Please read these notes carefully BEFORE using your Tower Pressure Cooker

2.1SafetyFeatures

2.1.1 Pressure Limiting Valve and Pressure Indicator

• Once the pressure has built up to its working level, the pressure limiting valve will release any excess steam. Once the pressure cooker has reached its working pressure, the pressure indicator will rise to show one line.

• Should the pressure indicator rise to show a second red line, the pressure is incorrect and action needs to be taken. The pressure cooker should be taken off the heat and allowed to cool. When the pressure indicator has dropped, the pressure has been completely reduced. The pressure limiting valve should then be removed, the cover can then be opened and the pressure cooker checked to ensure that it has been set up correctly.

2.1.2 Safety Valve

• This will rise when the operating pressure reaches 4kPa – beware of any escaping steam as this can scald.

2.1.3 Sealing Ring/Safety Window

• When the pressure limiting valve and the safety valve have not been activated, the sealing ring will be squeezed out through the safety window. In this eventuality, action needs to be taken. The pressure cooker should be taken off the heat and allowed to cool. When the pressure indicator has dropped, the pressure has been completely reduced. The pressure limiting valve should then be removed, the Cover can then be opened and the pressure cooker checked to ensure that it has been set up correctly.

2.1.4 Lock/Unlock Handle

• In order to open or close the cover, the lock/unlock handle needs to be twisted 90 degrees.

2IMPORTANTSAFETYINFORMATION

Page 6

2.2UserSafety

• The pressure cooker heats food under pressure.

• When the pressure cooker is at its operating pressure, the liquid boils at 120°C

• When the food is at boiling temperature, and when the pressure is decreasing rapidly, steam and boiling liquid can escape from the pressure cooker.

• To avoid injury, ensure that the pressure cooker is closed correctly and securely before use. Do NOT start to heat the pressure cooker until the lid has been correctly and securely closed.

• DO NOT leave the pressure cooker unattended.

• DO NOT allow children to use the pressure cooker

• DO NOT obstruct the pressure limiting valve – it must be clear at all times.

• Finally, take care to position the pressure cooker so that tthe pressure limiting valve and safety windows are not in close proximity to other people or

yourself so as to prevent injury from escaping steam.

2.3Safetyduringuse

• Always check the pressure limiting valve before use – hold the cover up to the light and look through the valve to ensure that it is clear from any food, dirt, scale etc.

2.4Foodsandsafequantities

• The amount of food and liquid placed into the pressure cooker must NOT exceed

⁄3

of the volume of the pressure cooker. This is to allow room for any expansion, bubbling etc which could block the steam release valves. The amount of liquid (water, soup etc) must NOT be less than 200ml in order to avoid the risk of boiling dry. When cooking soup, rice or dried vegetables that expand during cooking, do not ll more than ¼ full.

• NEVER use your Tower OneTouch Pressure Cooker with oil. Some manufacturers may advise using small amounts of oil and some recipes may call for a similar amount of oil to be added. However, food must NOT be cooked directly in oil, i.e. for cooking food such as chips.

Page 7

Safety and Instruction Manual

Helpline: +44 (0) 844 984 0055

• DO NOT pressure cook foods such as stewed fruit, apple sauce, cranberries, rhubarb, pearl barley, oatmeal, other cereals, split peas, soup mixes containing dried vegetables, noodles, macaroni or spaghetti. These foods tend to foam, froth and splutter and may block the pressure limiting valve.

• If you are cooking foods that have skins, always pierce the skins before cooking. Do NOT pierce the skins immediately after cooking as the food could still be pressurised and may spray hot liquid that can cause injury.

• When cooking foods such as porridge or soup, allow your Tower Pressure Cooker to cool once the cooling time has elapsed, then shake the pressure cooker gently before opening to release any air bubbles. This will reduce the risk of bursting once the lid is open and prevent possible injury.

• When cooking soft food, such as rice, allow to cool, then shake the Pressure Cooker gently

before opening to avoid hot food spraying out as the pressure is released.

• In the unlikely event the appliance develops a fault, stop using it immediately and seek advice from the service department:

3 USING YOUR PRESSURE COOKER

For the rst time of use, clean the pressure cooker, ll with about 400ml of water and heat for 30 minutes. Allow to cool and then empty the heated water. Your pressure cooker

is now ready for use.

3.1BeforeCooking&SettheTimer

Open the lid – Twist the unlock handle in order to separate the cover from the bowl.

