Accessories and spare parts See cover *Perfect Ultra only20 Important note: Take care to ensure that the liquid never fully evaporates. This could result in food burning onto the pot and the pot being damaged by melting plastic parts. The hob could also be damaged by the aluminium in the base melt- ing. If this should occur then switch off the heat source and do not move the pot until it has cooled down completely.

10. Never fill the pressure cooker to more than

2/3 of its capacity. If using foodstuffs which expand during the cooking process, such as rice or dried vegetables, fill the pressure cooker to a maximum of half its capacity and observe any instructions de- tailed in the operating manual with regards to this.

11. Never leave your pressure cooker

unattended. Regulate the heat to ensure that the cooking indicator does not rise above the corresponding orange ring. If the heat is not turned down, steam will escape through the valve. Cooking times may change and the loss of liquid may result in function faults.

12. Only use the heat sources listed in the

13. If you have cooked meat with the skin

attached (such as ox-tongue), which may expand under the influence of pressure, take care not to pierce the meat while the skin remains expanded. This could result in burns.

14. In principle, always shake the pressure

cooker before opening it to avoid pockets of steam spitting out; this could result in scalding. This is particularly important when releasing steam quickly or depressurising the pressure cooker under running water.

15. When releasing steam quickly or depressu-

rising under running water, always keep your hands, head and body away from the danger area. You could otherwise be inju- red by escaping steam.

16. Before each use of your pressure cooker,

check that the safety devices, valves and seals are working properly. Only then can the safe functioning of your pressure cooker be guaranteed. You will find information on this in the operating manual.

17. Do not use your pressure cooker to fry food

in oil under pressure.

18. Never interfere with the safety systems,

except when carrying out the maintenance work specified in the operating manual.

19. Replace the wear parts (see warranty

statement) at regular intervals. Parts showing apparent discolouration, cracks or other damage, or which no longer sit correctly, must be replaced with original WMF spare parts.

20. Only use original WMF spare parts.

In particular, always use pots and lids of the same model.

21. Do not use the pressure cooker if it or its

parts are damaged or distorted, or if their functionality does not correspond to that described in the operating manual. If that is the case, please consult your nearest WMF dealer or WMF AG's Customer Service Department in Geislingen/Steige.21 Important safety notes on timer* and battery: The timer is not suitable for children under 3 years of age as it contains small parts that may be swallowed or inhaled by children (battery lid, sealing ring, battery). If the LCD display should become damaged, make sure not to injure yourself on the glass splinters. Ensure that the liquid crystals do not come into contact with your skin or find their way into your eyes and mouth. The battery supplied is not rechargeable. When changing the battery, make sure that you do not injure yourself on the battery contacts. Batteries may leak. If battery fluid should come into contact with your hands or clothing, im- mediately wash the affected areas with water. If battery fluid should come into contact with your eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and then seek medical treatment. Batteries must never be damaged, drilled open or thrown into naked flames. Only replace the battery by a battery of the type as specified by these operating instructions. Never dispose of used batteries in your household waste but take them to a municipal recycling centres. Please keep this operating manual in a safe place.

2. Operation of the timer*

You can use your pressure cooker to cook with or without the use of the timer. Important note: Do not place the timer anywhere near any magnets. The timer is matched exactly to your lid handle and cannot be exchanged. If you own several WMF Perfect Ultra pressure cookers with timer, any interchanging of the timers may lead to an incorrect display. 2.1. Switching the pressure cooker on and programming In principle, the timer (12) can only be switched on and operated, if it is positioned on the lid handle (5). The timer (12) is switched on if the plus button (25) is pressed. After approximately 2 seconds the display (20) shows »00«. Now you can use the plus and minus key (25)/(26) to set the re- quired cooking time (max. 99 minutes). If the key is kept pressed down, a rapid run-through is activated. When you heat your pressure cooker, pressure builds up. The indication on the timer is illuminated in red (24). Now you can no longer open the pot. If the preset heat setting has been reached, the cooking time commences. The timer (12) responds by sounding 3 short bleeps and the indicator counts backwards in minutes. The running seconds indicator (22) in the dis- play (20) shows that the cooking time is expi- ring (V). During the cooking time you can correct the programmed time with the plus or minus keys (25)/(26). This is only possible if the timer is lo- cated on the handle. The timer can be switched off at any time (12) by keeping the plus and minus keys (25)/(26) pressed simultaneously until the indication extinguishes. 2.2. On expiry of the cooking time When the preset time has expired, a signal of 5 short bleeps is sounded. You can switch off the sound by briefly pressing the plus or minus DEGBESBG

