GOLDEN RULES OF COOKING WITH YOUR COOK4ME +
• Always use plastic or wooden utensils to avoid damaging the non-stick coating of the cooking bowl. Never cut food in the bowl.
Liquid quantities
• Programs that cook under pressure – quick cooking, ingredients menu and recipes menu – always require some liquid. See the cooking guides on pages 31-32 for advice on the quantity of liquid to use or follow the instructions on the Cook4me + display screen.
• Always use a liquid that gives off steam when boiled e.g. water, stock, wine, beer, cider, etc. Never use oil or fat. Do not used milk as it can froth up under pressure.
• When steaming foods in the basket always use a minimum of 200 ml of water in the Cook4me +.
Maximum Filling level
cooking, such as stewed apple. Instead steam some fruits, such as apple, in the steaming basket instead.
• Never cook dumplings in the Cook4me + under pressure, as they could rise up and block the safety devices.
Cooking times
• The cooking times programmed into the Cook4me + are only a guide and can be adjusted to your personal taste by manually adjusting the advised cooking time.
• For the programs that cook under pressure – quick cooking, ingredients menu and recipes menu – the pressure cooking time will vary according to the size of the individual pieces or thickness of the food, not the weight.
• To prevent overcooking with delicate foods such as vegetables, fruit and fish the suggested cooking times may need slight adjustment for your personal taste.
• The ingredients plus liquid must not exceed the maximum filling level.
• Some foods such as rice and pulses (e.g. dried beans and dried peas) swell up and tend to froth during cooking and the bowl should not be more than half full with these ingredients and liquid.
Foods which require special care when cooking in Cook4me +
• See the point above about cooking rice & pulses.
• Take care when cooking fruit which froths during pressure
Cook4me + Meat & Chicken Cooking Tips
• Choose meat joints of an even shape and thickness to ensure they cook evenly. Boneless joints which are tied into an even cylindrical shape are ideal.
• The maximum recommended weight for meat joints is 1 kg.
• The maximum recommended weight for a whole chicken is 1.5 kg.
• Choose pieces of meat, such as chops, cubed meat for stews, of the same size and thickness to ensure they cook evenly.
• Before browning meat joints dry the outside with kitchen
thickening granules into the boiling hot dish or liquid until
paper towel if it is moist on the outside. This helps reduce spitting during browning,
• Use about ½ – 1 tablespoon sunflower or vegetable oil when browning joints of meat.
• During browning, turn joints or meat using a spatula so it browns on all sides. Take care as hot oil may spit from the bowl. For pieces of meat, e.g. chops, or chicken, e.g. drumsticks, brown in batches, if necessary.
• After browning, take care when adding liquid to the hot bowl as it may spit or give off hot steam.
• Meat or joints with a layer of fat on the outside, such as chops
or pork joints, will not turn crisp when cooked in the Cook4me +.
Adapting your own recipes for use in Cook4me +
• For the programs that cook under pressure – quick cooking and ingredients menu – reduce the liquid quantity when
all the granules dissolve and the liquid thickens. Alternatively, blend cornflour with a little cold liquid to form a smooth paste (see packet instructions for advice on quantities); stir into the hot dish and then bring to the boil in a separate saucepan.
• To remove any unpleasant odours left in the Cook4me+
after cooking strong foods, such as fish or curry, clean the
appliance afterwards including dismantling the metal
plate and cleaning all safety parts. Reassemble and leave
the lid open for a few hours.
About the recipe program
• The cooking times in the recipes are approximate and
may need adjustment to suit your personal taste.
• Eggs used in the recipes are medium size unless stated
otherwise.
adapting a conventional recipe as there is less evaporation in Cook4me +.
• The cooking time will be shorter than in a conventional oven or on the hob. Find a similar recipe in the Recipe Menu as a guide to the cooking time.
• Recipes are best thickened after cooking using Instant Thickening Granules available in larger supermarkets and are usually sold in the aisle near to cornflour. Just stir the
• All spoon measures are level unless stated otherwise.
