Health and wellbeing through innovation

Cooking with a pressure cooker is different from conventional methods of food preparation.

Rice and vegetables are cooked more quickly, acquiring a more intense flavour. The steaming function also enables chicken and fish to be even more vitamin-rich after cooking.

It preserves the nutrients and natural flavours of the food to be conserved, and prevents the build up of harmful compounds.

In order to keep a healthy, balanced diet it is best to use the freshest ingredients.

Take the collecting vessel for condensation out of the device. Push on the slots under the black hind side of the device. Do this in reverse when you would like to take the vessel out for cleaning.

Opening and closing the lid

Before opening the lid latch, make sure that the cooking process is finished, or press the Warm/Cancel button to finish the programme.

There are two ways to release the pressure from the bowl:

- FAST STEAM PRESSURE RELEASE:

Move the steam vent left and right in the ,STEAM OUT' position and wait for the steam to be released until the float valve goes down.

Caution: During fast steam pressure release, keep your face, hands and other body parts away from the steam vent. The steam is very hot and can cause scalding. Never pull the steam vent out whilst the steam is still being released.

Please note that the fast steam pressure release is not suitable for dishes that are cooked in a lot of liquid or contain a lot of starch (such as soup, porridge or broth), as the liquid can spray out with the steam. Leave the food to evaporate slowly.

- SLOW STEAM PRESSURE RELEASE:

Leave the device in Keeping Warm Mode until the float valve goes under. This takes 10 to 15 minutes. This process will become quicker if a wet dishcloth is placed over the lid.

-OPENING THE LID:

Hold the lid firmly by the handle and turn the lid about 30 degrees anti-clockwise to the left, until the mark on the lid and the mark on the casing are no linger aligned. Then pick up the lid in order to open it. In order to prevent a vacuum building up under the lid and causing suction, turn the steam vent in the 'STEAM OUT' direction. Taking off the lid will release air back into the bowl.

Caution: Only open the lid when there is no more pressure in the bowl and when the steam vent is in the 'STEAM OUT' position.

Whilst the float valve is elevated, the lid is locked for safety reasons and cannot be opened. Check that the steam vent and the air vent on the valve cover are not blocked. Make sure that the sealing ring is securely located inside the inner lid, that the valve cover is correctly fitted and the float valve is able to move up and down easily. If the float valve is stuck in food waste or other foreign objects, it can be removed by pressing a pen or other sharp object in there.

Closed lid position Open lid position Steam exhaust outlet Float valve

Inserting the inner bowl into the device

No foreign object should be located on the outside of the inner bowl or the hotplate. Dry wipe it before use. Put the inner bowl into the device and turn it back and forth. This will ensure that the inner bowl is securely placed and is in good contact with the hotplate.

Filling the device with food and liquids

Food and liquids should never exceed the maximum fullness point marked on the inner bowl. The device should never be filled more than two thirds. When preparing food that will expand in volume such as rice, beans or porridge, the device should never be filled over halfway point. If the maximum capacity is exceeded, the vent can become blocked and too much pressure can build up. The food being prepared can also escape out of the side and damage the device.

After pressing an option button, the indicator light will turn on.

You have 5 seconds after pressing the button to press other option buttons and to change the cooking time. You can change the cooking time with the +/- button. Press and hold the + or - button to switch between the options more quickly. The expected time is shown on the display.

The preset cooking times are for standard dishes.

Determine your cooking times for different foods, quantities and consistencies according to your recipes. The cooking will automatically begin after 5 seconds, after a button is pressed. On the LED display, the preset time will be shown.

The device will then preheat. Advice: Depending on food, quantity and temperature (whether frozen or not), preheating can last up to 17 minutes.

It is normal that, due to the increasing pressure in the device, some steam will be released from the steam outlet until the outlet rises up.

As soon as the cooker has built up enough steam, the cooking time shown on the display will end. The remaining time will be displayed in minutes. When it has built up pressure, the lid should not at any point release steam. However, it is possible that some light vapour or small splashes will be released from the steam regulator. This is normal.

During the cooking time, the cooker will make quiet clicking noises.

This is normal and is caused by the hotplate turning on and off during usage.

You can cancel the current cooking programme at any point and put it in Standby mode. Press the Warm/Cancel button.

At the end of the pressure cooking programme an acoustic signal will be heard and the cooker will automatically switch to Keeping Warm mode.

After remaining in this mode for 24 hours, the pressure cooker will automatically switch to Standby mode.

It is not recommended to keep cooked food warm for more than 6 hours, as this can ruin the taste and consistency of the food.

To take out the food, press the Warm/Cancel button and open the lid, as described in the ,opening the lid' section.

When opening the lid, it is possible that the inner bowl seems to stick to the lid due to suction. This is due to air contracting whilst cooking.

