For your safety, this appliance conforms with
applicable standards and regulations
(Directives on low voltage, electromagnetic
compatibility, materials in contact with
foodstuffs, environment …)

handicapped persons.

• Do not put your Pressure Cooker into a hot
oven.

• When the Pressure Cooker is under

Pressure Cooker more than half full.

• After cooking meat which has an outer
layer of skin (such as ox tongue), which
could swell due to the effects of pressure,
do not pierce the skin after cooking if it
appears swollen: you could get burnt.
Pierce it before cooking.
