WMF PERFECT PLUS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
1.
Please carefully read the operating manual and all
the instructions before using the WMF pressure
cooker. Improper use may result in damage.
2.
Do not allow anyone to use the pressure cooker
unless they have first read the operating manual.
3.
eep children away from the pressure cooker while
it is in use.
4.
Never use your pressure cooker in the oven. The
high oven temperatures could damage handles,
valves and safety devices.
5.
Move the pressure cooker very carefully while it is
pressurised. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the
handles and buttons provided. Use gloves if
necessary.
6.
Only use the pressure cooker for the purpose
intended.
7.
This appliance cooks with the aid of pressure.
Improper use may result in burns. Take care to
ensure that the appliance is properly closed before
heating it up. You’ll find information on this in the
operating manual.
8.
Never use force to open the pressure cooker.
Never open it before you are sure that the interior
is fully depressurised. You’ll find information on
this in the operating manual.
9.
Never heat the pressure cooker before pouring in
water. This would result in serious damage.
Minimum: 1/4 l water. Take care to ensure that the
liquid never fully evaporates. This could result in
food burning on to the pot, and the pot being
damaged by melting plastic parts. The hob could
also be damaged by the aluminium in the base
melting.
10.
Never fill the pressure cooker to more than 2/3 of
its capacity. If using foodstuffs which expand
during the cooking process, such as rice or dried
vegetables, fill the pressure cooker to a maximum
of half its capacity, and observe any supple-
mentary instructions issued by the manufacturer in
this regard.
11.
Never leave your pressure cooker unattended.
Regulate the heat to ensure that the cooking
indicator does not rise above the 2nd orange ring.
If the heat is not turned down, steam will escape
through the valve. Cooking times may change, and
the loss of liquid may result in function faults.
12.
Only use the heat sources listed in the operating
manual.
13.
If you have cooked meat with the skin attached
(such as ox-tongue), which may expand under the
influence of pressure, take care not to pierce the
meat while the skin remains expanded. This could
result in burns.
14.
On principle, always shake the pressure cooker
before opening it to avoid pockets of steam
spitting out; this could result in scalding. This is
particularly important when quickly releasing steam
under running water or using the sliding indicator.
15.
When quickly releasing steam using the sliding
indicator, or under running water, always keep
your hands, head and body away from the danger
area. You could otherwise be injured by escaping
steam.
16.
Before each use of your pressure cooker, check
that the safety devices, valves and seals are
working properly. Only thus can the safe
functioning of your pressure cooker be
guaranteed. You’ll find information on this in the
operating manual.
17.
Do not use your pressure cooker to fry food in oil
under pressure.
18.
Never interfere with the safety systems, except
when carrying out the maintenance work specified
in the operating manual.
19.
Wear parts should be regularly replaced. Parts
showing apparent discoloration, cracks or other
damage, or which no longer sit correctly, must be
replaced with original WMF spare parts.
20.
Only use original WMF spare parts. In particular,
always use pots and lids of the same model.
21.
Do not use the pressure cooker if it or its parts
are damaged or distorted, or if their functionality
does not correspond to that described in the
operating manual. If that is the case, please
consult your nearest WMF dealer or WMF AG's
Customer Service Department in Geislingen/
Steige.
Please keep this operating manual in a safe place!

valve on the underside of the lid . If the ball
is in the upper chamber of the safety valve/
automatic heating device on the lid, use your
finger to press it into the lower chamber .
Remove the handle and check the main valve
for moveability by pressing with your finger .
Inspect the cooking indicator seal visually to
check for fit and damage.
Please note:
Do not press down on the cooking indicator seal,
since this could result in damage to the residual
pressure lock, and the functionality of your
pressure cooker could no longer be guaranteed .

Liquid volumes
At least 1/4 l of liquid is required to generate
steam, regardless of whether you are cooking with
or without inserts . To ensure that your pressure
cooker’s functionality is not impaired, do not fill it
to more than 2/3 of its capacity . When cooking
foodstuff which foam or expand heavily (e.g.
stock, pulses, innards, compotes), only fill the pot
to half its capacity.
See the section on ‘Preparing wholefood’ for
further information.
If you want to brown your food before cooking
(e.g. onions, meat pieces etc.), you can use your
WMF pressure cooker as a conventional pot.
In order to complete cooking deglaze the pan and
add the requisite amount of liquid (at least 1/4 l)
before closing the pressure cooker.
CAUTION!
Never cook without sufficient liquid, and take care
to ensure that the cooking liquid never evaporates
fully. Failure to observe the above may result in
food burning on, or in damage to the pot or its
plastic handles.