Turn the air regulator to the Steam Out position, so that air flows in the bowl and the vacuum is released.

Cake

Fill up the water to the minimum level (2) in the inner bowl.

Put the cake tin on the included stainless steal grid in the inner bowl.

Then close the lid of the pressure cooker as described before.

Please note that the cake expands, so fill up to half of the cake tin with dough. Use fat and flour so that the dough does not stick in the tin.

The baking insert is not completely sealed, so that excess heat can be released during the cooking process.

Choose the ,Cake' menu. The standard time is set to 45 minutes, but can be extended to up to 2 hours with the +/- button.

When the preset time is over, do not let the pressure cooker evaporate but leave it to cool slowly.

Carefully open the lid and take out the cake tin with an oven cloth or oven gloves, as the tin becomes very hot.

Yoghurt

To prepare yoghurt, we recommend using UHT milk at a temperature of 38^ C. Fresh, soya, raw, certified or lactose free milk should be heated to near boiling point and then cooled to 38^ C. According to manu-facturer's instructions, carefully stir a packet of yoghurt powder or cultures into the milk. With lactose free milk, use 1 tbsp of cane sugar.

Put this mixture in a glass holder or yoghurt container (not included in packaging). Milk and cultures can, however, also go directly into the inner bowl.

Put a cup of water into the inner bowl and put the yoghurt mixture holder in the inner bowl. Close the lid and turn on the yoghurt programme.

Change the time with the + and - buttons (according to the instructions given for the cultures).

The completed yoghurt should be left to mature in the fridge.

A few spoonfuls of the ready yoghurt can be preserved and kept for making new yoghurt later on.

6. Cleaning and maintenance

• Keep the plug away from the mains!
• Before cleaning the device: leave to cool after use!
• Only pour out the water after it has cooled down in order to avoid scalding!
• Never put the device in water, as it can be damaged!
• The inner bowl, removable inner lid, steamer function and cake tin are dishwasher-proof!
• Dry parts thoroughly before using them again!
• Do not use scourers or aggressive liquids such as benzene or acetone to clean the device!

CLEANING THE SAFETY DEVICES:

As well as the seal, the safety devices must also be cleaned after every use.

SAFETY VENT:

To take out the safety vent, it must be pulled up, so that the spring-assisted back up pressure relief can be released.

Wash the vent with a mild washing-up liquid and warm water.

After cleaning, check that the spring-assisted back up pressure relief can move freely. Put the safety vent back on the opening.

The pressure cooker does not require much maintenance. It does include any parts which need waiting for. Please do not attempt to repair the device yourself. Contact customer service for advice from qualified professionals.

CLEANING:

Unplug the power cable from the socket after use.

Wait until the device has completely cooled down before cleaning.

The pressure cooker must be thoroughly cleaned after each use in order to avoid staining through food build-up or cooking residue.

NEVER FILL A HOT COOKER WITH COLD WATER!

Advice: To guarantee that the pressure cooker will be used safely, follow the cleaning and maintenance advice carefully.

If a small piece of food is left inside the unit, this can mean that a safety function may not work in the future.

IMPORTANT:

Always take off the steam vent and clean the opening thoroughly in order to avoid blockage or clogging.

This must be followed after every use!

The cooking bowl and lid must be cleaned after every use.

The inner lid is removable.

Clean the cooking bowl, lid and inner lid under hot flowing water.

Use a mild liquid washing up liquid and a gentle cloth or sponge to clean.

Do not use abrasives, soda or bleach. Do not use scourers.

Wipe the base unit of the pressure cooker after every use with a gentle, damp cloth or sponge to remove food leftovers. Never place the base unit in water!

Whilst cleaning the inner lid, the rubber seal must be removed and cleaned separately with a sponge or gentle cloth and warm soapy water.

Pull out the plug and let the pressure cooker cool to room temperature before cleaning.

Wash the removable bowl with warm soapy water and a gentle cloth or sponge. Wash it with clean water and dry it.

Take out the rubber seal from the underside of the inner lid.

Wash all parts with warm soapy water and with a gentle cloth or sponge.

The rubber seal must always be firmly fixed on the underside of the lid. Check it frequently in order to ensure that it is clean, flexible and not damaged. If the rubber seal is broken, do not use the device.

Wipe the outer casing with a gentle, damp cloth or sponge (glass cleaner makes it shine).

Never use aggressive chemical cleaning products, scourers or abrasives on any parts.

Check that the steam vent and the opening are in good condition and not dirty.

Check that the valve cover (blockage protection) is not blocked or dirty.

Advice: The rubber seal must be replaced every year (or whenever necessary). The rubber seal also needs to be changed if the pressure cooker is not used for a long time.

When not used, the rubber seal can harden, and this means that an air-tight seal for the cooker is not guaranteed. The rubber seal can only be replaced by another suitable one. Only use original parts to replace it.
