IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS PAG01
6. Do not use the pressure cooker on heat sources of over 3000 W.
7. Do not use the pressure cooker to fry food.
8. When the pressure cooker is pressurised, move it very carefully.
9. Do not touch the warm surfaces. Use the handles and, if necessary, kitchen gloves or another type of
protection.
10. Keep your hands off the steam escape zones.
11. Do not force the pressure cooker opening or remove its lid without checking first if the pressure has
been released. Read the instructions about pressure release in “Using the pressure cooker” chapter.
12. Do not use the pressure cooker without any liquid inside as this practice may cause serious damage.
Read chapter “Prior to first use”.
13. Before each use, check if the valves are clear. Read chapter “Using the pressure cooker”.
14. Do not fill the pressure cooker over the 2/3 of its capacity. When cooking food that expands like rice or
dry vegetables, do not fill the pressure cooker over the half of its capacity.
15. The skin of some meats swells under the effect of pressure (e.g. beef tongue). After cooking, do not
prick the meat if it looks swollen; you may scald yourself. Prick the meat before cooking it in the pressure
cooker.
16. When making greasy foods, you should shake the pressure cooker slightly before opening the lid, this
way you will prevent food from spitting out.
17. Do not operate the safety systems more than which is recommended in the cleaning and maintenance
instructions. Read the chapter “Upkeep and maintenance”.
18. Do not use the pressure cooker when it, or any of its components, is damaged or does not correspond

PAG04 PRIOR TO FIRST USE
1. Prior to first use, remove all the labels from the pressure cooker. Wash it in hot water and washing-
up liquid. Dry it with a cloth.
2. Lubricate the sealing ring with a bit of cooking oil to facilitate the opening and closing of the
pressure cooker.
3. Make sure the steam release devices are clear.
4. Check if the selector button moves freely by rotating it.
5. Give the pressure cooker a test run using half a litre of water. Let it cook for 10 minutes after the
functioning valve starts giving off steam.

USING THE PRESSURE COOKER PAG05
Minimum Quantity:
You should not use the pressure cooker with a quantity of liquid of under 250 ml; you may damage
the pressure cooker and/or the heat source.
Maximum Quantity:
Do not fill the pressure cooker more than 2/3 of its capacity.
Never fill the pressure cooker with more than 1/2 of its capacity when cooking food that increases in volume or
form a lot of foam during cooking (beans, chickpeas, dried peas, spinach, pasta, rice, etc.)
Please note if you exceed the limit of the capacity, the steam could be released through the
functioning valve or through the edge of the lid. This could also occur if the heat source is too high.

PAG06 USING THE PRESSURE COOKER
BEFORE EACH USE
1. Check that the gasket is correctly placed on the edge of the lid. (FIG.01)
2. Check whether the functioning valve is clear: Turn the selector button to the position , remove
it and check whether the channel is clear. (FIG.02)
3. Check whether the safety valve is clear, lightly pressuring the valve piston via the interior of the
lid, with the aid of a pointed object. (FIG.03)
4. To close the pressure cooker, place the lid in such a way as to make the lid close position indicator
coincide with the close position indicator of the pressure cooker handle and turn the lid
clockwise. (FIG.04)
5. After ensuring the overlaying of the lid handles and of the pressure cooker unit (FIG.05), pull the
button to the close position until you hear a click. (FIG.06)
ONLY AFTER THE COMPLETION OF THESE OPERATIONS, THE PRESSURE COOKER WILL BE ABLE TO BE
PLACED ON THE HEAT SOURCE.