*Perfect Ultra only22 keys (25)/(26). Otherwise the signal is sounded another four times. The pressure cooker can only be opened if it has been fully depressurized. Only then the indicator (24) on the timer (12) will change from red to green (W). The indicator flashing in green (24) will extinguish automatically after approxima- tely 1 minute. 2.3. Removal of the timer In order to remove the timer (12) simply withdraw it in an upward direction from the handle (X). The earliest that you can remove the timer (12) is at the start of the cooking time, that is, when the preset heat setting has been reached and the minute time display (21) is running. When you remove the timer (12), the red indicator extinguishes (24), but the minute display (21) continues to run on. On expiry of the preset time period, even with the timer (12) removed, the signal is sounded up to 5 times (see above). Then the indication extinguishes. During the cooking time the timer can be remo- ved (12) and also replaced at any time. A correction of the preset cooking time is only possible, if the timer (12) is positioned on the lid handle (5). 2.4. Notes on care and maintenance Only use a moist cloth to wipe down the timer (12) for cleaning. Do not immerse in water and do not clean in the dishwasher. 2.5. Battery change The battery compartment is located to the rear of the timer (12). Use a coin to open the com- partment (Y). Place a battery into the battery compartment in accordance with the polarity specifications (Z). Lithium batteries of type CR 2450, 3 volt, are required. Use a coin to re-close the battery compart- ment (Y).

3. How to use the pressure cooker

Before first use 3.1. Open the pot Turn the rotary knob (8) to the position »open/close« (30a) and pull it backwards (30b). Pivot the lid handle (5) to the right until the in- dicators on the lid and on the long handle are aligned (B). Lift off the lid. 3.2. Cleaning the pot Before first use, you should remove the labels and wash all parts of your pressure cooker (see Section on »Cleaning«). Turn the lid over and detach the lid handle (5) from the lid by pulling the orange slide (7) on the underside of the handle (5) towards the end of the handle as indicated by the arrow and then lift off (C). Remove the sealing ring (10) from the lid. 3.3. Closing the pot Insert the handle (5) into the lid (D) and move the orange slide (7) across the lid rim until it audibly engages. Insert the sealing ring (10) into the rim of the lid. Replace lid (see marking on lid and pot handle) and turn lid handle (5) to the left until the stop position has been reached (B). Press rotary knob forwards (8) (A) and set to the required heat setting 1 or 2 (30c)/(30d).23

4. Notes on operation

4.1. Checking the safety devices before each use Ensure that the sealing ring (10) and lid edge are clean. Check that the ball is sitting visibly in the safety valve (4) on the underside of the lid (E). If the balls are in the upper chamber of the sa- fety valve (4), remove the handle (5) and press the ball into the lower chamber. Test the main valve (3) for ease of movement by pressing gently with your finger (G). Check the cooking indicator seal (2), the seal of the resi- dual pressure safety device (13) and the seal of the steam outlet aperture (14) for secure posi- tioning and any damage. Insert the handle (5) into the lid. Replace lid and close. 4.2. Liquid volumes To ensure that the correct amount of liquid is used, the pot has an internal scale (H). At least 1/4 l of liquid is required to generate steam, regardless of whether you are cooking with or without inserts. To ensure that your pressure cooker’s functiona- lity is not impaired, do not fill it to more than 2/3 of its capacity. When cooking foodstuffs which foam or expand heavily (e.g. stock, pulses, innards, compotes), only fill the pot to half its capacity. (See the section on »Preparing wholefood« for further in- formation). If you want to brown your food before cooking (e.g. onions, meat pieces etc.); you can use your WMF pressure cooker as a conventional pot. In order to complete the cooking, remove the browning residue and add the requisite amount of liquid (at least 1/4 l) before closing the pres- sure cooker. Caution! Never cook without sufficient liquid and take care to ensure that the cooking liquid never evaporates fully. Failure to observe this in- struction may result in food burning, damage to the pot or its plastic handles (see Safety Notes 9.).

5. Cooking using your pressure

cooker 5.1. General Your pressure cooker cooks food under pres- sure, i.e. at temperature above 100 °C. This re- duces cooking times by up to 70 %, a significant energy saving. Due to the short co- oking time in steam the food's flavour, taste and vitamins are largely preserved. 5.2. Cooking with inserts Depending on the size of your pressure cooker you can cook with inserts or a trivet. Inserts and trivets are available as accessories from your WMF dealer (see »Accessories and Spare Parts« inside the cover). 5.3. Heating Close pot and turn rotary knob to (8) the heat setting recommended in the cooking time table (30c)/(30d): Heat setting 1 (slow cooking setting) first orange-coloured ring Use heat setting 1 for preparing delicate foods such as vegetables, fish or fruit. With this heat setting, cooking is particularly slow and gentle; flavour and nutrients are better preserved. At heat setting 1 the cooking signal only rises to the first cooking ring. Excessive pressure is automatically regulated via the main valve (see Section 5.4 Cooking Times). Heat setting 2 (fast cooking setting) second orange-coloured ring Use heat setting 2 for preparing all other foods (see also Section 8 Versatile Use). With this heat setting you save a great deal of time and thus energy. At heat setting 2 the cooking DEGBESBG

