2. The cooking time at Setting 1 is about 50% longer than at Setting 2.
3. Cooking times for the same food can vary, since the amount, size and consistency of the foods influence the
cooking time.
For example, boiled potatoes:
Conventional cooking time Cooking time at Setting 2 Cooking time at Setting 1
About 30 min. About 12 min. About 18 min
At the end of the cooking time, remove the pressure cooker from the heat source and depressurize it. (See
information in the following chapter.) Only then can you open it.
7. Depressurizing the vitaquick
®
Important:
Never try to force the pressure cooker open. The cooker can only be opened when the cooking indicator has
fallen into its socket completely and no more steam escapes when the release button is activated. Once the coo-
ker has been depressurized, the release button can be easily pressed in order to open the cooker. Always gently
shake the cooker before you open it, to release steam pockets that may have formed in the food. If you do not
do this, you may be scalded by spattering food and steam.
There are 3 ways to depressurize your vitaquick
®
.
The way you depressurize depends on the food you are cooking. For foods that tend to foam or rise, such as legu-
mes, soups or stews, or for foods with a delicate peel, such as jacket potatoes, do not select a method that reduces
the pressure quickly, as this could cause the food to be ejected or the peel to burst.
Method 1
“Quick depressurizing with the release button”
See Fig. O
Press the release button (Fig. A-2) gently in the direction shown by the arrow, and steam will escape from under the
lid handle (Fig. A-4). Hold the button in until the cooking indicator has fallen back into its socket completely and no
more steam is escaping. Then release the button, shake the cooker gently, and press the release button again. Repeat
this until no more steam escapes. Once the cooker is depressurized, the Euromatic will sink. The release button can
now be pressed in completely to open the cooker.
Note:
As long as there is any pressure in the cooker, the release button cannot be pressed completely. This is normal, and it
ensures that the cooker cannot be accidentally opened while under pressure. Do not try to force the release button!
Method 2
“Let it cool off
If you would like to take advantage of the residual energy in the cooker, use this method. Shortly before the end of
the cooking time, take the cooker off the stove and just let it gradually cool down until the cooking indicator has sunk
completely.

  • The pressure valve does not rise and steam escaping around it. All parts are new. This happened after mistakenly did not have lid locked on and cooker was on with steam escaping and no pressure. When I corrected lid and locked it properly this problem occurred. Please advise.
    Thank you.
