moved. To open, briefly release the slide and
then push it all the way forward.
Opening during cooking
If you should need to open the pressure cooker
during the cooking process, it must be depres-
surized first as described here. The lid will be
hot, so be careful when opening and closing it!
Only touch the handles, to avoid burning your-
self.
Remember that you are interrupting the cook-
ing process by opening the cooker. When you
continue cooking, you must adjust the remain-
ing cooking time and set the timer accordingly.
9. Care instructions
Wash the pressure cooker each time it is used.
The pot and lid (including the Euromatic) can
be washed by hand in the usual way or placed in
the dishwasher. Do not place the gasket or
main control valve in the dishwasher, as they
might be damaged by the dishwasher deter-
gent.
Use Fissler Stainless Steel Cleanser to remove
water spots and to give your pressure cooker a
brilliant shine. Do not use steel wool or abra-
sive scouring powders or liquids.
Cleaning the main control valve
See Fig. P
Each time you use the pressure cooker, you
must remove the main control valve from the lid
and thoroughly wash all of its parts. You must
take the main control valve apart to do so.
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.
Food particles should be removed from the
Euromatic 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 cook-
er after it has been washed.
Note:
Depending on how often you use your pres-
sure cooker, you should replace the rubber
gasket, the O-ring for the valve base, and the
O-ring for the Euromatic 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 func-
tioning and safety.
