the lower handle.
Rest the lid on the body, and push down, to
compress the gasket/sealing ring. Turn the lid
clockwise until the lid and body handles are
aligned, to engage the lid and body anges.
A click sound should indicate the lid has been
closed correctly.
Fit the pressure regulator and turn the
of the regulator to the 80kPa
handle. Put the pressure cooker on the hob
and set the hob to maximum heat.
If you are using a gas hob, don’t let the ames
lick up the sides of the pressure cooker. You’ll
damage the handles, and you’ll lose control
of the cooking process.
If you are using any other heat source, use a ring
or hotplate with the same diameter as (or slightly
smaller than) the base of the pressure cooker.
As the temperature and pressure inside
the cooker increase:
a. Some steam will start escaping from the
pressure indicator valve, which will soon cease
once the red pressure indicator has risen. The
indicator will rise and stop just below the top of
the lid handle.
b. The pressure inside the cooker body will
continue building up.
c. A few minutes later, excess steam will start
emitting from the air outlet of the pressure
regulator producing a hissing sound, this will
continue until the cooking process is nished.
round marking on the
marking
marking on the
The heating process will take around 10 to 15
minutes for the pressure cooker to come to
pressure and start releasing excess steam,
which shows that the pressure cooker is
functioning normally.
Turn off the hob and allow the pressure cooker
to cool until all the internal pressure has been
completely released and the red indicator valve
has fully retracted. There will be a noticeable
sound when the indicator valve is retracted.
This natural cooling process will take around
5 minutes. Until the indicator is fully retracted,
do not attempt to open the lid.
To nd out if the pressure indicator is fully
retracted, push the lid lock in towards the pressure
regulator. If it won’t move, there is still too much
pressure inside the cooker. Leave it to cool for a
few minutes longer, don’t try to force it. When the
lid lock moves freely, use a cloth or wear oven
gloves to safely lift the pressure indicator off.
Push the lid lock button towards the lid. Turn
the lid handle anticlockwise to open the lid.
Empty the heated water. Rinse and dry.
Your pressure cooker is now ready to use.
If you haven’t added any lemon juice or vinegar,
the base of the pressure cooker may remain
a dark colour after being heated for the rst
time. This is normal and it can be reversed
by repeating the above process.
