1 - OPENING
■ Open the lid, using your thumb, slide back the opening button.
■ Then, without releasing the button, turn the lid anti-clockwise until
it opens and remove the lid.
■ Follow the Before Using for the First time instructions on Page 7.
2 - FILLING
■ Never use your Pressure Cooker without at least 250 ml of liquid
when cooking directly in the pan or 900 ml when steaming food.
■ Do not fill the unit over 2/3 full.
3 - BEFORE COOKING
■ Before each use, lift off the pressure regulator valve and check,
in daylight, to see that the steam outlet is not blocked. If necessary,
clean with a toothpick.
4 - CLOSING
■ Place the lid on the pan, aligning the rims.
■ Align the triangle on the lid with the one on the lower body
handle.
■ Turn the lid to the left until you hear it click.
5 - POSITIONNING THE PRESSURE REGULATOR VALVE
■ Place the pressure regulator valve in the desired position.
■ For cooking delicate foods and to preserve vitamins, place the
pressure reguator valve on (8 lb pressure).
■ For cooking meat place the pressure reguator valve on (13 lb
pressure).
■ Place the cooker on the hob turned to high heat.
6 - COOKING
■ Turn the heat down to a medium setting as soon as the pressure
regulator valve allows steam to escape at a constant rate, making a
regular hissing noise.
7 - END OF COOKING - STEAM RELEASE
■ Once the heat has been turned off you have two options:
■ Slow release of pressure: turn the pressure regulator valve to
position when the pressure indicator drops, your Pressure Cooker
is no longer under pressure. This is used for stews, vegetables, joints of
meat and fish dishes.
■ Fast pressure release: place the Pressure Cooker under cold
running water. When the pressure indicator pin drops, your Pressure
Cooker is no longer under pressure, turn the pressure regulator valve to
position . This is used for soups, milk puddings, rice, pasta, cake
and pudding mixes, recipes containing rice or pasta, or recipes with a
high liquid content. If in doubt, use the fast release method.
■ You can then open the lid.
8 - CLEANING

cleaning and maintenance recommendations after each use.

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 oven gloves if necessary.
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.
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.
•
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 genuine TEFAL spare parts for your model.
•
Alcohol vapours are flammable. Watch your appliance when prepa-
•
ring alcohol-based recipes.
Do not use your pressure cooker to store acidic or salty food before
•
or after cooking.
Make sure the pressure regulator valve is in the steam release posi-
•
tion before opening the lid.
This product is designed for domestic use only. Any commercial use,
•
inappropriate use or failure to comply with the instructions, the manufacturer accepts no responsibility and the guarantee will not apply.