USING THE PRESSURE COOKER PAG07
(FIG.01) (FIG.02) (FIG.03)
(FIG.04)(FIG.05) (FIG.06)

PAG08 USING THE PRESSURE COOKER
DURING USE
1. Place the pressure cooker on the connected heat source.
Please note The flame or the heat source should not exceed the bottom diameter of the pressure
cooker, to ensure greater energy efficiency and avoid damaging it.
Please note When using a ceramic and / or induction hob, make sure that the hob and bottom
are clean and dry to ensure your safety. Do not drag the parts so as not to scratch the heat source.
Please note that induction heating achieves extremely high temperatures
within a few seconds, therefore it requires extra caution and vigilance.
2. Select the pressure level you wish to use:
- Position (0.5 bar): for fast cooking;
- Position (0.9 bar): for super fast cooking.
3. Start counting cooking time after checking that the steam
is coming out in constantly via the functioning valve.
4. If during the use of the pressure cooker the pressure indicator fails to rise and/or the functioning
valve does not release steam, check whether the power of the heat source is strong enough. Should
this persist, depressurise the pressure cooker and check:
- Whether the quantity of liquid inside the pressure cooker is sufficient;
- Whether the pressure cooker is closed;
- Whether the functioning valve is clear;
- Whether the silicone sealing ring and the edge of the lid are in good conditions.
Please note During the first minutes of the cooking process, it is normal if the functioning valve
does not release the steam or do it intermittently.

USING THE PRESSURE COOKER PAG09
5. If steam is released via the lid edges, via the safety valve and/or via the expansion window,
remove the pressure cooker from the heat source, depressurise it and check:
- Whether the lid is properly closed and clean;
- Whether the functioning valve is clear;
- Whether the sealing ring is clean, properly positioned and shows any sign of deterioration;
- Whether the edge of the pressure cooker unit shows any signs of deterioration which prevent the
effective adjustment of the sealing ring.
6. Do not place objects on the pressure indicator and/or functioning valve whilst the pressure cooker
is working.
7. Use the heat stored in the thermal bottom and save energy by disconnecting the heat source
before the food cooking time has terminated.
UPON COMPLETION OF USE
1. Once the cooking time has elapsed, remove the pressure cooker from the heat source and de-
pressurise it, slowly turning the selector button to the position indicated in (FIG.07), to release the
steam.
Please note that you should be extremely careful to avoid any burns which may be caused by
the steam released. Use only bakelite accessories (fig.10) and if necessary use gloves or other mean
of protection
2. When there is no more steam escaping from the operating valve, you can open the pressure
cooker, moving the button from the close to the open position until you hear a click (FIG.08); remove
the lid, turning the handle anti-clockwise. (FIG.09).
Please note that you should not force the opening of the pressure cooker until the pressure indi-
cator is totally down, as this practice can put the user in danger and damage the cooker.

PAG10 USING THE PRESSURE COOKER
3. Wash the pressure cooker immediately after its use in plentiful water and washing-up liquid to
prevent the eroded by the cooking of salty or acidic foods. You can wash the pressure cooker in the
dishwasher, removing the sealing ring first.
- Do not store cooked food in the pressure cooker, to avoid damaging it
4. If you burned the food during the cooking process: Leave the pressure cooker to rest in water and
some washing-up liquid for a few minutes before washing it.
5. For more thorough cleaning:
- Remove the sealing ring and wash it.
- Remove the selector button and rinse under the tap via the functioning valve (FIG.11).
Reset the selector button and check whether the system has been properly assembled. This shall be
easy to move. Please note that an improper assembly may make the operation of the function-
ing valve difficult or even stop it from working, obliging the safety valve to operate.
- Check whether the safety valve is clear, lightly pressing the valve piston via the interior of the lid
with the aid of a pointed object.
- Periodically check the tightness of the pressure cooker long handle screws, using a screwdriver and
turning it clockwise until it can no longer turn.
6. Once cleaned and dried, put the pressure cooker away without its lid on to avoid deformations to
the sealing ring. (FIG.12)
(FIG.07) (FIG.08) (FIG.09)

USING THE PRESSURE COOKER PAG11
(FIG.10)(FIG.11)
Keep your pressure cooker in good working order for longer:
1. Do not heat the pressure cooker when it is empty.
2. The salty cooking water and the water with washing-up liquid shall not remain in the pressure
cooker for long time periods.
3. Make a revision in the after-sales service of Silampos:
