Before using your pressure cooker, please take the time

to read all the instructions and always refer to the "User guide".

Improper use may result in damage.

For your safety, this pressure cooker complies with the applicable standards and regulations:

• Pressure Equipment Directive
• Materials that come into contact with food products
• Environment*

BEFORE USE

MAKE SURE

■ that the steam release outlet (B) is not obstructed.
■ that the safety valve's locking indicator (C) is mobile
■ that the lid gasket is placed under each notch of the lid

fig 12.

■ that the lid handles are properly fastened. The lid handles are safety components. Never remove them or replace them yourself

ALWAYS ADHERE TO THE FOLLOWING FILLING QUANTITIES

• Never use your pressure cooker without liquid, as this could damage it. Make sure there's always enough liquid in the device when cooking.
  ■ Minimum quantity of liquid 250 ml/25 cl.
  ■ Maximum quantity of food 2/3 of the height of the pan, MAX 2 mark - fig 6.
• When steaming food, the food in the steam basket* must not come into contact with the water and must not exceed the MAX 2 mark on the pan - fig 5.
• For foods that swell in size and/or froth during cooking, such as rice, pulses, dried beans, stewed fruit, pumpkin, courgettes, carrots, potatoes, fish fillets, etc., the maximum filling quantity is 1/3 (MAX 1 mark).

■ Ensure close supervision if you are using the pressure cooker near children.
■ The steam is very hot when it leaves the operating valve. Be careful of jets of steam.
- Your pressure cooker cooks using pressure. Improper use may result in scalding injuries. Make sure the pressure cooker is properly closed before use. (See "Closing" section).
- During cooking, check that the valve murmurs regularly. If there is not enough steam being released, release the pressure and open the lid then check that there is sufficient liquid, and check that the steam release valve is not blocked. If there is still not enough steam being released valve, increase the heat source slightly.
■ Do not cook food that could block the vents of the safety components:

- blueberries, cranberries

- pearl barley, spelt, millet

- porridge oats

- split peas

- noodles, macaroni, spaghetti

- rhubarb

- blackcurrants, redcurrants

• When cooking large pieces of meat and food with a surface skin layer (whole sausages, tongue, poultry, etc.) : we recommend that you prick the skin using a knife or fork before cooking. During cooking, boiling liquid could become trapped under the skin and create spatters.
• Never use your pressure cooker to cook milk-based recipes (such as rice pudding, semolina pudding...).
• Never use coarse salt in your pressure cooker, only use fine salt at the end of cooking. That way you will avoid the appearance of "pitting", which could damage the base of your pressure cooker.
  ■ Never use your pressure cooker to fry under pressure using oil.
• Do not leave your pressure cooker unsupervised when heating oil or fats. Continuing to heat a smoking oil will degrade it and may increase the temperature of the oil enough for flames to appear.
• Do not use your pressure cooker for any other purpose than the one it is meant for.
  ■ Do not put your pressure cooker in a hot oven.
• Never use aluminium foil unsecured on a container in your pressure cooker. Always secure with string.
  ■ Never use cling film in your pressure cooker.

• Alcohol vapours are flammable. Bring to the boil for approximately 2 minutes before putting the lid on. Check your pressure cooker on a regular basis when cooking alcohol-based recipes.
  ■ Only use the compatible heat source(s) listed in the user guide.

• Gradually turn the operating valve (A) to adjust the pressure release speed, until it aligns with the symbol - fig 9. If, when releasing steam, you notice any food or liquid starts to spurt out, return the operating valve (A) to the position, then carry out rapid pressure release by standing the pressure cooker in a sink half filled with cold water - (refer to the "End of cooking section.).
  If the pressure indicator (D) does not go down, carry out rapid pressure release a sink half filled with in cold water - (refer to the "End of cooking section).
  ■ Never interfere with the pressure indicator.

• For foodstuffs that expand and/or foam during cooking, such as rice, pulses, dehydrated vegetables, stewed fruit, pumpkin, courgettes, carrots, potatoes, fillets of fish, etc. Let your pressure cooker cool down for a few minutes, and then carry out rapid pressure release in cold water - (refer to the section 'End of cooking). Always gently shake the pressure cooker each time before opening, after having checked that the pressure indicator has gone down to the lowered position, to prevent bubbles of steam from overflowing and burning you. This operation is particularly important when steam is released quickly or after cooling down the pressure cooker under tap water.
• Always be very careful when moving your pressure cooker under pressure. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use oven mitts when necessary. Lift using both of the handles.
  ■For soups, we recommend that you do a rapid pressure release in cold water (refer to the "End of cooking" section).
  ■Make sure the operating valve (A) is in the steam release position before opening the pressure cooker. The pressure indicator (D) should be in the lowered position.
• Never use force to open your pressure cooker. Make sure the internal pressure has been released. The pressure indicator (D) should be in the lowered position. (See “Safety” section).

