PURPOSE OF USE
■ The electric pressure cooker is intended for cooking meals at high
pressure, which enables the cooking time to be reduced by more
than half, whilst retaining flavours and aromas of the cooked meal.
■ The pressure cooker can be used for cooking meals such as soups,
rice, stewed meals, goulash and all other meals that can be cooked
in standard pressure cookers or in stew pots. Furthermore, it enables
the cooking of legumes (beans, chickpeas, etc.) without pre-soaking
and it is also suitable for cooking healthier meals.
■ The pressure cooker can be used either in automatic mode by
selecting one of 15preset programs without having to perform
any other settings or in manual mode where the cooking time and
temperature can be set based on your needs and experience.
■
Afurther function of the cooker is delayed cooking; an automatic or
manually set function for keeping ameal warm after it has finished
cooking; or cooking with the lid open.
Attention:
This appliance is not intended to be operated using
an external timer switch or aremote control system.
BEFORE FIRST USE
■ Open the lid A1 as described in chapter OPENING THE LID OF ACOLD
PRESSURE COOKER. Take out the inner pot A10 and, together with
accessories A16 to A19, thoroughly wash in warm water using
neutral kitchen detergent.Then rinse them with clean water and dry
them thoroughly with afine wiping cloth.The inner pot can also be
washed in adishwasher.
■ Wipe the inside of the built-in outer pot A11 with alightly dampened,
soft wiping cloth and then wipe dry using adry, clean wiping cloth.
CORRECTLY HANDLING THE LID
OPENING THE LID OF ACOLD PRESSURE COOKER
■ Rotate the handle A9 anticlockwise all the way to the symbol and
then press button A3. If the pressure cooker is connected to the
mains power supply and in stand-by mode, the melody for “OPEN”
is played and the open lid indicator B12 is lit.
OPENING THE LID DURING AND AFTER COOKING
■
When cooking and after finishing cooking, it is only possible to open
the lid once the steam is released from inside the pressure cooker.
When it is not possible to rotate the handle A9 (the steam symbol
B13 is lit or flashing), it means that there is still steam inside the
pressure cooker, the temperature of which still presents adanger to
you. If this happens, hold down button B4 (Add ingredients). Steam
will be continuously emitted from the steam valve A7 and indicator
B13 will flash. When indicator B13 turns off, four dashes will be
shown on the display. The lid can now be opened.

- 10 - 06/2019 Copyright © 2019, Fast ČR, a.s.
Warning:
When releasing steam, keep away from the escaping
steam to avoid being scalded. Never place your hands,
arms or face in the vicinity of the steam release valve
A7 when it is releasing steam.
Attention:
When cooking food such as porridge or edible
seaweed, never release the steam by pressing button
B4 (Add ingredients), but rather allow the pressure
cooker to automatically release the pressure itself.
■
When all the steam has been released, first visually check the position
of the safety float valve indicator A8, see chapter FUNCTION OF
THE SAFETY FLOAT VALVE. If the safety float valve indicator A8 is
level with the hole in the cover, open the lid in the same way as on
acold pressure cooker.
CLOSING THE LID
■
Before closing the lid A1 always first check whether the lid A2 of the
inner pot is seated in position including the gasket C2 and the steam
valve cover C3. All these parts must be clean.
■ Push the lid down. Aproperly closed lid is indicated by an audible
click sound. Rotate the handle A9 clockwise all the way to the symbol
. If the pressure cooker is connected to the mains power supply
and in stand-by mode, the melody for“closed”is played, four dashes
appear on the display and the closed lid indicator B11 is lit.
FUNCTION OF THE SAFETY FLOAT VALVE
■ When the temperature and pressure inside the pressure cooker
reaches acertain value during the cooking process, the steam will
push the safety float valve D2 out the hole in the lid E3. The valve
will then push the indicator A8 out of the hole in the cover A7. At
the same time, the mechanism that locks the lid in place is activated
and prevents the lid from being opened. Thereby, the valve serves as
asafety mechanism that prevents the lid from being opened during
the cooking process and the indicator serves as avisual guide that
there is pressure inside the closed pressure cooker.
