Fill with softened water (the capacity of the jacket is stated in the “Technical data” section). When water starts to pour out of the level tap, close tap and replace safety cap. 3.2.2 DETAILS REGARDING OPERATION WITH PRESSURE KETTLE Before turning unit on, close lid firmly and lock 4 screw clamps. Check relief valve is in rest position. Start cooking at full power. When steam starts to emit from valve, reduce heating power. Steam emitting from valve must be constant and light. Pressure inside pan may reach a maximum of 0.05 bar. Upon request, appliance can be supplied with a pressure gauge to indicate pressure inside pan. Turn appliance off after cooking. Before opening lid, release all pressure from pan by lifting relief valve lever (see figure “Controls”). Check that valve lever is still "ON" and undo screw clamps. 3.2.3 SWITCHING ON, START COOKING AND SWITCHING OFF Fill pan with hot or cold water, according to need, using tap that appliance is equipped with. The unit has a three‐position selector to start cooking functions (see figure “Controls" on Page). Here is a list of the procedures for a safe and correct use of the appliance.