If you notice that any part of your pressure cooker is broken or cracked, do not attempt to open it under any circumstances. Wait for it to cool down completely before moving it. Do not use it again and take it to a TEFAL Approved Service Centre for repair.
■ Do not tamper with the safety systems other than when following the cleaning and maintenance instructions.
■ Only use the genuine TEFAL parts that correspond to your model.
■ Do not leave food in the pressure cooker.
■ Wash and rinse your pressure cooker immediately after each use.
■ Never put the operating valve (A), the gasket (I), the cook control* (G (d)), in the dishwasher.
■ Never place the timer* (G (d)) in water.
■ Never use bleach or chlorine-based products, which could affect the quality of the stainless steel.
■ Do not let the lid soak in water.
■ Change the gasket every year, or immediately if it is split or shows signs of cracking..
■ Make sure you get your pressure cooker at a TEFAL Approved Service Centre after 10 years of use.
■ To store your pressure cooker: rest the lid upside down on the pan, to avoid premature wear of the lid's gasket.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

■ CLEANING THE PRESSURE COOKER

To ensure the correct operation of your pressure cooker, follow these cleaning and maintenance recommendations after each use:

• Wash the pressure cooker (pot and lid) after each use with warm water and washing-up liquid. Follow the same procedure for the basket*.
• Do not use bleach or chlorinated products.
• Do not overheat your pan when it is empty.

To clean the inside of the pot:

• Wash using a sponge and washing-up liquid.
• The appearance of white spots in the bottom of the pot does not affect the quality of the metal at all. These are limescale deposits. To remove them, use a sponge with a little white vinegar.

To clean the outside of the pot:

- Wash using a sponge and washing-up liquid.

To clean the lid:

- Wash the lid under a stream of warm water with a sponge and washing-up liquid and rinse well. If your model has a timer, remember to remove it before cleaning.

To clean the lid gasket:

• After each use, clean the gasket (I) and its groove.
- To replace the gasket, please refer to - Fig. 11 - 12. Make sure the gasket is fitted under each notch of the lid.

To clean the operating valve (A):

• Remove the operating valve (A), see section 'Using the operating valve'.
• Clean the operating valve (A) under the tap.

To clean the timer (G(d))

- Do not put the timer in the dishwasher. Never run the timer under water. Clean the timer with a clean cloth. Do not use solvents to clean the timer.

Wash your pressure cooker after each use.

The browning and marks which may appear following extended use do not affect the operation of the pressure cooker.

Only the pot is dishwasher-safe.

To extend the lifespan of your pressure cooker, do not overheat the pot when it is empty.

It is essential to have your pressure cooker checked at a TEFAL Approved Service Centre after 10 years of use.

To clean the steam release outlet (B):

- Remove the valve (A).

- Visually inspect against the light that the steam release outlet is round and clear of debris. See drawing opposite. If necessary, clean it with a toothpick - Fig. 10.

To clean the safety valve (C):

• Clean the part of the safety valve on the inside of the lid by placing it under running water.
• Check its correct operation by lightly pressing down on the piston, which must move freely. See drawing opposite.

To change the gasket of your pressure cooker:

• Change the gasket of your pressure cooker every year or if split or damaged.
• Always use an original genuine TEFAL gasket corresponding to your model.

To store your pressure cooker:

- Place the lid upside-down on the pot.

Never use a sharp or pointed object to carry out this operation.

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 at room temperature.
• Open the pressure cooker.
• Check and clean the operating valve (A) - Fig.13, the steam release outlet (B) - Fig.10, the safety valve (C) (see drawing opposite) and the gasket (I).

RICE: never fill pan more than one-third full including liquid as rice froths and boils up during cooking.

■ GOLDEN RULES WHEN PRESSURE COOKING (FOR UK CONSUMERS) FOR 6 LITRE, 7 LITRE AND 8 LITRE MODELS ONLY

• The minimum quantity of liquid required for normal cooking is 250 ml ( 14 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.
• 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 (Max 2 mark) Liquids and cereals e.g. soups, stews, cereal and pasta: no more than half full (MAX 2 mark).
• Foods that swell or froth during cooking e.g. dried beans and dried peas, rice, stewed fruit, compotes, pumpkin, courgette, potatoes: no more than one-third full (MAX 1 mark).
• 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 1½ pint/900 ml of boiling water for a combined steaming and cooking time of up to 1 hour. For each additional ¼ hour of cooking, or part of ¼ hour, add a further ¼ 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 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, or greaseproof paper, 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.
• Never make milk-based recipes, such as rice pudding, semolina pudding, etc, when pressure cooking.

■ FOR 3 LITRE AND 3.7 LITRE MODELS

- The golden rules on page 66 and 67 apply for 3 litre and 3.7 litre models, with the exception of cooking pulses as the quantities of pulses and water should be reduced proportionally. Due to the shallow height of 3 litre and 3.7 litres models, there is insufficient space to cook steamed suet pudding, sponge puddings and Christmas pudding, in these models as the pudding basin must not exceed the MAX 2 mark.
