3. The blue-point pressure
cooker safety systems
• Control valve unit:
1. with the indicator rod with markings for the
Gentle Setting and the Speed Setting
2. with pressure limitation function (If the Speed
Setting is exceeded, the control valve automati-
cally shuts off, at a maximum of 1.5 bar.)
• Fissler Euromatic:
1. for automatic depressurizing of the cooker
2. as a residual pressure block (When the safety
slide is under pressure, it is blocked by the valve
gate and cannot be opened. The pressure
cooker can only be opened when it is completely
pressureless.)
3. with a safety function if the lid has been closed
incorrectly (The valve does not seal the opening
in the lid and thus does not permit pressure to
build.)
4. with a pressure limitation function (If there is a
defect in the safety valve in the control valve unit,
the Euromatic automatically expels steam.)
• Rubber gasket
• Safety slide in the lid handle (works with Euro-
matic):
1. to determine the cooking method (with or with-
out pressure)
2. to reduce pressure by releasing steam
3. to unlock the lid before it is removed
• Lid with bayonet locking system: ensures secure
closure under operating pressure
• Safety handle for safe handling
4. About the pressure cooker
The blue-point pressure cooker makes perfect cook-
ing results easy. You can choose between cooking
under pressure and conventional cooking without
pressure. The marking on the lid handle makes this
easy: For pressure cooking, after closing the cooker,
you set the safety slide at the closed position . In
this position, steam can build up.
The cooking process begins automatically with the
Fissler Euromatic, which expels the air from the
pressure cooker. This means that the oxygen in the
air, which can destroy important vitamins during
cooking, cannot affect the vitamin content and
aroma.
The extra large indicator rod shows the cooking set-
ting: At the Gentle Setting (1st ring), for vegetables
and other delicate foods, the temperature is approx-
imately 109°C (about 0.4 bar). At the Speed Setting
(2nd ring), for stews or meat dishes, it is approxi-
mately 116°C (about 0.8 bar). If the operating pres-
sure for the Speeding Setting in the pressure cooker
is exceeded, steam is released automatically, at a
maximum of 1.5 bar.
If vegetables are cooked in the perforated inset in
steam instead of in water, most of the water-soluble
vitamins are preserved.
For conventional cooking without pressure, after
closing the cooker, set the safety slide at the open
position .
