• The recipe book that comes with your NutriCook shows you which programme to select for each recipe.

• Generally, the cooking programmes correspond to:

• However, for some recipes that mix multiple types of foods, the programme has been chosen and validated by our Chef to guarantee you the best texture and taste.

• If you wish to innovate and create your own recipes or cook ingredients that are not listed in the tables given at the end of this manual, we recommend you follow these instructions: "prog 1" for vegetables, "prog 2" for starchy foods (or recipes containing at least one starchy food), "prog 3" for meat and poultry and "prog 4" for fish and shellfish.

• Depending on the cooking programme chosen, the soft steam phase lasts : "prog 1" = 4 min, "prog 2" = 6 min, "prog 3" = 10 min, "prog 4" = 4 min.

• Cooking with frozen ingredients has no effect on the cooking programme selected.

• For soups, we recommend that you choose "prog 2". Vegetables Starches Meat Fish and Seafood prog 1 prog 2 prog 3 prog 4EN

• NutriCook is not an ordinary pressure cooker, for TEFAL has innovated how best to preserve the food's nutritional qualities and especially how to bring out the full taste of every dish prepared.

• Every cooking programme includes a soft steam phase while finishing cooking, to bring out the taste in the food. Fast and powerful when starting cooking, the steam becomes mild and moderate towards the end.

• The two cooking phases, limit the possibility of overcooking, to ensure perfect cooking with the best taste and texture, plus the optimum preservation of nutrients and vitamins.

• To make it easier to use your NutriCook, the timer is there to help and guide you through your recipes. Fitting and removing the timer

• To fit the timer (C) Fig. 7, first insert the rear part, then clip down the front part.

• To remove the timer (C), press the tab and lift it. Cooking always takes place in two phases:

• The duration of the first pressure phase is directly linked to the chosen recipe or the kind of ingredients to be cooked, and this is the time you need to programme on the timer using the – and + buttons.

• The second soft cooking phase is pre- programmed into the timer and follows on automatically. All you have to do is follow the guide.

• You can switch the timer off at any time by pressing simultaneously on both buttons.

• During cooking you can change the cooking time only if the timer is positioned on the NutriCook. During the soft steam phase, you cannot modify the cooking time. Rear part Front part Tab Never open your NutriCook before the end of the soft cooking phase, as you could stop the cooking process before the ingredients are fully cooked.
