BEFORE AND
DURING
COOKING
Ensure close supervision if you are using the pressure cooker near
children.
The steam is very hot when it leaves the operating valve. Be
careful of jets of steam.
Your device cooks using pressure. Improper use may result in
scalding injuries. Make sure the pressure cooker is properly closed
before use. (See “Closing” section).
During cooking, check that the valve murmurs regularly. If there
is not enough steam being released, release the pressure and
open the lid then check that there is sufficient liquid, and check
that the steam release duct is not blocked. If there is still not
enough steam being released, increase the heat source slightly.
Do not cook food that could block the ducts of the safety
components:
- blueberries, cranberries
- pearl barley, spelt, millet
- oat flakes
- split peas
- noodles, macaroni, spaghetti
- rhubarb
- blackcurrants, redcurrants
When cooking large pieces of meat and food with a surface skin
layer (whole sausages, tongue, poultry, etc.) : we recommend that
you prick the skin using a knife or fork before cooking. During
cooking, boiling liquid could become trapped under the skin and
create spatters.
Never use your pressure cooker to cook milk-based recipes (such
as rice pudding, semolina pudding…).
Never use coarse salt in your pressure cooker, only use fine salt
at the end of cooking. That way you will avoid the appearance
of “pitting”, which could damage the base of your pressure
cooker.
Never use your pressure cooker to fry under pressure using oil.
Do not leave your pressure cooker unsupervised when heating oil
or fats. Continuing to heat a smoking oil will degrade it and may
increase the temperature of the oil enough for flames to appear.
Do not use your pressure cooker for any other purpose than the
one it is meant for.
Do not put your pressure cooker in a hot oven.
Never use aluminium foil unsecured on a container in your
pressure cooker. Always secure with string.
Never use cling film in your pressure cooker.
Alcohol vapours are flammable. Bring to the boil for
approximately 2 minutes before putting the lid on. Check your
pressure cooker on a regular basis when cooking alcohol-based
recipes.
Only use the compatible heat source(s) listed in the user guide.

2
AFTER
COOKING
For models with a non-stick coating: do not use whisks or sharp
utensils made of metal. Do not tap the rim of the pan to remove
food from utensils, as it could damage it and cause leaks.
Steadily turn the operating valve (A) to adjust the
decompression speed, and finish opposite the pictogram mark
- fig 10. If, when releasing steam, you notice any food or
liquid starts to spurt out, return the operating valve (A) to the
“Pressure Cooking” position, then carry out fast decompression
in cold water - (refer to the “End of cooking in ‘Pressure Cooking’
mode” section.).
If the pressure indicator (D) does not go down, carry out fast
decompression in cold water - (refer to the “End of cooking in
‘Pressure Cooking’ mode” section).
Never interfere with the pressure indicator.
For foodstuffs that expand and/or foam during cooking, such
as rice, pulses, dehydrated vegetables, stewed fruit, pumpkin,
courgettes, carrots, potatoes, fillets of fish, etc. Let your pressure
cooker cool down for a few minutes, and then carry out fast
decompression in cold water - (refer to the section 'End of
cooking in pressure Cooker mode'). Methodically and gently
shake the pressure cooker each time before opening, after
having checked that the pressure indicator has gone down to
the lowered position, to prevent bubbles of steam from
overflowing and burning you. This operation is particularly
important when steam is released quickly or after cooling down
under tap water.
Always be very careful when moving your pressure cooker under
pressure. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use oven mitts when
necessary. Lift using both of the handles.
For soups, we recommend that you do a fast decompression in
cold water (refer to the “End of cooking in ‘Pressure Cooking’
mode” section).
Make sure the operating valve (A) is in the steam release
position before opening the pressure cooker. The pressure
indicator (D) should be in the lowered position.
Never use force to open your pressure cooker. Make sure the
internal pressure has been released. The pressure indicator (D)
should be in the lowered position. (See “Safety” section).

KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS
* depending on model 3
EN
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
If you notice that a part of your pressure cooker is broken
or cracked, do not attempt to open it under any
circumstances. Wait for it to cool down completely before
moving it. Do not use it again and take it to a TEFAL/
T-FAL Approved Service Centre for repair.
Do not tamper with the safety systems other than when
following the cleaning and maintenance instructions.
Only use the correct TEFAL/T-FAL original parts for your
model.
Do not leave food in the pressure cooker.
Wash and rinse your pressure cooker immediately after
each use.
Never put the operating valve (A), the gasket (I), the cook
control* (F), or the pan with non-stick coating in the
dishwasher.
Never place the cook control* (F) under water.
Never use bleach or chlorine-based products, which could
affect the quality of the stainless steel.
Do not let the lid soak in water.
Change the gasket every year, or immediately if it is split
or broken.
Make sure you get your pressure cooker checked in a
TEFAL/T-FAL Approved Service Centre after 10 years of
use.
To store your pressure cooker: rest the lid upside down on
the pan, to avoid premature wear of the lid's gasket.

Cooking with
"Pressure Cooking"
Turn the operating valve (A) to the cooking with "Pressure Cooking" position
- fig 10. The pressure cooker operates at 65kPa / 9 lbs (psi).
Make sure your pressure cooker is properly closed before use - Fig. 2.
Place your pressure cooker on a heat source then set to maximum power.
For models equipped with a cook control*: programme the cooking time
indicated on the recipe (see section "Using the cook control").
A jangling noise and wisps of smoke emitted from the pressure cooker
indicator are normal when bringing the Clipso Minut up to pressure, as the
air escapes before cooking.
During “Pressure Cooking”
When the operating valve (A) is constantly emitting steam and making a
regular sound (PSCHHHT), lower the heat source.
Then either begin timing the food manually or program the cook control*
(depending on your model), for the cooking time indicated in the recipe.
During cooking, check that the valve murmurs regularly. If there is not
enough steam being released, increase the heat source slightly. If there is
too much steam, reduce it.
End of “Pressure Cooking”
To release the steam:
When the heat source has been turned off, you have two options:
•Gradual pressure release:
This is used for stews, vegetables, meat joints and fish dishes.
radually turn the operating valve (A), adjusting the speed that the pressure
is released by how far you open the valve, until the steam release symbol
is opposite the positioning mark (C).
*depending on model

13
EN
•Fast pressure release with cold water:
This is used for soups, rice, pasta, egg custards, cake and pudding mixes,
recipes containing rice or pasta, and recipes with a high liquid content.
Place the base of your pressure cooker in a sink half-filled with cold tap water.
When the pressure indicator (D) drops down, your pressure cooker is no longer
under pressure. Turn the operating valve (A) to the position .
For foodstuffs that expand and/or foam during cooking, such as rice, pulses,
dehydrated vegetables, stewed fruit, pumpkin, courgettes, carrots, potatoes,
fillets of fish, etc. Let your pressure cooker cool down for a few minutes, and
then place in sink half-filled with cold tap water. Methodically and gently
shake the pressure cooker each time before opening, after having checked
that the pressure indicator has gone down completely, to prevent bubbles of
steam from overflowing and burning you. This operation is particularly
important when steam is released quickly or after cooling down with tap
water. For soups, we recommend that you do a fast pressure release with cold
water (see Step 1 above).
You can open your pressure cooker - fig 3.
In case of difficulties opening the lid: rinse the gasket under water and replace
it in the lid without drying it - fig 18 and take care to insert it under each of
the grooves on the lid - fig 14 .
If, when releasin steam, you notice any food or liquid start to
spurt out, return the operatin valve (A) to the “Pressure Cookin ”
position , then carry out fast decompression under cold water.
If the pressure indicator (D) does not o down, place your pressure
cooker in a sink half-filled with cold tap water until the pressure
indicator (D) comes down.
Never interfere with the pressure indicator (D).

