Frequently Asked Questions - 10031206 Klarstein

How to close the cooker lid correctly?

Make sure the sealing ring is properly placed in the lid. Turn the handle clockwise until it stops. Check that the pressure valve is in the 'SEAL' position before plugging in the appliance.

Why does steam escape around the lid during cooking?

This may be due to a sealing ring that is incorrectly installed, dirty, or damaged, or a lid that is not properly closed. Clean or replace the ring and close the lid correctly. If the problem persists, contact a professional.

How to open the pressure cooker after cooking?

Never force it open until the pressure has been completely released. Wait until the float has dropped. You can speed up the process by unplugging the appliance and placing a damp cloth on the lid, or by turning the pressure valve to 'RELEASE' (beware of hot steam jets).

What is the maximum filling capacity of the inner pot?

Food and water should not exceed 4/5 of the pot volume. For foods that expand (rice, legumes), limit to 3/5 food and a maximum of 1/5 water.

How to set the delayed start?

Press the PRESET SETTING button. Each press increases the time by 0.5 hour up to 10 hours, then in increments of 1 hour up to a maximum of 24 hours. Wait for the screen to flash 8 times to confirm.

What to do if the screen shows error code E1, E2, or E3?

Code E1 indicates a defective sensor, E2 a short circuit of the sensor, E3 a faulty signal switch. In all cases, contact an authorized repair service.

How to clean the pressure cooker?

Unplug the appliance and let it cool down. Clean the inner pot with a non-abrasive sponge. The lid, sealing ring, pressure valve, and float valve can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Never immerse the base in water.

Can I use metal utensils in the inner pot?

No, only use wooden or plastic spoons to avoid damaging the non-stick coating.

How long can the keep warm function remain active?

The maximum duration is 24 hours, but it is recommended not to exceed 6 hours to preserve food flavor.

Is the pressure cooker suitable for professional use?

No, this appliance is designed for household use only (kitchens, offices, farms, hotels, etc.). It is not suitable for intensive commercial use.

Overview of the Cooking Process

1. Heating Process

It is the first process, need electric and will produce pressure, the specific working time will depend on the which type of foods and how many foods you cook which do not display on the screen. If the foods is in low level, then the heating time will be less, if there is much foods inside, it need more time for heating certainly. please note, when cooking, you should put the „pressure limited valve“ to „seal“ position, then the cooker inside can save the pressure.

2. Pressure-keeping Process

When the pressure inside reach the working requirement, the cooker will turn to pressure-keeping process from electric heating process automatically, this process depend on the pressure inside to cook, the cooking time which displayed on the screen will count down automatically.

3. Pressure Release Process

when the pressure-keeping time countdown finished, it will turn to „warm“ function, and also will release the pressure inside automatically (the cooker will be locked automatically when there is pressure inside, so you can't open it, you just can open the cooker while all the pressure release completely), this release process is slow, in general, we suggest that you wait for it, or cut off the power, and then cover the lid with a wet towel to accelerate cooling.

However, if you real want to open the lid at once, you can put the „pressure limited valve“ to „release“ position to release pressure by yourself, but please note, you should be careful, because it maybe have steam sprayed out.

Information for Safe Use

• Do put the pressure limit valve to "Seal" before using it.
• Never touch the lid when it is working, for it is very hot.
• Selecting the function, and wait 8 blinks, it turns to work automatic.
• Do not put your hands over "Release" to avoid getting burnt when it is releasing.
• Please put the cooker beyond children's reach.
• Never connect with the power supply before locking the lid.
• Nothing must be on the pressure limit valve.

Use and Operation

1. Open the lid. Hold the handle, turning in clockwise direction to the limited side, and open it.
2. Put the food and water in the inner pot. The food and water should not be more than 4/5 of the total, the easy-expanding food not more than 3/5, while, the food and water should not be less than 1/5

1. Attach the inner pot inside the thermal insulator. First, clean the outer of the inner pot, the surface of the heater and the inside of the thermal insulator; then attach the inner pot inside the thermal insulator, and make sure they have good connection.

2. Close the lid. Install the seal ring to the lid. Turn the seal ring left and right to make it a good position. Hold the handle and put it in the limited area, turning in contra-clockwise direction to lock up the lid.

1. Install the pressure limit valve, and make sure that the float is down. (It must be down before working).

To program the device step by step

1. Plug in, press Rice or other options key (or set the pressure-keeping time). 8 blinks later it tums to work automatic, and the time which displayed on the Screen stays on.
2. There is a sound when the pressure inside reaches the design one. Then, the pressure-keeping time starts to decrease by 1 min.
3. It transfers to warm keeping automatically after the pressure keeping finishes. At the same time, there are 5 sounds, and the indicator light of WARM blinks, The temperature and pressure inside are still very high at that time, meanwhile, The lid can't be opened because of itself's safety protect device
4. Wait for the pressure inside releasing and the float falling down by itself, then only open the lid.
5. Unplug and serve the food.

Important Hints

• When sticky food cooked, the pressure limit valve should not be raised before the indicator light of warm keeping stops blinking and the float falls down. Otherwise, the food will go out from the release valve needle.
• In general, we suggest you wait for the pressure releasing by itself, but this process will take some time. If you want to accelerate cooling, you can cut off the power, and cover the lid with a wet towel. If you want to release the pressure by yourself, you'd better to release the steam when the indicator light of warm keeping stays on, it indicates the pressure inside is going low. And you also should be careful because there is maybe steam goes out.