Check the Valves – Before each use, check that the pressure limiting valve, safety valve and safety window are not blocked and that the sealing ring is in place.

Add the Ingredients – place your selected ingredients in the bowl. Always use liquid in your pressure cooker. To avoid damage, DO NOT heat the pressure cooker when it is empty or dry.

As explained in Section 2.4, when cooking foods that will foam or froth, such as rice, dried vegetables or stewed fruit, do NOT ll the pressure cooker bowl to more than ¼ of its capacity in order to allow the food to expand without blocking the pressure limiting valve.

Similarly, if you are cooking foods that do not expand, e.g. meat and vegetables, DO NOT ll above 2/3 of the capacity of the bowl. Close the Cover – Fit the cover and twist the locking handle to lock the cover to the bowl.

Cooking Pressure – The Tower Pressure Cooker has one operating pressure, namely 80kPa (See Cooking Times and Recipes, Section 4)

Select the cooking time using the digital timer – Your Tower One-Touch Pressure Cooker

incorporates a digital timer that enables you to set the precise cooking time. This feature is unique to the Tower One-Touch Pressure Cooker.

Once you have set the time, the timer may be removed from the cover knob and may be taken around the house with you. When the cooking time has nished, an alarm sounds, alerting you to return and remove the pressure cooker from the heat.

Heating – Turn the hob to its highest setting in order to get the pressure cooker as quickly as possible to its required cooking pressure.

NOTE: Some steam will escape from the

safety valve after the pressure cooker has

been heating. This is normal and will cease

once the safety valve has risen.

Setting The Timer – Press the blue button on the timer. The number “00” will be displayed. Then press the button the required number of times – i.e. if you need 10 minutes, press the button 10 times.

The digital clock will then start counting down and, when it reaches “00” the alarm will sound. To stop the alarm, press the blue button. After a few seconds, the numbers will disappear

If you wish to stop the time counting down, press and hold down the blue button for a few seconds; the numbers “00” will be displayed and then the screen will go clear.

If you wish to leave the kitchen while the cooking is in progress, the timer can be removed from the cover knob and taken with you. The timer and the alarm will continue to work in the same way. Upon return to the pressure cooker, the timer can be replaced in its slot.

3.2DuringCooking

3.2.1 Cooking Pressure

Once the required cooking pressure (80kPa) has been reached, the pressure limiting valve will rise and steam will escape continuously from it (emitting a hissing sound as it does so). At this point, the heat should be turned down to the lowest possible level that maintains the pressure limiting valve in its raised position.

3.2.2 Cooking Time

The cooking time begins directly the heat is turned down, once the pressure limiting valve rises and the pressure cooker begins to hiss. Once the cooking time has nished, the hob

MAX

MIN

MAX

MIN

Safety and Instruction Manual

Helpline: +44 (0) 844 984 0055

should be turned off and the pressure cooker allowed to cool.

3.2.3 Caution

DO NOT leave the pressure cooker unattended during cooking.

DO NOT touch the metal surfaces of the pressure cooker during cooking as they will be very hot. Always use oven gloves and hold the pressure cooker by both handles, keeping the pressure cooker level.

The timer is NOT waterproof – please keep it away from any contact with water.

The timer is not a toy – keep it away from children and pets.

3.3OnceCookingHasFinished

Do NOT attempt to open your pressure cooker until it has cooled and the pressure has been released.

3.3.1 Natural Cooling – The Preferred Method

Using oven gloves and gripping the handles, carefully move the pressure cooker on to a level, heat-resistant surface and leave it to stand until the pressure has reduced and the safety valve has lowered.

3.3.2 Rapid Cooling

If it is necessary to cool the pressure cooker more rapidly, place it in a sink and run cold water over it until the safety valve has lowered

DO NOT allow water to enter the pressure cooker through the safety valve or through the pressure limiting valve.

REMOVE the timer from the cover when using the rapid cooling methods as the timer is NOT waterproof.

3.3.3 Opening The Pressure Cooker

Once the safety valve has lowered, the pressure limiting valve can be removed. When all of the steam has escaped and the valve rod has been released, the lid can be opened. If the safety valve rod has not dropped, it means that there is still some pressure in the pressure cooker.

To ensure your safety, the cover cannot be opened until the indicating valve rod has dropped. DO NOT force the pressure cooker open.

