• Adhere strictly to the following filling
instructions:
Minimum: 1/4 litre (2 cups) of liquid
Maximum: 2/3 of cooker volume
For food that tends to foam or swell
(e.g. rice, pulses, broths or dried veg-
etables): maximum 1/2 of cooker vol-
ume. Use the fill level indicator inside
the cooker and observe the additional
instructions in chapter 7.
• The cooker should never be heated at
the highest hob setting, either empty
or with fat, for more than 2 minutes. If
it is overheated, the base may become
discoloured to a golden shade. This
discolouration does however not affect
its performance.
• Special instructions for use with
induction hobs: In order to prevent
the overheating and consequent dam-
age to the cooker, due to the high per-
formance offered by induction hobs,
always observe the cooker while it is
heated up. Never heat it up when
empty or at the highest setting, and
adhere to the instructions for use
issued by the hob manufacturer (see
chapter 8).
• Pressure cookers are under pressure
when in use. Non-compliance with the
instructions can result in serious
injury from burns and scalding.
Always ensure that the cooker is prop-
erly closed before it is heated up (see
chapter 7). Never use your pressure
cooker when the lid is not firmly
closed!
• Watch the pressure cooker while cook-
ing, and observe the position of the
indicator rod. Adjust the energy level
so that the indicator rod does not rise
above the desired mark. If the energy
input is not reduced, steam escapes
through the valve. This might affect
the cooking times, and can result in all
liquid evaporating, so that the cooker
and hob might become damaged.
• When the cooker is under pressure,
move it carefully. Do not touch the hot
outer surfaces of the pressure cooker,
as this could result in burns and scald-
ing! Handle the cooker only by its han-
dles. If necessary, use oven mittens.
• Before opening the pressure cooker,
shake it. This prevents pockets of
steam from forming in the cooked
food, which might result in spattering