• The weight stated in the recipes are for the prepared weight of the food, for example, 100 g sliced carrots is the weight of carrots after peeling and trimming off the top and bottom.
• The recipes have been specifically developed for use in Cook4me +. If the recipes are prepared in an appliance other than this, the results and cooking times may vary.
41
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Note: To ensure the correct operation of your Cook4me +, follow these cleaning and maintenance instructions after each use.
Once you have finished cooking your dish, disconnect the appliance to clean. Clean the appliance after each use.
You can wash the cooking bowl and steam basket in hot water and washing up liquid or in the dishwasher. Clean the body of the appliance using a damp cloth. After several washes in the dishwasher, the exterior of the bowl may become discoloured.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
After each use, remove the condensation collector and wash carefully in soapy water or in the dishwasher. Take care to dry it well. Return to its original position.
21
3
To clean the metal plate, by hand or in the dishwasher, you need to remove the valve cover.
1
Unscrew the screw at the centre of
the metal plate and keep it in a safe place
CLEANING IN THE DISHWASHER:
You can place the metal plate in the dishwasher, without removing the valves. After placing in the dishwasher, remove the decompression ball and blow in the pipe to check that it is not blocked. Dry the ball and its support carefully using a soft cloth.
CLEANING BY HAND:
You can clean the metal plate using washing up liquid and hot water. Firstly, remove the ball then clean completely. Dry the ball and its support using a soft cloth.
2
Take off the metal plate
3
Remove the valve cover
43
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Do not clean any part of the Cook4Me + with abrasive sponges or wire wool.
Before reinstalling the ball, check that the pipe is not blocked by blowing into it, from the opposite side to the picture above.
Press on the internal part of the safety valve spring, from the opposite side to the picture shown above, to check that it is not clogged.
Check that the manometric rod (above) is not blocked and correctly positioned. Clean if necessary.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Clean the outside of the appliance’s lid using a damp sponge. Clean the silencing pressure valve at the back of the lid. Pull out the valve cover from the lid, then take out the valve and clean it under running water. Reassemble the valve and return it to its original position in the lid.
Clean the upper part of the cooking bowl using a damp cloth. Clean the area behind the condensation collector using a damp cloth. Rinse the condensation collector and replace.
Clean the seal on the metal plate using a damp cloth then rinse thoroughly. Do not use sharp objects.
Note: The seal is non-removable from the metal plate.
45
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Replace the watertight seal at least every three years. This operation can only performed by an Approved Service Centre.
• In the event of accidental immersion of the appliance or if water is spilt directly on the heating element when the bowl is not in position, take the appliance to an Approved Service Centre.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Do not store the appliance with the lid closed. Leave open or half open or slightly ajar. This will prevent unpleasant odours.
To carry the appliance, close the lid and lock it.

SAFETY FEATURES
Your pressure cooker contains several safety features:
Safety When Opening:
- If your pressure cooker is under pressure, the manometric rod is in the upper locking position, which prevents the lid from opening. Never try to force open your pressure cooker.
- It is especially important not to apply pressure to the manometric rod.
- Ensure that the internal pressure has fallen (additional steam escaping from the safety valve) prior to trying to open the lid.
Two Overpressure Safety Features:
- First device: the safety valve releases the pressure – see chapter on Cleaning and Maintenance, page 44.
- Second device : the joint let off steam on the back of the cover
If one of the overpressure safety features is triggered:
Turn off your appliance. Let your pressure cooker completely cool down. Open it. Check and clean the safety valve, decompression ball and gasket. See chapter on Cleaning and Maintenance. If your product leaks or is no longer operational after having performed these checks and cleaning, return it to a Tefal authorised Service Centre.
Regulating your appliance:
The pressure can be regulated by switching the heating element on or off. To minimise the effects of thermal inertia and improve regulation accuracy, the decompression ball can be automatically triggered to briefly release steam from time to time.
49
