out of reach of children.
• Appliances can be used by persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge if they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use
of the appliance in a safe way and if they
understand the hazards involved.
• Children shall not play with the appliance.
• Place the appliance on a flat stable,
heatproof work surface, away from any
water splashes or any sources of heat.
• Never place or use the appliance close
to a wall or below a wall cupboard as the
steam produced by the appliance can
cause damage.
• Do not place your appliance near a heat
source in operation (hob, household
appliance, etc.).
• Do not fill your appliance to more than
the MAX mark on the bowl. Do not fill it
more than half full for food that expands
during cooking, such as rice, dried
vegetables. Reduce the volume of water
to avoid the risk of boiling over.
• When in operation, never leave the

Page 4
• Before using your appliance, check that
the manometric rod and the safety valve
are clean (see section Cleaning and
maintenance).
• Do not place any foreign objects in the
pressure release system. Do not replace
any of the safety device yourself.
• When you open the lid, first unlock it by
holding the lid open/close handle. Then
position your arms in alignment with the
side carrying handles, hold each side lid
handle with your hands and raise the lid.
• Be careful also about the risk of scalding
from the steam coming out of the
appliance when you open the lid. First
open the lid very slightly to allow the
steam to escape gently.
• Never force the appliance open. Make
sure that the inside pressure has returned
to normal. Do not open the lid when the
appliance is under pressure. To do so,
see pages 44-46 “Problem & Solutions”
section “The lid does not open once the
steam is released”.
• Use only the appropriate spare parts for
your model. This is particularly important
for the sealing gasket, the cooking bowl
and its safety devices.
• Do not damage the sealing gasket. If
it is damaged, have it replaced in an
Approved Service Centre.
• The heat source necessary for cooking is
included in the appliance.
• Do not place the appliance in a heated
oven or on a hot hob. Do not place the
appliance close to an open flame or a
flammable object.
• Do not heat the cooking bowl with any
other heat source than the heating plate
of the appliance and do not use any
other bowl. Do not use the cooking bowl
with other appliances.
• Move the appliance with great care when
it is under pressure. Do not touch the
hot surfaces. Use the carrying handles
when moving it and wear oven gloves, if
necessary. Do not use the lid handle to
lift the appliance.
Page 5
• Do not use the appliance for other than
the intended purpose.
• This appliance is not a steriliser. Do not
use it to sterilise jars.
• The appliance cooks food under pressure.
Incorrect use may cause risks of burns
due to steam.
• Make sure that the appliance is properly
closed before bringing it up to pressure
(see Instructions for use).
• Do not use the appliance empty, without
its bowl or without liquid inside the bowl
if using a mode cooking under pressure.
This could cause serious damage to the
appliance.
• 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, compotes, etc.),
shake the appliance slightly before
opening it to ensure that the food or
cooking juices do not spurt out.
• Do not use the appliance to deep fry food
in oil. Only browning is allowed.
• In browning mode, be careful of risks of
burns caused by spattering when you add
food or ingredients into the hot bowl.
• During cooking and automatic steam
release at the end of cooking, the
appliance releases heat and steam.
Keep your face and hands away from
the appliance to avoid scalding. Do not
touch the lid during cooking.
• Do not use a cloth or anything else
between the lid and the housing to
leave the lid ajar. This can permanently
damage the gasket.
• Do not touch the safety devices, except
while cleaning and maintaining the
appliance in accordance with the
instructions given.
• Make sure that the bottom of the cooking
bowl and the heating element are always
clean. Make sure that the central part of
the heating plate is mobile.
• Do not fill up the interior body of your
appliance without its cooking bowl.
Page 6
• Use a plastic or wooden spoon to prevent
any damage to the non-stick coating of
the bowl. Do not cut food directly in the
cooking bowl.
• If a great deal of steam is released from
the rim of the lid, unplug the power cord
at once and check whether the safety
devices are clean. If necessary, send the
appliance to an Approved Service Centre
for repair.
• Do not carry the appliance by holding it
by the handles of the removable bowl.
Always use the two side handles on the
housing of the appliance. Wear oven
gloves if the appliance is hot. For more
safety, make sure that the lid is locked
before transporting the appliance.
• If pressure is released continuously through
the valve of the appliance (for more than
1 minute) while pressure cooking, send the
appliance to a Approved Service Centre for
repair.
• Do not use a damaged appliance. Take it
to your Approved Service Centre.
• The guarantee does not cover the abnormal
wear and tear of the cooking bowl.
• In accordance with current regulations,
before disposing of an appliance no
longer needed, the appliance must be
rendered inoperative (by unplugging it
and cutting off the supply cord).
• Use only spare parts sold in an Approved
Service Centre.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.

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 – pressure cooking,
ingredients menu and recipes menu – always require
some liquid. See the cooking guides on pages 30-33
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
• 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 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 – pressure
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.
• Cook4me is not a slow cooker. The “slow cook” mode
operates using a low temperature (approx 75°C) for
gentle cooking such as melting butter.
• The “simmer” mode operates using a temperature of
approximately 90°C and can be used for such things as
reducing sauces.
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.
Page 39
• Before browning meat joints dry the outside with
kitchen 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 – pressure
cooking and ingredients menu – reduce the liquid
quantity when 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 thickening granules into the boiling hot dish
or liquid until 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.
• 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.
