FISSLER BLUE-POINT
5. How the pressure cooker
works
Steam is generated in the sealed cooker, which
must always contain a certain amount of liquid.
The air in the cooker is thereby automatically
expelled through the Fissler Euromatic valve.
Overpressure is built up in the cooker, the temper-
ature increases and the indicator rod rises. At this
point, you must reduce the energy input.
When the desired cooking setting is reached, the
cooking time begins. The indicator rod indicates
the current pressure level in the cooker.
After the cooling time has elapsed, the pressure
cooker must be depressurised completely (see
chapter 8). Only when fully de-pressurised can the
pressure cooker be opened.
6. Before initial use
Please remove all stickers from pressure cooker
and its lid. Wash the cooker and lid thoroughly
using a conventional detergent. Fill the cooker to
half its height with water, add a squirt of lemon
juice and boil at Fast Setting II as described below.
7. Basic handling of the cooker
Opening the cooker
See figure C
• Push the safety slide forward to the open position
and
See figure D
• turn the lid in the opposite direction to that shown
by the arrow, until the red dot on the pot handle and
the circle on the lid are lined up. Then lift the lid.
Before each use
See figure E
Check to see that the valve gate in the control valve
unit can move freely, by gently pushing it upward
from the inside of the lid through the valve base seal
with a suitable object. If it springs back easily, it will
function properly.
See figure F
Check to see that the indicator rod can move freely,
by gently pushing it upward. If it springs back eas-
ily, it will function properly.
See figure G
Check the Fissler Euromatic (a) to ensure that it is
not blocked or stuck. To do this, gently shake the
Euromatic.
Check whether the silicone gasket (b) is properly
secured in the lid.
