FUNCTIONS
1. This pressure cooker is designed for household use.The lid and the body are made of 18/8 steel, which is nice and durable; the bottom consists of two layers and is
suitable for induction, electricity, glass ceramics and gas.
1. The safety is provided by several safety devices (fig.9)
• Regulator: There are two levels available: one 100 kPa operating pressure level and one pressure release level.
• Safety valve:The safety valve automatically checks the inner pressure. If the inner pressure is lower than the safety opening pressure, the valve will drop. Then it’s safe
to open the lid. If the cooker is pressurized inside, the valve spindle will rise and a red cap will appear in the handle opening.The safety valve automatically releases the
pressure to allow safety cooker use. If the lid is not secured correctly, the internal pressure will not rise and the safety valve will just release steam - stop heating then
and close the lid properly.
• Safety window: There is a safety window on the lid’s side. This window will release steam if the regulator and the safety valve cannot work correctly or if there is too
much steam inside. Ensure the cooker safety.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Before using this pressure cooker for the first time
1. For safety reasons, please read this user’s manual carefully before first use.This applies to“safety instructions”in particular.
2. Fill the pressure cooker with cold water to 1/2, close the lid and start heating until steam starts to escape from the control valve. Remove the pressure cooker from the
kitchen range and allow it to stand closed for about 10 minutes to eliminate odour from a new product.
3. When the cooker has cooled down, open the lid. Pour the water out and clean and dry the cooker.
Normal operation
1. Make sure the vent tube is not blocked. If the tube is choked, clean it with a small stick. Make sure the safety valve to prevent opening is clean and flexible.The gasket
seat should be positioned correctly.
2. The cooker must be filled with water or other liquid to at least 1/4 volume for the steam to be produced during operation. Foods or water must not exceed 2/3 of the
cooker volume. If the foods are swelling in cooking, they must not exceed 1/2 volume.
3. Closed lid:Turn the handle in the arrow direction.“PA”sound will be made indicating complete lid closing. If necessary, you can facilitate closing and opening the lid
by pressing with your hand (fig.10).

Heating
1. When relocating and placing a pressure cooker, use the handles provided for this purpose to avoid scalding or other hazards.
2. The pressure cooker must stand on flat surface.The cooking range plate diameter must not lap over the cooker diameter.While using the gas kitchen range, make sure
the cooker is not surrounded by flames. For all types of applicable heaters – gas, electric, glass-ceramic and induction, follow the instructions.
3. To make the temperature rise quickly and start the regulator operation, use powerful fire for heating, see Safety instructions, Clause 7. After heating for a while, steam
will begin to escape from the safety valve which is a normal state. If the safety valve is working under normal conditions, no steam should be escaping. If steam is
escaping from the regulator while it’s working (please calculate the heating time now), please set the heat source to the lowest level to achieve maximum energy
savings during cooking. If the regulator stops releasing the steam during cooking, please increase the heat amount. If the regulator is releasing the steam too fast,
please reduce the heat amount.
• Check the valve before use (for blocking).
• Make sure the valve is clean before use.
• While cooking gluey foods (make sure they are not too much gluey), shake the cooker lightly to ensure uniform distribution.This applies in particular to cooking beans
etc.
• If you are cleaning the safety valve parts, please strictly observe the instructions for use and do not attempt to disassemble the valve by yourself.
• Do not replace the part by yourself; if your need to replace any part, please contact your dealer.
• If the red safety valve suddenly rises during opening and closing and the lid cannot be closed or open easily, please press the red safety valve down to release the
closing and opening function. Your new pressure cooker has been designed and manufactured by strict Nanlong standards of reliability, easy handling and operation
safety.With proper care, it will give you many years of reliable service.
• Heating
While moving and laying this pressure cooker down, you should grip the short bottom handle or rails with one hand depending on the cooker type, grip the long
bottom handle with the other and avoid holding one side only to prevent damage to the components.
• This pressure cooker must be put on a flat surface.
• To stop cooking in the cooker
When the heating time has elapsed, please remove the cooker from the heating source.The safety valve will drop (this stage belongs in the cooking time).
