IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Take the time to read all the instructions and refer to the "Instructions for use".

•

As with any cooking appliance, supervise cooking closely if using the Pressure Cooker with children nearby.

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

• When the Pressure Cooker is under pressure, take great care when

moving it. Do not touch the hot surfaces. Use the handles and knobs, and wear gloves if necessary. Never use the lid knob to carry your pressure cooker.

• Do not use your Pressure Cooker for any use other than that for

which it is designed.

• Your Pressure Cooker cooks under pressure. Burns could result from

boiling over if not used properly. Make sure that the Pressure Cooker is properly closed before bringing it up to pressure. (see Opening Closing).

• Never force the Pressure Cooker open. Make sure that the inside

pressure has returned to normal.

• Never use your Pressure Cooker without liquid: this could cause

serious damage.

• Use compatible heat sources.

• Do not fill your Pressure Cooker more than 2/3 full. For food that

expands considerably during cooking, such as rice, dehydrated vegetables or compotes, … do not fill the 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.

• When cooking food with a thick texture (chick peas, rhubarb etc.) the

Pressure Cooker should be shaken slightly before opening to ensure that the food does not spurt out.

• Always check that valves are clear before use. (see Cleaning and

Maintenance).

• Do not use the Pressure Cooker to fry under pressure using oil.

• Leave the safety systems alone, except for cleaning and maintenance

in accordance with instructions.

• Use only the appropriate TEFAL spare parts for your model.

Particularly, use only pan and lid TEFAL.

• Do not use your pressure cooker to store acidic or salty food before

and after cooking.

• Make sure the pressure regulator valve is in the steam release

position before opening the lid.

• Alcohol vapours are flammable. Watch your appliance when preparing

alcohol-based recipes.

Keep these instructions

1 - Characteristics

Pressure-cooker bottom diameter - models

Technical information:

Clipso & Clipso Vitamin: maximum operating pressure: 85 kPa (12 psi). Clipso Control: maximum operating pressure: 90 kPa (13 psi). Clipso, Clipso Vitamin & Clipso Control: maximum safety pressure: 160 kPa (23 psi).

Sources of heat

■

Stainless steel models are suitable for all types of

hobs.

■

On an electric stove, use a plate of diameter equal

or lower than that of base of the pressure cooker.

■

On ceramic and halogen hobs, make sure the base of the pot is clean and dry. Never slide the pressure cooker across the hob. Always lift it up and place it down otherwise it could scratch or mark the hob.

■

On a gas stove, the flame should not lick out from around the base of the pressure cooker.

Never heat the pot when empty.

SEB accessories

■

Use only SEB original parts suitable for your model.

2 - Opening - Closing

■

Opening: press button on lid - Fig 1

■

Closing: press button on lid - Fig 2

3 - Fitting and removing the control module

■

To remove it from the lid - Fig 3-4: turn lid upside down. Unscrew the retaining nut of the module, using a coin if necessary.

■

To secure it on the lid - Fig 5: hold the lid straight, the right way up, and place the parts of the module onto the lid so that they will fit into the holes in the lid. Turn the lid over. Tighten the retaining nut, using a coin if necessary.

4 - Smart timer

(for selected models only)

Instructions for use

■

Press + or – key to set the cooking time - Fig 6a

■

When the cooking time is set the timer must be fixed on the module the OK indicator is displayed

- Fig 6b

■

Timer starts as soon as the right pressure level is reached. A short series of beeps informs you when it starts - Fig 7

■

You can now remove the timer from the PressureCooker - Fig 8

■

When the cooking time is over: the timer informs you with continuous beeps. Press either + or – key only once to stop the beeping. The timer automatically stops.

How do you cancel an incorrect entry?

NOTE: The ‘probe’ linked to the smart timer is very sensitive to heat, and if it is still hot when re-used it can start to count down before the red pressure indicator rises up. This can happen if you want to add ingredients part the way through the cooking time or if the food is insufficiently cooked and it needs extra recooking.

■■

Then place the second basket onto the higher

level.

7 - First use

■

Fill the pressure cooker up to 2/3 full with water

(see chapter on Filling).

■

highest temperature.

■

The pressure indicator moves up after a few

minutes - Fig 12

■

When steam starts escaping from the outlet, lower

the heat source and set the timer to 15 min. - Fig 13

■

After 15 min., turn off the heat. Gradually position

10 - End of cooking

■

After the heat has been turned off, you have two

alternatives:

■■

Slow pressure release: gradually turn the pressure selector to the position . This is used for stews, vegetables, joints and fish dishes.

If you notice an unusual release of pressure when opening the cooker, close the lid tightly. Turn the heat off, then slowly open the lid again making sure the pressure has released normally.

■■

Fast pressure release: remove the timer (according to model), place the pressure cooker under a cold tap, directing the flow onto the metal part of the lid. This is used for soups, rice, pasta, milk puddings, egg custards, cake and pudding mixtures, recipes containing rice or pasta and recipes with a high liquid content. If in doubt, use the fast release method.

■

When the pressure indicator is down in the normal position, all pressure has been released from the Pressure-Cooker.

Steam escapes from the steam outlet for a few

seconds: do not put your hand above the outlet.

■

You can then open the Pressure-Cooker.

11 - Cleaning and maintenance

■

Remove the timer (according to model) - Fig 8

■

Wash your cooker after each use.

Dishwasher cleaning

■

You can wash the pot and lid in the dishwasher,

provided the module and the lid seal have been removed. Remove the pot and lid immediately from

the dishwasher to prevent water stains and dulling of the exterior.

Hand cleaning

■

Wash the outside of the pot with warm water and washing up liquid. You can use a scouring pad for cleaning the interior.

■

Remove the seal from the lid and clean it in warm water and washing up liquid.

■

Clean the lid under water with a sponge and washing up liquid.

Re-fitting the seal

■

For a better visibility, this operation must be carried out with the lid in the open position i.e. with the jaws open.

■

To ensure a perfect seal, make sure the seal slips entirely under each tab by pressing and pushing it with your finger towards the edge of the lid - Fig 16

Storing the pressure cooker

■

Turn the lid upside down on the pot and adjust so that it rests in a stable position.

Cleaning the control module

■

Remove the control module from the lid - Fig 3-4

■

Check visually and in plain daylight that the steam outlet is not blocked - Fig 17. If this is the case, clean it using a cotton-bud, then rinse it under water - Fig 18

■

Wash the control module under water - Fig 19

■

Check that the operating valve can move freely

- Fig 20a

■

Check that the safety device can move freely

- Fig 20b

■

Check that the module seals are correctly fitted (parts marked

, M, J in the descriptive diagram). If these seals are missing or are damaged, leaks can occur underneath the module during the pressure cooking operation. The shape of the seals has been specially designed for easy removal and re-fitting. Seals can be purchased from SEB Approved Service Centres.

Cleaning the timer

■

Clean it with a soft, dry cloth.
