3. Closing the pressure cooker: First, make sure Easy Lock Dial Knob is in the
"Open" position and that the two clamps are fully open. Set the lid on the
cooker evenly, aligning the lid with the body of the pot. Twist the Easy Lock Dial
Knob counterclockwise until the knob coincides with "Closed" mark and the
dial can no longer turn or no longer "clicks." It may be necessary to apply some

Cooking
1. When moving or handling the pressure cooker, always hold the Bakelite handles
on both sides of the pressure cooker and keep it level at all times.
2. The pressure cooker should always sit flat on the burner or heat source. When
using an electric stove, ensure that the diameter of the heating surface is
smaller than the diameter of the pressure cooker. When using a gas stove,
ensure that the flame does not extend beyond the diameter of the pressure
cooker.
3. Choose desired working pressure on the pressure control valve to position "1"
Low (1 to 8 PSI – 1 to 60 kPa), or position "2" High (8 to 15 PSI – 60 to 100 kPa)
according to your cooking needs. (See below.)
