Preparation of soups and stews
Soups and stews must always be cooked without
insert. Fill the cooker to maximum
2
/3 of its capac-
ity When preparing foods that tend to foam or
swell, fill the cooker only to
1
/2 of its capacity To
prepare soups, first bring the ingredients to the
boil in the open cooker, scoop off the foam and
then close the cooker.
Never use the pressure cooker for apple sauce or
stewed fruit, as there is a serious risk of scalding!
Preparing food in the perforated insert.
The perforated insert is used with or without the
tripod for the preparation of vegetable, fish and
other delicate foods.
See figure J
Preparing vegetables and potatoes
• Pour a minimum of 2 cups (a good 1/4 liter) of
liquid into the pressure cooker. If desired, add
herbs, seasonings or wine.
• Place the trimmed vegetables in the perforated in-
set, then set it on top of the tripod in the cooker.
• Close the cooker.
• Turn the burner to high.
Preparing fish
After adding the minimum amount of liquid, cook
the fish in its own juice at the bottom of the cooker,
or else steam it in the perforated inset.
Cooking in the unperforated inset
Please remember that the unperforated inset may
only be used together with the tripod (or the perfo-
rated inset).
Note: Replacement sets can also be purchased sepa-
rately in stores.
Deep-frying in the pressure cooker
• For deep-frying in the pressure cooker, the cooker
must always be open, without a lid. Only fill the
cooker halfway, in order to prevent burns due to
foaming oil or grease spatters. Make sure that you
do not overheat the fat.
Conventional cooking (without pressure)
Once the cooker is closed, make sure that the safety
slide is in the open position . No steam will be
formed, and the indicator rod will not rise. It is nor-
mal for steam to escape from under the lid handle.
Closing the cooker
See figure K
Put on the lid so that the circular marking on the lid
and the red dot on the pot handle are lined up. The
safety slide should be in the open position .
See figure L
To lock, turn the lid in the direction shown by the
arrow (clockwise) as far as possible.
See figure M
The lid handle, pot handle, and side handle are now
aligned.
See figure N
For pressure cooking, pull the safety slide back as
far as possible. The cooker is now locked, and the
safety slide is in the closed position.
See figure O
For conventional cooking, without pressure, the
slide must be set at open and may not be changed
during cooking.