■ Before opening the lid A1, always first visually check the position of
the indicator A8. If the indicator is extended out of the hole in the
lid, then there is still pressure inside the pressure cooker. Wait until
the indicator retracts into the hole of the valve cover A7. Only then
may the lid be opened.
Warning:
When the indicator A8 is extended out of the hole in
the lid, never handle the pressure cooker or move it
around, rather always wait until
Note:
In the event that the indicator and thereby the safety float
valve does not retract into the hole in the lid even after
avery long time. (e.g. an hour or more) from the time
that the pressure cooker is turned off and steam has been
released and the pressure cooker unit is already cold, then
it is possible that the valve may have jammed, e.g. by the
effect of jammed food or due to the valve sticking to the lid
with food. If this occurs, then carefully open the lid in the
same way as with acold pressure cooker. When opening
the lid, as aprecaution, stand in such away that no part of
your body may be scalded.
OTHER SAFETY ELEMENTS OF THE PRESSURE COOKER
■ As soon as the pressure inside exceeds 110kPa, the pressure cooker
will automatically release steam through the valve D3. At the same
time, the valve is protected against being soiled by food by means
of the cover C3.
■ If the pressure inside the pressure cooker is high and is unsafe for
the user, it will not be possible to open the lid.
■ If the lid is not properly closed, the pressure cooker will not permit
the cooking process to start. The only exception are programs Fry
or Pasta, which enable cooking with the lid open.
■
If the removable inner pot A10 is not inserted, it will not be possible
to start the cooking process.
■
The temperature sensor D4 monitors the temperature inside the
pressure cooker and automatically adjusts the temperature of
the cooking process. If for any reason the temperature inside the
pressure cooker were to exceed acertain limit, the pressure cooker
will automatically disconnect the power supply and will not permit
cooking to continue.
■ In the event of overvoltage from the mains power supply, afuse will
disengage the circuit and thereby protect the electrical system of
the pressure cooker against damage.
PREPARING FOR COOKING
■ Place the pressure cooker on an even, rigid surface. Do not place the
pressure cooker on metal underlays.
■ Open the lid A1 as described in chapter CORRECT HANDLING OF
THE LID.
■ Make sure that the inside of the built-in outer pot A11 including the
hotplate A13 is clean and free of any food remains.
■ Place the removable pot A10 into the built-in outer pot A11 and
gently turn it to both sides to ensure that it is seated on the hotplate.
■ Place the ingredients and water if necessary into the removable pot
A10 so that the entire contents do not go over the MAX mark shown
on the inside of the pot. To ensure its proper operation and prevent
its damage, the pot must be filled up to at least the bottom mark on
the scale. In the event that the edges or the outer parts of the built-in
outer pot A11 or the inner pot A10 are soiled, clean them thoroughly.
■ Close the lid as described in chapter CLOSING THE LID.
TURNING ON THE PRESSURE COOKER
■ Insert the plug of the power cord A15 all the way into the connection
socket A6 on the side of the pressure cooker. Connect the power cord
plug to apower socket.The pressure cooker will play amelody and
switch to stand-by mode.
STAND-BY MODE
■ The stand-by mode means that the pressure cooker is ready for use.
If the lid is locked, the display will show four dashes and the locked
lid indicator B11 will be lit. If the lid is unlocked, the display will
show the text“OPEN”and the unlocked lid indicator B12 will be lit.
■ Set the pressure cooker to stand-by mode after connecting it to the
power supply or by pressing button B2 (Cancel/Keep Warm) at any
time while the pressure cooker is running.
COOKING
Attention:
Before and during cooking, always check that the
steam valve cover A7 is not covered, e.g. by awiping
cloth.
AUTOMATIC COOKING USING PRESET PROGRAMS
