Important safeguards
Take the time to read all the instructions and refer to the "User's
Guide".
•
As with any cooking appliance, supervise cooking closely if using the
pressure cooker with children nearby.
•
Do not put your pressure cooker into the oven.
•
When the pressure cooker is under pressure, take great care when
moving it. Do not touch the hot surfaces. Use the handles on the pot
to hold or carry the pressure cooker. Wear oven 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 pressure
inside the pressure cooker has been fully released.
•
Never use your pressure cooker without liquid: this could cause
serious damage.
•
Use compatible heat source(s).
•
Do not fill your pressure cooker more than 2/3 full. For food that
expands during cooking, such as rice, dehydrated vegetables or stewed
fruit, do not fill the pressure cooker more than halfway up the pot.
•
After cooking meat which has an outer layer of skin (such as ox
tongue), which may 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.
•
Before each use, check the valves and the steam vent for clogging
(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. In particular, never open the control
module.
•
Replace the lid seal once a year.
•
Use only the appropriate TEFAL spare parts for your model.
•
Do not use your pressure cooker to store acidic or salty food before or
after cooking.
•
Alcohol vapours are flammable. Watch your appliance when
preparing alcohol-based recipes.

Clipso Control
Control module
■ The control module has been designed to make
the cleaning of your pressure cooker easier.
■ Once the control module and lid seal have been
removed, the pot and the lid can go in the
dishwasher.
■ The control module contains all the equipment,
which allows your pressure cooker to work. As
soon as it is secured onto the lid. You can use your
pressure cooker normally.
Removing the control module
■ Turn the lid upside down.
■ Unscrew the retaining nut of the module, using a
coin if necessary.
To secure the control module on the lid
■ Whilst holding the module upside down, position
the lid onto the module so that the parts of the
module will fit into the holes of the lid.

necessary.
■■ The control module will only fit on one way.

Your pressure cooker is equipped with a timer,
which automatically starts to count down the
pre-programmed cooking time as soon as the
correct temperature has been reached for the
programme selected.
Instructions for use
■ To turn the timer on, press either + or – button.
■ To set the cooking time (maximum of 59 minutes)
press the + or – button.
■■ Hold down the button to move along more
quickly.
The cooking time can only be set in full
minutes (not minutes and seconds).
■ When the cooking time is set, the OK indicator is
displayed on the screen.
■ The timer starts as soon as the right pressure level
and temperature is reached. A short series of beeps
inform you when it starts.
■ Once countdown has started, you can now
remove the timer from the pressure cooker.
■■ The starting of the timer is not triggered by the
release of steam via the steam release outlet:
depending on the amount of food in the cooker and
the heat source used, the timer may start before or
after the steam release.
Don’t forget to turn down the heat once
there is a continual release of steam from the
steam release outlet.

■ You are able to increase or reduce the cooking
time on the timer at any time, even during
countdown, by simply pressing the + (to increase)
or – (to reduce) button.
■ When the cooking time is over, the timer informs
you with continuous beeps. Press either + or –
button only once to stop the beeping. The timer
turns itself off automatically.
Note: your Clipso pressure cooker is
designed to operate with or without the timer.
■ To remove the timer: lift the timer carefully away
from the module, making sure to hold it on both
sides.
What to do if the following happens:
■ If the timer beeps regularly and if the screen
shows --:--, then you should put the timer back onto
the module. The OK sign should then appear on the
screen.
■ You have programmed the timer but then decide
you don’t wish to use it: the timer will turn itself
off automatically after an hour, but you can switch
it off yourself manually by pressing both
the + and – buttons at the same time.
Use and care:
■ Do not put the timer in the dishwasher.
■ Do not put the timer in water.
■ Instead, use a clean cloth to clean the timer.
■ Do not use any cleaning liquids to clean the
timer.

■ The lifetime of the battery depends on timer usage
frequency. However, you should replace the battery
when you notice total or partial loss of display.
■ The timer battery is alkaline or manganese button

contribute to environmental protection, dispose of
spent batteries at a specialised collection centre. The
battery complies with European regulation.
■ You can have the timer battery ref LR 54 replaced
by an authorised service dealer.
■ To remove the battery from your timer, unlock
the cover of the battery compartment as shown on
the diagram opposite (use a coin if necessary).
■ You can get another timer from any TEFAL
Approved Service Centre.
