full. In the case of foods which swell or foam a great
deal, only half full. First place the soup in the cooker,
leaving it uncovered, and bring to a boil two or three
times, so that you can scoop off the foam, stir, and
then close the cooker.
Do not prepare stewed fruits or applesauce in a pres-
sure cooker! Disregarding this warning may result in
scalding!
Cooking in the perforated inset
Vegetables, fish, and other delicate foods can be
cooked in the perforated inset, with or without the
tripod.
See Fig. 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 Fig. 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 Fig. L
To lock, turn the lid in the direction shown by the
arrow (clockwise) as far as possible.
See Fig. M
The lid handle, pot handle, and side handle are now
aligned.
See Fig. 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 Fig. O
For conventional cooking, without pressure, the
slide must be set at open and may not be changed
during cooking.
