■ DURING COOKING
The pressure indicator (D) prevents the pressure from rising in the pressure
cooker if it is not properly closed.
• It is normal for steam to be present at the pressure indicator (D) when the
product begins operating.
• When steam escapes continuously from the operating valve (A), with a
steady "pschhht" sound, reduce the heat until the valve (A) continues to
whisper steadily.
• Leave for the cooking time indicated in the recipe.
• For models equipped with a timer, program the time indicated in the recipe.
• As soon as the cooking time is over, turn o the heat source.
■ END OF COOKING
To release the steam:
- Slow pressure release:
• This is used for stews, vegetables, meat joints and
fish dishes.
• Gradually turn the valve (A), adjusting the speed
that the pressure is released by how far you
open the valve, until it aligns opposite the mark
-
with the symbol Fig. 9. When the pressure
indicator (D) drops down again, your pressure
cooker is no longer under pressure.
The pressure indicator (D) prevents the pressure
cooker from being opened if it is still under pressure.
- Rapid pressure release:
• This is used for soups, rice, pasta, egg custards,
cake and pudding mixes, recipes containing rice or
pasta and recipes with a high liquid content.
• You may place your pressure cooker in a sink
half-filled with cold tap water, to speed up the
decompression, see diagram opposite. When the
pressure indicator (D) drops down, your pressure
cooker is no longer under pressure.
• You may open your pressure cooker - Fig. 1 and 2.
- Special case foods:
• When cooking special case foods which expand or
foam during cooking e.g sliced carrots, pumpkins
(see cooking table) or dried vegetables, wait for
the pressure indicator (D) to drop before opening.
Reduce the recommended cooking time slightly.
Alternatively, use the rapid pressure release method
stated above.
• When cooking soups, we would advise you to carry
out a rapid pressure release (see section 'Rapid
pressure release').