COO ING USING YOUR PRESSURE COO ER
General
Your pressure cooker cooks food under pressure,
i.e. at temperature above 100°C.
This reduces cooking times by up to 70 %, a
significant energy saving. Cooking in steam largely
preserves food's flavour, taste and vitamins.
Cooking with inserts
Depending on the size of your pressure cooker,
you can cook with inserts or a trivet .
Inserts and trivets are available as accessories
from your WMF dealer (see 'Accessories and spare
parts').
Heating up
After filling and closing your pressure cooker,
place it on the hob at the maximum heat setting.
During the heating phase, air will escape via the
automatic heating device , which also acts as a
safety valve, until the valve audibly closes and
pressure can build up.
The cooking indicator will rise, and the yellow
pressure ring, together with the two orange rings,
will become visible .
Turn down the heat in time, ensuring that it is
reduced sufficiently. The orange ring
recommended in the recipe must be just visible.
J

91J

Cooking times
The cooking time only starts once the ring
recommended in the recipe is fully visible. Take
care to ensure that the ring position remains
stable. Regulate the heat accordingly. If the
cooking indicator falls below the required
orange ring, you will have to turn up the heat
slightly.
This will slightly prolong the cooking time.
If the cooking indicator rises above the second
orange ring, excess pressure will result. This will
escape audibly via the main valve on the lid
handle.
Remove the pot from the hob, wait until the
cooking indicator has fallen to the second orange
ring, and turn the heat back on.
Pressure cooking facilitates shorter cooking times,
because the steam pressure in the pot results in
higher temperatures.
First ring: approx. 110°C
(operating pressure 45 kPa, regulating
pressure 90 kPa)
for delicate foods such as fish or compote
Second ring: approx. 119°C
(operating pressure 95 kPa, regulating
pressure 130 kPa, max. 150 kPa)
for all other foods
Energy-conscious users will want to turn off the
heat even before the end of the cooking time,
since the heat stored in the pot will suffice to
finish the cooking process.
Cooking times may vary for the same foodstuffs,
depending on the quantity, form and make-up of
the food.

31 Opening the pot
At the end of the cooking time remove the
pressure cooker from the hob.
On principle, the lid should only be opened and
removed from the pot once the pot is
depressurised. This means that the cooking
indicator must have fully disappeared into the
handle . The residual pressure lock ensures that
the pot can only be opened once fully
depressurised, i.e. once even the yellow pressure
ring is no longer visible.
If the yellow ring is still visible , this means that
the residual pressure lock has reacted. To release
it, quickly move the sliding indicator to the
ZU/LOC ED position.
If no steam escapes, shake the pot briefly. This
will release any pockets of steam from the food.
Such bubbles may form especially when cooking
liquid or viscous foods, and they can spit out when
removing the lid. Now turn the lid handle to the
right as described, and open the pot.
Information on induction hobs
The TransTherm®universal base is suitable for
all hob types, including induction hobs. A humming
noise may develop at high heat setting when
cooking on induction hobs. This noise has
technical causes and does not indicate that either
your hob or your pressure cooker is defective. The
pot size must correspond to the size of the
cooking zone. Otherwise – especially in the case
of small diameters – the cooking zone (magnetic
zone) may not respond to the pot base.