HR24 signal rises to second cooking ring. Excessive pressure is auto matically regulated via the main valve (see Section 5.4 Cooking Times). Switch on timer (12) on the lid handle (5) and enter* the required cooking time. Heat pressure cooker to the highest energy setting. During this heating phase air escapes via the sa- fety valve (4), until the valve closes audibly and pressure can build up. The red indicator (24) on the timer (12) signals that you can* now no longer open the pot (W). The cooking indicator (1) begins to rise. You can observe this through the recess next to the coo- king indicator (I) and regulate in good time the actual energy supply. When the preset heat setting has been reached the timer (12) sounds 3 short bleeps. From now on the preset heat setting will start to count backwards (V)*. 5.4. Cooking times The timer (12) signals that cooking time* has commenced. Take care to ensure that the ring position on the cooking indicator (1) remains stable. Regulate the heat accordingly. If the cooking indicator (1) falls below the re- quired orange ring, you will have to turn up the heat again slightly. This will slightly prolong the cooking time. If the cooking indicator (1) rises above the pre- set heat setting (30c)/(30d), excess steam pres- sure will result. This will escape audibly via the main valve (3) on the lid handle (5). Remove the pot from the hob, wait until the cooking indica- tor (1) has fallen to the corresponding ring, and then replace on the hob with a reduced heat setting. Pressure cooking facilitates shorter cooking times because the steam pressure in the pot re- sults in higher temperatures. First ring, approximately 110 °C (operating pressure 45 kPa, regulating pressure 90 kPa) for delicate foods such as fish or compote Second ring, approximately 119 °C (operating pressure 95 kPa , regulating pressure 130 kPa, max. 150 kPa) for all other foods Energy-conscious users will want to turn off the heat even before the end of the cooking time, since the heat stored in the pot will suf- fice to finish the cooking process. Cooking times may differ for same foodstuffs depending on quantity, form, and composition. 5.5. Information on induction hobs The TransTherm® universal base (11) is suitable for all hob types, including induction hobs. When cooking on induction hobs a humming noise may develop if on a high heat setting. This noise has technical causes and does not indicate that either your hob or your pressure cooker is defective. The pot size must corres- pond to the size of the cooking zone. Other- wise – especially in the case of small diameters – the cooking zone (magnetic zone) may not respond to the pot base. 5.6. Opening the pot The timer (12) signals the end of the cooking time by sounding 5 short bleeps which – if you do not switch it off – is repeated up to four times. You can switch off the sound by briefly pressing the plus or minus keys (25)/(26)*. You have four ways to depressurize the pot (see next page). In principle, the lid should only be opened and removed from the pot once the pot is depressu- rised. This can be recognized by the display (24) on the timer (12) changing from red to green (flashing) (W)*. Also this means that the cooking indicator (1) must have fully disappeared into the handle (5) (J). If the red indication (24) lights up in the timer (12)*, although the cooking indicator (1) has fully disappeared in the pot, the so-called residual pressure safety device is effective. *Perfect Ultra only25 Release the same by pushing forward again the rotary knob (8) and then pulling the same back- ward again (A). Always shake briefly before opening the pot. This will release any pockets of steam from the food. These may form especially when cooking liquid or viscous foods which can spit when re- moving the lid. Now turn the lid handle (5) to the right as described previously, and lift off the lid in an upward direction.

depressurization Important note: If you have cooked foaming or expanding foods (e.g. pulses, stock, grains), you should not depressurise the pot using methods 2, 3 or 4. Jacket potatoes will burst if you release steam from the pressure cooker using Method 2, 3 or 4. When quickly releasing steam using the rotary knob or under running water, always keep your hands, head and body away from the danger area. You could otherwise be injured by escaping steam. Method 1 Remove the pot from the heat source. After a short time, the cooking indicator (1) will fall. When it has disappeared completely inside the handle (J) and the indication on the (24) timer (12)* has changed from red to green (W), turn the rotary knob (8) to the position »open/close« (30a) and pull it backwards (30b). During this procedure any remaining residual steam will escape from under the lid handle (5). When all the steam has escaped, briefly shake the pot and open. We recommend this method in particular for extended cooking times as you can use the exis- ting residual heat. Method 2 If you wish to release the steam slowly and softly, then select automatic steam-off. Turn the rotary knob (8) to the position »open/close« (30a). The steam will escape slowly from under the lid handle. When the red indicator (24) on the timer (12) has changed from red to green (W) and the co- oking indicator has disappeared fully into the pot (J), briefly shake the pot and open. Method 3 If you wish to release the steam as quickly as possible, turn the rotary knob (8) to the position »open/close« and pull it backwards for a fast steam-off (A). When the red indicator (24) on the timer (12) has changed from red to green (W) and the co- oking indicator has disappeared fully into the pot (J), briefly shake the pot and open. Method 4 If you are worried by the escaping steam, simply place the pot in the sink and run cold water over the lid (K). Take care to ensure that the timer (12)* does not get wet, otherwise it might become damaged. When the red indicator (24) on the timer (12)* has changed from red to green (W) and the co- oking indicator has disappeared fully into the pot (J), briefly shake the pot and open. DEGBESBG

