• Once the 20 minutes are up, turn off the heat.
• Turn the operating valve (A) to position
• Oncethepressure indicator(D) drops back: your pressure coo­ker is no longer under pressure.
• Open the pressure cooker.
• Rinse the pressure cooker with water and dry it.
• Note: The presence of stains on the inside of the pressure cooker base has no effect on the quality of the metal. This is simply a scale deposit. To remove these deposits, you can use a scouring pad and some diluted vinegar.
Before cooking
• Before each use of the pressure cooker, always remove the
valve (A) (Refer to the “Using the operating valve” heading) and visually check that the operating valve seat (B) is not blocked. If necessary, clean it with a toothpick
- Fig 8
• Check that the safety valve (C) can move: Refer to the
“Cleaning and maintenance” heading.

.
• Always make sure that the pressure cooker is properly clo-
sed before starting to heat it. The opening button (E) must be in the position.
• Place the pressure cooker on a heat source set to maxi­mum power.
During cooking
• Once the operating valve (A) starts to continually release
steam and a regular hissing sound can be heard, cooking has started. Reduce the heat setting.
• Set a timer for the cooking time stated in your recipe.
• Once the cooking time is up, turn off the heat.
Finishing cooking
To release the steam
• Once the heat is turned off, you have two options:
Slow pressure release: gradually turn the operating valve (A) to the position. Make sure that the cooker is posi- tioned so that the steam is directed away from you. Once the pressure indicator (D) drops down: your pressure coo­ker is no longer under pressure. This is used for stews, ve­getables, meat joints and fish dishes.
Fast pressure release: place your pressure cooker under
cold running water, directing the flow onto the metal part of the lid. Once the pressure indicator (D) drops down: your pressure cooker is no longer under pressure. Turn the operating valve (A) to the position. This is used for soups, rice, pasta, milk puddings, egg custards, cake and pudding mixes, recipes containing rice or pasta and re­cipes with a high liquid content. If in doubt, use the fast pressure release method.
• Now you can open it.

Safety
Your pressure cooker is provided with a number of safety me­chanisms:
Closure safety:
- If the appliance is not properly closed, the pressure in­dicator cannot rise and therefore the pressure cooker will never come up to pressure.
Opening safety:
- While the pressure cooker is under pressure, the ope­ning knob cannot be activated. Never force the pres­sure cooker open. Never tamper with the pressure indicator. Always make sure that the pressure inside the pressure cooker has been released.
• Two excess pressure safety features:
- First feature: the safety valve (C) releases pressure and
the steam will escape horizontally from the top of the lid
- Fig 13
- Second feature: the seal (I) lets steam escape vertically from the side of the lid - Fig 14
If one of the two excess pressure safety systems is triggered:
• Turn off the heat.
• Allow the pressure cooker to cool down completely.
• Open it.
• Check and clean the operating valve (A), the operating valve seat and pipe (B), the safety valve (C) and the seal (I).
Never use a cutting or pointed object to do this, you can use a cot­ton bud.
Always have your pres­sure cooker checked by a TEFAL Approved Ser­vice Centre after ten years of use.
Recommendations for use
1 - The steam is very hot when it leaves the operating valve. 2 - As soon as the pressure indicator rises, you can no longer
open your pressure cooker.
3 - Just like for any other cooking appliance, always pay close
attention to it, especially during use in the presence of
children. Never leave unattended whilst in use. 4 - Beware of the horizontal steam jet. 5 - To move the pressure cooker, always use both of the
handles. 6 - Never leave food in your pressure cooker. 7 - Never use bleach or chlorine products for they could affect
the quality of the stainless steel. 8 - Never wash the lid in the dishwasher. Never leave the lid to
soak in water. 9 - Replace the seal every year. 10 - A pressure cooker may only be cleaned when cold and
when empty.
11 - Always have your pressure cooker checked by a TEFAL
Approved Service Centre after ten years of use.

Golden rules when pressure cooking (for UK Consumers)
• The minimum quantity of liquid required for normal cooking is 250 ml (½ pint) for the first ¼ hour cooking. For each additional ¼ hour, or part of ¼ hour, add a further 150 ml (¼ pint) of liquid. For example, 45 minutes cooking requires 600 ml (1 pint) of li­quid. Note: This is only a general guide. Certain foods, such as rice, pulses, steamed puddings and Christmas puddings may require extra water (see text below).
• When steaming foods in the basket use a minimum of 750 ml (1¼ pint) water in the cooker.
• Always use a liquid that gives off steam when boiled e.g. water stock, wine, beer, cider, or milk. Never use oil or fat. All pressure cooking requires some liquid.
• Whatever the size of pressure cooker, the maximum filling level when all the ingre­dients and liquid have been added are:
Solid foods e.g. vegetables, meat joints: no more than two-thirds full Liquids and cereals e.g. soups, stews, rice, cereal and pasta: no more than half full Pulses e.g. dried beans and dried peas: no more than one-third full
• When cooking pulses they swell up and tend to froth up. Use 1.2 litres (2 pints) water for every 450 g (1 lb) pre-soaked weight of pulses. Remember all dried peas and dried beans, must be soaked in boiling water for 1 hour before cooking. Drain, rinse tho­roughly and cook in fresh water. Never eat uncooked beans or peas. Soaking is not ne­cessary for red lentils. The high temperatures achieved in the pressure cooker ensure that any natural toxins in the pulses are destroyed. Canned beans and pulses can simply be drained and rinsed before adding to the pressure cooker.
• For steamed suet puddings, sponge puddings or Christmas puddings, a short pre-stea­ming time is best to enable the raising agent to activate and prevent a heavy, close tex­ture. Extra liquid is required so use a minimum of 1½ pint/900 ml of boiling water for a combined steaming and cooking time of up to 1 hour. For each additional ¼ hour of cooking, or part of ¼ hour, add a further ¼ pint/150 ml of boiling water. Pre-stea­ming is done with the operating valve in the steam release position on a low heat for the required time. Then turn the operating valve to either 1 or 2, and increase the heat to bring to full pressure. Lower the heat and pressure cook for the required time. Pres­sure 1 operates at 7 lb (7 psi) and pressure 2 at 12 lb (12 psi)
• Never cook dumplings with the lid tightly closed, as they could rise up and block the sa­fety devices. Cook the stew and at the end of cooking, release the steam and cook gently for about 10 - 15 minutes without the lid on.
• Pressure cooking times vary according to the size of individual pieces or thickness of the food, not the weight.
• To prevent discolouration of the interior, caused by mineral deposits in hard water areas, add a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar.
• Cooking containers must withstand temperatures of 130°C (250°F). Any covering on containers, e.g. foil, greaseproof paper or cling film, must be securely tied otherwise they could block the safety devices. Do not use plastic lids as they prevent steam from being in contact with the food. Also, they could distort and come off during cooking which could block the safety outlets.
• Accurate timing is essential when pressure cooking to prevent overcooking, especially with vegetables, fruit and fish.