Under these circumstances, the safety valve may be pressed down, using a needle or a cocktail stick to enable the remaining steam to escape.

The pressure limiting valve should always be removed before opening the cover.

Use oven gloves to open the cover to avoid the risk of injury.

If soft foods, such as rice, are being cooked, shake the pressure cooker gently to relieve the pressure before opening. Similarly with foods such as soup, shake gently to disperse any bubbles as they could burst and spray hot liquid, causing injury.

Next, twist the lock/unlock handle to open the lid.

3.4HowtoUsetheSteamer

Some recipes, such as Christmas pudding, require pre-steaming before being brought to cooking temperature. Pre-steaming can be carried out in a closed pressure cooker, over a medium heat.

Once steaming begins, the heat should be turned down as low as possible in order to reduce the amount of steam that escapes and the amount of water that is consumed. Once pre-steaming is complete, check that there is still sufcient water remaining to complete the cooking stage.

The cover should be locked into position and the heat turned up to bring the pressure cooker up to cooking pressure.

The basket is used to prevent the food from coming into contact with the liquid while, at the same time, allowing the steam to circulate freely in and around the food.

The basket may be lined with aluminium foil when cooking foods such as rice or pasta. However, in order to prevent the rice or pasta from blocking the safety vents, the basket should be covered with greaseproof paper, which must be tied down securely around the sides of the basket.

4.2SampleRecipes FoodAllergies

Important Note: Some of these recipes may contain nuts and/or other allergens. Please be careful when making any of our sample recipes that you are NOT allergic to any of the ingredients. For more information on allergies, please visit the Food Standards Agency’s website at:

www.food.gov.uk

Ingredients Serves: 8

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 small onion, diced

• 1kg beef stewing meat, cubed

• 225ml beef stock

• 225ml water

• 5 carrots, peeled and diced

• 1 dessert-spoon salt, or to taste

• 8 medium baking potatoes, peeled and diced

• 1 dessert-spoon cornour

Method

1. Heat the oil in the bottom of the pressure cooker over medium high heat. Add the onion and beef, and cook until browned on the outside.

2. Stir in the stock, water, carrots and salt, close the lid, and secure the pressure limiting valve. Heat until you start to hear sizzling, then reduce the heat to medium, and set your timer for 20 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, place the potatoes in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to the boil, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain. This whole process should take about the same amount of time as the rest of the stew.

4. When the 20 minutes are up, release the pressure from the cooker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

5. Remove the lid, and place the pot over medium heat. Bring to the boil. Stir the cornour into a small amount of cold water until dissolved. Stir this into the stew, and cook for a few minutes. Add the potatoes to the stew, or place them in serving dishes, and ladle the stew over them.

Leek and Hazelnut Risotto

Ingredients Serves: 4

• 850ml hot meat or vegetable stock

• 2 baby carrots

• 2 to 3 small leeks

• 1 knob of butter

• 1 rosemary sprig

• 225ml dry white wine

• 400g Carnaroli, Arborio or Vialone Nano rice

• 1 teaspoon salt (or less if the stock is already salty)

• 1 handful of hazelnuts, roughly chopped with a grinder

• 1 knob of butter

• Grated Parmesan cheese, to serve

absorbed, and then pour the rest of the wine over the rice. Let the wine evaporate again. Add the salt and the boiling stock to the rice, stir and close the pressure cooker straight away.

4. Put the pressure cooker to the highest heat level and bring it to pressure. Depending on the model, you can turn off the cooker when it gets to pressure or lower the heat. Calculate about 4 minutes from when the pressure cooker comes to pressure.

5. While the rice is cooking, toast the hazelnuts in a dry frying pan on medium heat for a few minutes until they are golden, stirring constantly.

6. After 4 minutes in the pressure cooker, remove it from the heat, relieve the pressure by letting the steam escape. Pay attention while doing this because some liquid can come out of the valve.

7. Open the pressure cooker, stir the risotto and check to see if it needs more salt. Add the other knob of butter and stir, letting it cream the risotto before serving. Serve the risotto with a generous sprinkling of Parmesan cheese and the toasted nuts.

Method

1. In a medium sized pot, bring the stock to the boil. Peel the carrots and cut them into little cubes. Cut the leeks in half lengthways, wash them under running water, get rid of the dark green part and then cut them into little (2mm) pieces.

2. Put the pressure cooker on medium heat and melt 1 knob of butter. Brown the leeks, carrots and the rosemary sprig. Pour half of the white wine and let it simmer. (Keep the other half for later to pour over the rice.)