Cooking with the
“Stewpot"*
Turn the operating valve (A) to the “Stewpot” position
. To do this, apply enough force to turn past the
notch for the steam release position.
Make sure the pressure cooker is properly closed before
use - fig. 2.
Place your pressure cooker on a heat source set at low
or medium power.
Then start timing the food manually.
Note: The cook control cannot be used with Stewpot mode.
During ‘stewpot’ cooking, you can open your pressure cooker at any time to
stir, check whether the food is cooked or add ingredients.
In case of difficulties opening the lid: rinse the gasket in water and replace
it in the lid without drying it - fig 18 and take care to insert it under each of
the grooves on the lid - fig 14
If the heat source is too high, the pressure cooker may lock (the pressure
indicator (D) rises and blocks the opening) and the lid handle may not work
or may not allow opening of the pressure cooker. In this case, reduce or turn
off the heat source. If you are using cast iron heating plates, remove the
pressure cooker from the heat source.
For models with a non-stick coating: do not use whisks or sharp utensils made
of metal. Do not tap the rim of the pan to remove food from utensils, as it
could damage it and cause leaks.
Never let fat or oil burn until completely carbonised. The cooking fumes could
be dangerous to animals with a particularly sensitive respiratory system, such
as birds. Bird owners should keep them away from the kitchen.
Your pressure cooker is equipped with several safety devices:
Closing safety:
- If the lid is not positioned correctly or if you forget to fold back the lid handle,
steam will leak from the pressure indicator (D) of the pressure cooker and the
pressure may not increase.
Opening safety:
- If your pressure cooker is under pressure, the pressure indicator (D) is up and
the opening/closing lid handle (G) should not be used.
Safety
*depending on model

15
EN
- Never try to forcibly open your pressure cooker.
- Above all do not touch the pressure indicator (D).
- Make sure that the interior pressure has fallen, checking that the pressure
indicator (D) is in the lowered position before opening the pressure cooker.
- The lid handles are safety components. Never replace them yourself. Never
use any other models of handles.
- If you moved the opening/closing lid handle (G) to a vertical position while
the pressure cooker was still under pressure, you are not able to open it. This
function is an additional safety measure. In this circumstance, move the lid
handle back to a horizontal position and wait until the pressure indicator (D)
is in the lowered position.
Two safety devices against overpressure:
- First safety device: the safety valve (E) releases the pressure - fig 19.
- Second safety device: the gasket allows steam to escape from the lid - fig 19.
If one of the overpressure safety systems is triggered:
Turn off the heat source.
Allow the pressure cooker to cool completely without moving it.
Open.
Check and clean the operating valve (A), the steam release outlet (B), the
safety valve (E) and the gasket (I) - fig 15 - 16 - 17 and 17a. Refer to the
sections "Cleaning" and "Compulsory checks before each use".
If, after these checks and cleaning, your product leaks or no longer works,
take it to a TEFAL/T-FAL Approved Service Centre.
To ensure the correct operation of your pressure cooker, follow these cleaning
and maintenance recommendations after each use.
Cleaning
The brownin and marks which may appear followin lon use do
not affect the operation of the pressure cooker.
Wear on the exterior coatin (dependin on model) caused by
contact between the lid and the pan is normal.
For pressure cookers with non stick coatin (accordin to model):
the sli ht scratches and abrasions that may appear with use do not
affect the coatin 's non stick performance.

16 *depending on model
Wash your pressure cooker after each use using warm water with a little
washing-up liquid. Follow the same procedure for the basket*.
Do not use bleach or chemicals containing chlorine.
Do not heat your pan when empty.
To clean the inside of the stainless steel pot:
Wash using a sponge and washing-up liquid.
If the interior of the steel pot has an iridescent sheen or white marks (mineral
deposits), clean using a sponge with a little white vinegar.
To clean the inside of the aluminium pot with a non stick coating:
Wash the pan by hand only using hot water, washing-up liquid and a soft
sponge.
Do not use scouring powder or abrasive sponges.
If you have burned some food, fill your pan with hot water and leave to soak.
Then clean with washing-up liquid.
To clean the outside of the pot:
Wash using a sponge and washing-up liquid.
To clean the lid:
Wash the lid using a damp sponge and washing-up liquid.
To clean the gasket of the lid:
After each use, clean the gasket (I) and its housing.
To replace the gasket, refer to - Fig. 14 and ensure that the gasket is properly
inserted beneath each of the grooves on the lid.
Drain the lid vertically to remove the remainin water between the
metal and plastic parts of the lid.
You can wash the stainless steel pan and basket in the dishwasher.
Do not put the pan with a non-stick coatin (dependin on model) in
the dishwasher, because deter ent tablets contain substances that are
very a ressive and corrosive for aluminium parts.
Pans with a non-stick interior coatin (accordin to model), may
sli htly alter in colour inside (yellowin or stainin ) after lon term
use. This is normal.
After removin the operatin valve (A), the asket (I) and the cook
