Operation Manual

Minimum amount: 200-300 ml of water, depending on the diameter of your cooker. (See „min“ marking)
In case of extreme overheating, plastic parts on the cooker or the aluminum in the base could melt and liquefy. If
this should occur, turn off the heat source and do not move the cooker until it has cooled down completely. Air
the room.
• Donotllthepressurecookertomorethan⅔ of its volume. (See „max“ marking)
For foods that foam or swell while they are cooking, such as rice, legumes, broths or dried vegetables, do not fill
the pressure cooker to more than half full. (See „½“ marking)
• Neverleaveyourpressurecookerunattended.Regulatetheenergysourcesothatthetrafclightindicator
does not show the red ring. If the energy source is not turned down, steam will escape through the valve and
the amount of liquid in the cooker will be reduced. If all of the liquid should vaporize, the food will burn and the
cooker and burner may be damaged.