7. Care and maintenance of the

pressure cooker 7.1. Cleaning Remove timer (12) from the lid handle (5) and (X) wipe* with a moist cloth. Remove the lid handle (5) and (C) rinse under running water (L). Remove the sealing ring (10) from the lid and rinse by hand. The pot, lid and inserts can be washed in the dishwasher. Food residues should not be scraped off but soaked in water. Simmer a vinegar and water solution to remove lime scale deposits. The base of the pot should also be cleaned regularly. 7.2. Storage Store the sealing ring (10) separately after cleaning in order to protect it. 7.3. Maintenance Your pressure cooker is a technical appliance and its individual parts may be subject to wear- and-tear. Therefore, after prolonged use, you should check all the individual parts in accor- dance with the spare parts list. If any changes are apparent, the parts in question must be re- placed. Only use original spare parts produced by the manufacturer. Note: Any damage to the lid handle (5) will require a factory repair by WMF.

The advantages of pressure cooking do not only apply to standard methods of food preparation: 8.1. Cooking frozen food Frozen food can be placed in the pot directly from the freezer. Meat must be defrosted slightly before browning. Vegetables can be placed in the insert straight from the packet. While the heating up times will be prolonged, cooking times will remain the same. 8.2. Cooking wholefood Wholefood often involves grains and pulses. Grains and pulses need not necessarily be soa- ked before cooking them in a pressure cooker. If they are not soaked, cooking times will be prolonged by about 50 %. As well as the minimum liquid volume of 1/4 l, at least 2 parts liquid must be added to 1 part grain/pulses . The residual heat from the hob can be used for final swelling. Remember that, when cooking foaming or expanding foods (grains, pulses), the pot can only be filled to half its capacity. 8.3. Making preserves 1 l preserving jars should be cooked in a 6.5 l or

8.5 l pressure cooker, while smaller jars should

be cooked in a 4.5 l pressure cooker. Prepare the food to be bottled as normal. Pour 1/4 l water into the pot. Place the preserving jars into the perforated insert. Cook vegetable /meat on the second orange indicator for approximately 20 minutes. Cook stoned fruit on the 1st orange indicator for approximately 5 to 10 minutes. For releasing steam allow the pot to cool down slowly (Method 1) – do not depressurize by means of the rotary knob (8) or under running wate r, as otherwise the juice will be spill out of the jars. 8.4. Juicing You can use your pressure cooker to juice small quantities of fruit. *Perfect Ultra only27 Pour 1/4 l water into the pot. Place the fruit in the perforated insert on top of the un- perforated insert; add sugar to taste. Cook using the 2

orange ring. The cooking time will be between 10 and 20 minutes, depending on the type of fruit. Depressurise the pot under running water (Me- thod 4). Shake briefly before opening. 8.5. Sterilising Baby bottles, preserving jars etc. can be quickly sterilised. Place them in the perforated insert with the opening facing downwards. Add 1/4 l water and sterilise for 20 minutes using the 2

orange ring. Allow to cool down slowly (Method 1). 8.6. Cooking with inserts Depending on the size of your pressure cooker, you can cook with inserts or a trivet. Inserts and trivets are available as accessories from your WMF dealer. You can also cook several foods simultaneously in your pressure cooker. The inserts are used to separate the individual foods. First, place the food requiring the longest cooking time in the pot (without insert). Examples Roasts (20 min) – pot base Potatoes (8 min) – perforated insert Vegetables (8 min) – unperforated insert First cook the roast for around 12 minutes. Then open the pot according to the instruc- tions. Place the potatoes in the perforated insert on the trivet, place the vegetables in the unperforated insert, close the pot and cook for a further 8 minutes. If there is no major difference in cooking times, all inserts can be placed in the pot at the same time. Opening the pot during use allows steam to es- cape. Therefore, add a little more liquid to the pot than required.
