the safety slide and shake the cooker gently. Repeat
this until no escaping steam can be seen or heard and
the safety slide can be easily moved into the open po-
sition . Then open the cooker.
Opening during cooking
If you should need to open the pressure cooker dur-
ing the cooking process, it must be depressurized
first as described here. The lid will be hot, so be care-
ful when opening and closing it! Only touch the han-
dles, to avoid burning yourself.
Remember that you are interrupting the cooking
process by opening the cooker. When you continue
cooking, you must adjust the remaining cooking time
and set the timer accordingly.
9. Care instructions
Wash the pressure cooker each time it is used. The
pot and lid can be washed by hand in the usual way
or placed in the dishwasher. Do not place the gasket
in the dishwasher, as it might be damaged by the
dishwasher detergent.
Use Fissler Stainless Steel Cleanser to remove water
spots and to give your pressure cooker a brilliant
shine. Do not use steel wool or abrasive scouring
powders or liquids.
Cleaning the valves
See Fig. T
Each time you use the pressure cooker, wash the con-
trol valve unit by holding the opening under running
hot water.
Also wash the valve base seal and the silicone mem-
brane.
See Fig. U
If the control valve is dirty, remove the entire unit.
To do so, loosen the screw in the inside of the lid,
using a coin, for example.
See Fig. V
Remove the control valve unit completely and wash
it under running water. After the control valve unit
and the lid have been washed, mount the valve on its
holder again, attaching it with the screw.
Food particles should be removed from the Euro-
matic safety valve under running water. It does not
have to be removed to do so.
For a longer service life
The rubber gasket will last longer if you place the lid
upside down on top of the pressure cooker after it
has been washed.
Note:
Depending on how often you use your pressure
cooker, you should replace the rubber gasket,
the silicone membrane, the O-ring for the Euro-
matic, and the valve base seal every 1-2 years. In
case of damage (tears or cracks, deformation on
the edges, hardening or discoloration), these
parts should be replaced immediately. Failure to
do so may affect proper functioning and safety.
