procedure may result in personal injury and/or damage to the appliance.
13. Be aware that some foods such as applesauce, cranberries, croup, oatmeal or
other cereals, peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb or spaghetti may foam and crack,
thus clogging the pressure relief device (vent). These foods should not be cooked
in the pressure cooker or only under supervision.
14. When pressure cooking, always have plenty of liquid in the pot.
15. Always check the pressure relief device for blockages before use.

5
16. Do not open the pressure cooker until it has cooled down and all internal
pressure has been released. If the handle is difficult to release, it means the pot
is still under pressure - do not force it open. Any pressure in the pot can be
dangerous. See Operating Instructions. Str. 16
17. Do not use this pressure cooker for frying with oil, only for oil frying.
18. DO NOT expose the product to flammable materials and DO NOT use it in a

WARNING REGARDING THE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
WARNING: Avoid serious injury. Always use tongs or a
long kitchen tool to adjust the valve to the "VENTING"
position (Figure 5).
BEWARE HOT STEAM: KEEP YOUR HANDS AND FACE
AWAY FROM THE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE WHEN
SETTING IT TO THE "VENTING" POSITION.
BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Remove packaging materials such as cardboard, plastic or polystyrene and
dispose of properly.
2. Clean all parts with a soft damp cloth or sponge and dry thoroughly.
3. Wash the cooking pot thoroughly in the dishwasher or with warm, soapy water.
Rinse, wipe or allow to dry and place in a pressure cooker.
ASSEMBLY OF THE COVER:
1. How to open the lid: Hold the
handle (1) firmly and press the
red button to release the lid (22),
turn the lid (2) clockwise until it
releases and lift the lid (2) vertically then lift off and remove
(Figure 8).
Remark: On new units, the lid seal (2) may be slightly thicker than normal and the
lid may therefore be difficult to release. Once the lid (2) has been opened and
closed several times, the seal will loosen.
2. How to close the lid: Check the rubber sealing ring (18) inside the lid (2) and
Figure 5
Figures 6-

and LOCK CLOSED and arrow marks on the lid (2) and main body (13).
WATER TEST
To check that the rubber sealing ring (18) is fitted correctly for the first time, we
recommend that you read the following instructions and fill the inner pot (6) with
water to 2/3 of its capacity and program the pot to the program - Beans/Chilli -
cooking for 30 minutes. When finished, pour off the water. Rinse and wipe dry the
inner pot (6). The pressure cooker is now ready for use.
SAFETY LID LOCK
Remark: This appliance has a built-in safety feature that prevents all functions
from being activated if the lid (2) is not properly locked.
The cooking function cannot be selected if the lid (2) is not properly locked. The
display will show "LID" and beep continuously until the lid (2) is properly locked.
You will not be able to select the cooking function. This prevents the appliance
from cooking without properly securing the lid. The REST and SLOW COOK
functions will still work as this function does not use the lid (2).
