F I S S L E R V I T A V I T • Keep an eye on the pressure cooker while cooking, especially the indicator rod. Regulate the energy level so that the indicator rod does not rise above the desired cooking setting. In this case, if the energy level is not decreased, steam will escape through the valve.

F I S S L E R V I T A V I T 5. How the pressure cooker works 7. Basic information Steam is formed in the closed cooker, which must always contain a certain amount of liquid. Air is expelled through the Fissler Euromatic, which then closes automatically. See Fig. C The pressure in the cooker is built up, the temperature increases, and the indicator rod rises.

Opening during cooking When putting the main control valve together again, follow the order shown in our drawing, to avoid improper assembly and safety risks which could thus result. Screw the main control valve into the lid from above it and the nut from below.
F I S S L E R Important: Never force the cooker open. It may only be opened if the indicator rod has fallen back into its socket completely and no more steam escapes when the safety slide is moved. Always shake the cooker before you open it. This will prevent pockets of steam which might be caught within the food from spattering up when the pressure cooker is opened. If you do not do so, you are in serious danger of suffering burns and scalding by the escaping steam and food.

Replacement parts Please note: Depending on how often you use your pressure cooker, you should replace the rubber gasket, the Oring for the valve base of the main control valve, and the O-ring for the Euromatic every 1-2 years. In case of damage (tears or cracks, deformation on the edge, hardening or discoloration), these parts should be replaced immediately. Failure to do so may affect proper functioning and safety.
