Aluminium - put a mixture of water and milk to the limit of 2/3 of its height (1 part water to 2 parts milk), put the lid and bring it to boil, until it is poured through the pressure regulator (upper part).
Remove any food remains and check if the black part of the pressure regulator is properly tightened. If not, tighten it. Check if the sealing ring is fitted properly (page 11.1.1 point I). Check if the safety valve is in good condition by pressing the bolt on the inside of the lid.
instructions for use Set the pressure regulator (upper part) in the sealing position by pressing it slightly vertically and downwards, which allows to keep the pressure regulator (upper part) in the lid. WHILE USING IT Place the pressure cooker on a heat source (gas, electric stove, ceramic hob or induction).
When the steam starts to come out the pressure regulator (upper part), making it spin or oscillate, the necessary pressure is reached. From this moment that you must count the indicated cooking time (see page 14.1.1). You should reduce the heat to minimum or reduce the electrical power. Even if the pressure regulator (upper part) stops spinning continuously, the internal pressure of the pan will be sufficient for cooking.

It is normal that some steam is let off the safety valve. But if the steam comes out violently, you shall proceed as if the cooking time had ended (points 10 and 11). Check if the pressure regulator hole - lower part, is obstructed with some food remains (page 12.1.1, point II, item b). Restart the process from (point 6).
maintenance and cleaning Sealing rings: a) Normal use: If used normally, the sealing ring lasts for one year, if you always wash and only with hot water and a brush, even without removing it from the lid. In case of stainless steel pressure cookers, pay special attention to the inner part, washing and drying it properly. The sealing ring must be replaced, when it no longer fits the lid or its sealing properties are faulty.

Washing liquids have been designed to ensure a quick cleaning action through their high corrosive power, being slightly aggressive.