Juicing
You can use your pressure cooker to juice small
quantities of fruit.
Pour 1/4 l water into the pot. Place the fruit in the
perforated insert on top of the un-perforated
insert; add sugar to taste.
Cook using the 2nd orange ring. The cooking time
will be between 10 and 20 minutes, depending on
the type of fruit. Depressurise the pot under
running water. Shake briefly before opening.
Sterilising
Baby bottles, preserving jars etc. can be quickly
sterilised.
Place them in the perforated insert with the
opening facing downwards, add 1/4 l water and
sterilise for 20 minutes using the 2nd orange ring.
Allow to cool down slowly.
Cooking with inserts
Depending on the size of your pressure cooker,
you can cook with inserts or a trivet. Inserts and
trivets are available as accessories from your WMF
dealer. You can also cook several foods
simultaneously in your pressure cooker. The
inserts are used to separate the individual foods.
First, place the food requiring the longest cooking
time in the pot (without insert).
Examples:
– Roasts (20 min), pot base
– Potatoes (8 min), perforated insert
– Vegetables (8 min), un-perforated insert
First cook the roast for around 12 minutes. Then
open the pot as described. Place the potatoes in
the perforated insert on the trivet, place the
vegetables in the un-perforated insert, close the
pot and cook for a further 8 minutes.
If there is no major difference in cooking times, all
inserts can be placed in the pot at the same time.
Opening the pot during use allows steam to
escape. Therefore, add a little more liquid to the
pot than required.
When quickly releasing steam using the sliding
indicator, or under running water, always keep
your hands, head and body away from the danger
area. You could otherwise be injured by escaping
steam.
CLEANING
Unclip the lid handle and rinse off from both sides
under running water . Remove the sealing
ring from the lid and rinse by hand. The pot,
lid and inserts can be washed in the dishwasher.
Food residues should not be scraped off but
soaked in water. Scald with a vinegar and water
solution to remove lime deposits. The pot base
should also be regularly cleaned.
STORAGE
In order to conserve the sealing ring , place the
lid upside-down on the pot after cleaning.
MAINTENANCE
Your pressure cooker is a technical appliance and
its individual parts may be subject to wear-and-tear.
Therefore, after prolonged use, you should check
all the individual parts in accordance with the spare
parts list.
If any changes are apparent, the parts in question
must be replaced. Only use original spare parts
produced by the manufacturer. Any damage to the
lid handle will require a works repair.

OTHER VERSATILE USES FOR YOUR WMF
PRESSURE COO ER
The advantages of pressure cooking do not only
apply to conventional cooking methods.
Cooking frozen food
Frozen food can be placed in the pot directly from
the freezer. Meat must be defrosted slightly before
browning. Vegetables can be placed in the insert
straight from the packet.
While the heating up times will be prolonged,
cooking times will remain the same.
Cooking wholefood
Wholefood often involves grains and pulses.
Grains and pulses need not necessarily be soaked
before cooking them in a pressure cooker. If they
are not soaked, cooking times will be prolonged by
about 50 %.
As well as the minimum liquid volume of 1/4 l, at
least 2 parts liquid must be added to 1 part
grain/pulses. The residual heat from the hob can
be used for final swelling.
Remember that, when cooking foaming or
expanding foods (grains, pulses), the pot can only
be filled to half its capacity.
Preserving
1 l preserving jars should be cooked in a 6.5 l or
8.5 l pressure cooker, while smaller jars should be
cooked in a 4.5 l pressure cooker. Prepare the
food to be bottled as normal.
Pour 1/4 l water into the pot. Place the mason jars
in the perforated insert.
Vegetables and meat should be cooked for around
20 minutes (2nd orange ring), while fruit should be
cooked using the first orange ring. Stone fruit
should be cooked for around 5 minutes, while
pomaceous fruit should be cooked for around
10 minutes.
In order to let off steam, allow the pot to cool
down slowly: do not depressurise it using the
sliding indicator or running water, since this could
cause the juice to be expelled from the jars.
THREE WAYS OF REDUCING THE PRESSURE
IN THE POT
Method 1
Remove the pot from the heat source. After a
short time, the cooking indicator will fall. Once
it has fully disappeared into the handle , slowly
move the sliding indicator to AUF/OPEN.
During this procedure, any remaining residual
steam will escape from under the lid handle. If no
more steam escapes, shake the pot briefly so that
any pockets of steam which have formed in the
food can be released.
Method 2
In the case of foods with short cooking times (e.g.
vegetables), slowly and gradually move the sliding
indicator in the AUF/OPEN direction , until
steam escapes from under the lid handle. Once
the sliding indicator is fully at the AUF/OPEN
position, steam is no longer escaping and the
cooking indicator has fully dropped , shake the
pot and then open it.
Method 3
If you are worried by the escaping steam, simply
place the pot in the sink and run cold water over
the lid until the cooking indicator has
disappeared fully into the lid handle . Shake the
pot and then open it.
CAUTION!
If you have cooked foaming or expanding foods
(e.g. pulses, stock, grains), you should never
depressurise the pot using the sliding indicator
or running water. Jacket potatoes will burst if
you let steam out of the pressure cooker using
method 2 or 3.
