To release pressure
After the heat has been turned off you have two
■
alternatives:
■ ■ Slow pressure release: gradually turn the
programme selector to the steam position
This is used for stews, vegetables, joints
of meat and fish dishes.
!
Beware of the steam jet during steam release.
■ ■ Fast pressure release: place the pressure cooker
under a cold tap, directing the flow onto the metal
part of the lid. This is used for soups, rice, pasta,
milk puddings, egg custards, cake and pudding
mixtures, recipes containing rice or pasta and
recipes with a high liquid content. If in doubt, use
the fast release method.
!
Remove the timer (according to the model).
■ When the pressure indicator is down in the
normal position, all pressure has been released from
the pressure cooker.
!
Steam continues to escape via the outlet for
a few more seconds – do not leave your hand
above the outlet.
■ You can then open the pressure cooker.
!
To move/lift the pressure cooker use the side
handles on the pot. Never use the lid knob to move
or lift it.
If you cannot open the lid:

■ ■
normal position.

pressure cooker under a cold tap.
