Wait for the visual pressure indicator (VPI) to rise.
Wait until there is slight hissing as steam escapes from around the
weight regulator. This indicates that the correct cooking
temperature has been reached, start timing potatoes for 5 minutes.
9. After 5 minutes, turn the heat off
10. Some recipes call for ‘quick release’ cooking, usually to rapidly cool
down the food to prevent further cooking. To do this, lift the
pressure cooker off the hob, carefully carry it to the sink, run cold
water over the lid, avoiding the valves, and the visual pressure
indicator should drop in around 20 seconds, enabling you to unlock
the lid and remove your food.
Always remember to use oven gloves as your pressure cooker may
get hot during/after use and do not touch hot surfaces.
Place the cooker on the heat source and turn the heat to a high setting,
ensuring gas flames do not spread up the side walls of your cooker.

Place the lid on the cooker body, lining up the arrow mark on the lid
with the arrow mark on the body handle. Gently depress the lid, on
the opposite side to the lid handle, while turning the lid handle
clockwise to precisely align it with the pan body handle.
You may find that after fitting a new gasket the lid may be a little
stiff, but a thin coat of cooking oil will help.
anti-clockwise.
Press the weight assembly onto the vent tube until it clicks into
position.
Gasket Release System (GRS)
If the vent tube and SSD become blocked, pressure inside the cooker will
rise. To prevent it reaching unsafe levels the gasket is designed to 'expand'
through the slot on the lid rim opposite the handle and release pressure.
Please note that the gasket should be replaced every 12 months. Failure to
do so may result in damage to you or the pressure cooker.
Place the 15lb (103 kPa)weight onto the vent tube, make sure it clicks into
place.