3. When the wine has evaporated, add the rice, mixing it so that the butter is

Ingredients Serves: 4-6

• Butter 100g, plus a little extra

• Golden caster sugar 100g

• Eggs 2

• Vanilla extract 1 tsp

• Self-raising our 100g

• Cocoa powder 1 tbsp

• Grated dark chocolate 2 tbsp

Method

1. Butter a 1.2 litre pudding basin. Cream the butter with the sugar until light and uffy. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl and add gradually. Add the vanilla extract and mix in.

2. Meanwhile, heat at least 5cm water in your pressure cooker with a steamer insert or an improvised steamer rack in place.

3. Sift the our and cocoa into the mixture. Gently fold, adding the chocolate. Add a tablespoon of water until the mixture is soft enough to drop from the spoon.

4. Pour the mixture into your prepared basin, lling only three-quarters to allow room to rise.

5. Take a double square of greaseproof paper, large enough to hang over the rim of the basin by a few centimetres, and fold a pleat into it. Butter the underside and secure the paper with a long piece of

string under the rim. Loop the string over the basin and tie on the opposite side to make a handle.

6. Put the basin into the steamer, cover the pressure cooker without clamping the cover closed and steam for 15 minutes. This is essential to allow the sponge to rise.

7. Now clamp on the cover. Bring up to full pressure, turn the heat down to medium and cook for 25 minutes.

8. Turn off the heat and vent immediately. Remove the basin using the handle. Run a knife around the inside of the basin and turn out on to a plate. Serve with double cream or crème fraîche.

5Cleaning,StorageandMaintenance

5.1LookingafteryourPressureCooker

Your Tower Pressure Cooker is designed to give you many years of trouble free cooking, if properly cared for.

After every use, the pressure cooker should be carefully cleaned and dried before putting away. Please ensure that all the parts are put away clean, dry and in a safe place ready for your next cooking session.

For the best results and in order to keep your stainless steel pressure condition in top condition, the stainless steel surface can be polished using a soft clean cloth and stainless steel cleaner to bring the true shine back and to ensure that it is ready for its next use.

Do not wash any part of the product in a dishwasher. We recommend careful hand washing only in order to prolong the lifespan of the product.

To avoid damaging the surface of the pressure cooker, do not use implements or cleaning materials made from metals, hard materials or abrasives.

DO NOT store food inside the Pressure Cooker when not in use.

To avoid damage to the seal, DO NOT store your pressure cooker with the cover tted in place; instead, place the cover upside down, with the seal uppermost and store the pressure cooker in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

5.2MaintainingtheSeal

After use, remove the seal from the cover and check for any damage. If the seal is damaged or has gone out of shape, it must be replaced immediately. We recommend that the seal be replaced every one or two years, depending upon the amount of use. Do NOT use substitute parts otherwise your Guarantee will be invalidated.

Wash the seal in hot water and detergent to remove any debris from both the seal and the groove in which it sits.

Dry the seal and replace it in the cover.

5.3MaintainingtheSafetyValveandPressure LimitingValve

If the pressure limiting valve has become blocked during the cooking process, the safety will automatically work. Ensure the cooker is then turned off immediately. Then open the cover and clear the valve by rinsing it in water.

5.4Safetyopen-preventingvalve

switch clockwise safety valve with spanner, dismantle and clean. If the pressure cooker has not been used for a period of time, always check the safety lock before use.

While in operation, NEVER remove the pressure limiting valve, do not put any weight on it or use anything else, other than the pressure limiting valve supplied.

In order to ensure safety, NEVER use any other sealing ring, other than the sealing ring supplied.

Do not lift the pressure limiting valve to lower the pressure when cooking.

Whilst cooking, AVOID knocking the pressure cooker as the contents are under pressure and will damage the cooker. Should you experience any problems, please take your pressure cooker to the nearest service agent, or a suitably qualied person.

5.5ChangingthebatteryintheTimer

Remove the new batteries from the packaging. The side with battery model number on is the front of the battery. Using a small coin, open the bottom of the timer by turning the coin anti-clockwise. Remove the old battery and carefully insert the new battery, making sure that the front side is up. Replace the lid and using the coin tighten it into position. Press the blue button on the timer to check if it is now working – you should see the numbers “00”. Insert the timer into the slot in the cover knob.
