1. IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
• Read all instructions carefully before
using our pressure cooker for the first
time. Do not permit persons who are
not familiar with the instructions for
use to use the cooker. When giving the
cooker to another person, always
include the instructions for use.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use han-
dles or knobs.
• Close supervision is necessary when
the pressure cooker is used near chil-
dren.
• Do not place the pressure cooker in a
heated oven as this would destroy the
plastic and rubber parts and safety
mechanism.
• Extreme caution must be used when
moving a pressure cooker containing
hot liquids.
• Do not use the pressure cooker for
other than intended use, those stated
in the instructions.
• This appliance cooks under pressure.
Improper use may result in scalding
injury. Make certain unit is properly
closed before operating. See “Chapter
7”. Never use your pressure cooker
when the lid is not firmly closed!
• Do not fill the unit over 2/3 full. When
cooking foods that expand during
cooking such as rice or dried vegeta-
bles, do not fill over 1/2 full. Over fill-
ing may cause a risk of clogging the
vent pipe and developing excess pres-
sure. Use the fill level indicator and
observe “Chapter 7”.
• Be aware that certain foods, such as
applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley,
oatmeal or other cereals, split peas,
noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, or
spaghetti can foam, froth, and sputter,
and clog the pressure release device
(steam vent). These foods should not
be cooked in a pressure cooker.
• Always check the pressure release
devices for clogging or other damage
before use. See “Chapter 7”.
• Do not open the pressure cooker until
the unit has cooled and all internal
pressure has been released. If the han-
dles are difficult to push apart, this
indicates that the cooker is still pres-
surized – do not force to open. Any
pressure in the cooker can be haz-
ardous. See “Chapter 8”.

• Do not use this pressure cooker for
pressure frying with oil. When used
for deep-frying, fill the pressure cook-
er only to half its capacity with oil,
and do not cover it. See “Chapter 7”.
• When the normal operating pressure
is reached, turn the heat down so all
the liquid, which creates the steam,
does not evaporate. Reduced liquid
might affect the cooking times.
Cooking without any liquid might
damage cooker and hob.
• Only use the pressure cooker with the
heat sources described in this user
manual (see chapter 2).
• Pressure cookers may not be used for
medical purposes, such as sterilisa-
tion, as they are not designed to reach
temperature levels required for steril-
isation.
• Do not in any way alter or interfere
with the safety mechanisms, except to
carry out maintenance tasks described
in the instructions for use. Do not
repair or oil the valves! Use only orig-
inal Fissler replacement parts that fit
your cooker model (see chapter 11) to
ensure that it will function properly
and safely.
• Replace wear and tear parts such as
the rubber gasket, the O-ring of the
valve base and the O-ring of the
Euromatic approx. every 400 cooking
cycles, or latest after two years with
original Fissler parts. Parts that show
visible damage (cracks, deformation)
or discoloration, or that have become
brittle must be replaced without delay.
Non-compliance can seriously com-
promise the performance and safety of
the cooker.
• Never install parts from other manu-
facturers in your Fissler pressure
cooker.
• Ensure that you only use your Fissler
pressure cooker with the Fissler pres-
sure cooker lid of the same model.
• Never heat up your pressure cooker
without adding liquid, as this could
result in damage to the cooker or the
hob from overheating. In certain
extreme cases of overheating, the alu-
minium in the base may melt and liq-
uefy. In the event of such overheating,
never remove the cooker from the
hob: otherwise, there is a risk of burns
caused by hot aluminium spillage.
Switch off the hob and allow the pres-
sure cooker to cool down. Ventilate the
room.
