Safety

Your pressure cooker is fitted with several safety devices:

- Closing safety:

- If the appliance is not properly closed, the pressure indicator (D) cannot rise and the pressure cooker cannot build pressure.

- Opening safety:

- If the pressure cooker is under pressure, the release button (E) cannot be operated. Never open the pressure cooker by force. Above all, do not interfere with the pressure indicator (D).

- Two safety devices against overpressure:

- First device: the safety valve (C) releases the pressure and steam escapes horizontally from the top of the lid - Fig.14 - Second device: the gasket (I) permits steam to escape vertically from the small hole located on the edge of the lid or along the side of the pot - Fig.15. Caution, this may extinguish the flame on a gas hob.

If one of the overpressure safety systems is triggered:

• Turn off the heat source.
• Leave the pressure cooker to cool completely.
• Open the pressure cooker.
• Check and clean the operating valve (A)- Fig.13, the steam release outlet (B) - Fig.10, the safety valve (C) and the gasket (I). See drawing opposite.

** Food in the steam basket*
*** Food in the water
**** Not available in some countries
RICE: never fill pan more than half full including liquid as rice froths and boils up during cooking. Use 225 g rice and 1.75 litre water from a boiling kettle.

Golden rules when pressure cooking (for UK Consumers)

For 6 Litre models only.

• The minimum quantity of liquid required for normal cooking is 250 ml ( 12 pint) for the first 14 hour cooking. For each additional 14 hour, or part of 14 hour, add a further 150 ml ( 14 pint) of liquid. For example, 45 minutes cooking requires 600 ml (1 pint) of liquid. Note: This is only a general guide. Certain foods, such as rice, pulses, steamed puddings and Christmas puddings may require extra water (see text below).
• When steaming foods in the basket use a minimum of 750 ml (1¼ pint) water in the cooker.
• Always use a liquid that gives off steam when boiled e.g. water stock, wine, beer, cider. Never use oil or fat. All pressure cooking requires some liquid.
• Whatever the size of pressure cooker, the maximum filling level when all the ingredients and liquid have been added are:

Solid foods e.g. vegetables, meat joints: no more than two-thirds full Liquids and cereals e.g. soups, stews, rice, cereal and pasta: no more than half full

Pulses e.g. dried beans and dried peas: no more than one-third full

- When cooking pulses they swell up and tend to froth up. Use 1.2 litres (2 pints) water for every 450g (1 lb) pre-soaked weight of pulses. Remember all dried peas and dried beans, must be soaked in boiling water for 1 hour before cooking. Drain, rinse thoroughly and cook in fresh water. Never eat uncooked beans or peas. Soaking is not necessary for red lentils. The high temperatures achieved in the pressure cooker ensure that any natural toxins in the pulses are destroyed. Canned beans and pulses can simply be drained and rinsed before adding to the pressure cooker.

- For steamed suet puddings, sponge puddings or Christmas puddings, a short pre-steaming time is best to enable the raising agent to activate and prevent a heavy, close texture. Extra liquid is required so use a minimum of 1 12 pint/900 ml of boiling water for a combined steaming and cooking time of up to 1 hour. For each additional 1 14 hour of cooking, or part of 1 14 hour, add a further 1 14 pint/150 ml of boiling water. Pre-steaming is done with the operating valve in the steam release position on a low heat for the required time. Then turn the operating valve

to either 📄 or 🌐 and increase the heat to bring to full pressure. Lower the heat and pressure cook for the required time.

- Pressure operates at 50kPa (7 psi / 7lbs pressure) and pressure at 80kPa (12 psi / 12lbs pressure).

• Never cook dumplings with the lid tightly closed, as they could rise up and block the safety devices. Cook the stew and at the end of cooking, release the steam and cook gently for about 10 - 15 minutes without the lid on.
• Pressure cooking times vary according to the size of individual pieces or thickness of the food, not the weight.
• To prevent discolouration of the interior, caused by mineral deposits in hard water areas, add a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar.
• Cooking containers must withstand temperatures of 130°C (250°F). Any covering on containers, e.g. foil, greaseproof paper or cling film, must be securely tied otherwise they could block the safety devices. Do not use plastic lids as they prevent steam from being in contact with the food. Also, they could distort and come off during cooking which could block the safety outlets.
• Accurate timing is essential when pressure cooking to prevent overcooking, especially with vegetables, fruit and fish.
