FILLING (Figure 3)
Maximum allowable fi lling
Fill the pressure cooker to a maximum of 1/2 vessel capacity with foods that tend
to froth or swell when heated (such as soups or lentils)!
Fill to a maximum of 2/3 vessel capacity with other foods that do not change
volume when heated!
Minimum allowable fi lling
1 dl
NEVER COOK IN A PRESSURE COOKER WITHOUT WATER!
CLOSING (Figure 4)
MAKE SURE TO ACCURATELY FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS WHEN CLOSING
THE PRESSURE COOKER LID:
Turn the lid handle over to the "open" position; incline the lid and insert it into the
vessel from the side.
Let both ends of the crosspiece attach to the upper rim of the vessel. Turn the lid handle
to the "closed" position and make sure that the lid has tightly sealed to the upper
rim of the vessel.
After closing, avoid excessive pressure on the handle that might damage future
tightness of the attachment. The correct position of the handle when entirely closed
is horizontal!
COOKING (Figure 5)
ALWAYS SELECT A RANGE OF PROPER SIZE AND REASONABLE FLAME WHEN
COOKING.
The range diameter must be identical or lower than the bottom of the vessel!
Flame must never expand beyond the bottom of the vessel. Always use
the disperser net or cooking range when cooking on gas.
Place the properly fi lled and closed vessel on stove set to maximum or medium-to-
maximum output.
BEWARE! The operating valve arm must be in horizontal position.
After 2 to 5 minutes (depending on the type of stove and fi lling of the vessel), pressure
builds up in the vessel. Steam begins to escape from the operating valve, producing
moderate hissing. At that moment reduce the output of the stove until only a small
amount of steam is escaping from the valve and the hissing sound is slight - usually
setting the stove to 1 - 2 is enough.
Switch the heat off in advance before the required time elapses. With the three-
layer sandwich bottom, the accumulated heat energy is transferred into the vessel
even after the heat has been switched off.
The time required for cooking different foods is given in the enclosed table and applies
from the moment pressure builds up in the vessel, which is accompanied by a slight
hissing sound.
