TIMER* (OPTIONAL)

• The timer is only available on certain models. Removable and

independent, the timer will alert you when the cooking time is

complete. You can take it with you so that you are free to get

on with other tasks or you can leave it in its holder (G(c)) during

cooking.

• Your pressure cooker is designed to work both with and without

its timer.

Operation:

• Power on: press the button once; the two zero display appears.

• Select the cooking time (60 minutes maximum): press the button.

- Pulsing: minute-by-minute countdown

- Continuous: scrolling countdown

• Cooking time countdown: upon releasing the button after a few

seconds, the selected time ﬂashes: the countdown has started.

The countdown should start as soon as the valve ‘whispers’.

• Audible alarms: at the end of cooking, the timer warns you with a

series of beeps. To stop the alarm, press the button. Turn o the

heat source and manually release the pressure (see section “End

of Cooking”)

• The timer automatically turns o.

• Programming error: you can reset the programmed time at any

time by pressing and holding the button for more than two seconds.

• Installation: place the timer on its holder (G(c)) on top of the lid.

• Removal: Gently lift the timer upwards.

Recommendations for use:

• Do not put the timer in the dishwasher. Never submerge the timer

in water. Clean the timer using a clean cloth. Do not use solvents

to clean the timer.

Disposal:

• The lifespan of your timer depends on how often you

use it. However, when you notice a total or partial loss

of the display, you will need to remove the battery for

disposal.

• The cook control battery is a CR2032 button battery.The cook

control battery contains Dimethoxyethane no. CAS 110-71 - 4. It

is in accordance with the European regulations. For your safety and

environmental protection: do not open the battery, do not expose

it to high temperatures, do not throw it away with household

waste; Dispose of battery at a battery disposal point.

• Your battery is housed in the battery compartment: you can

replace it or have it replaced by a retailer authorised for this type

of service, as shown in the diagram opposite.

• You can purchase another timer at all of our TEFAL-approved

Service Centres.

*Basket and timer not included with certain models.

■DURING COOKING

The pressure indicator (D) prevents the pressure from rising in the pressure

cooker if it is not properly closed.

• It is normal for steam to be present at the pressure indicator (D) when the

product begins operating.

• When steam escapes continuously from the operating valve (A), with a

steady “pschhht” sound, reduce the heat until the valve (A) continues to

whisper steadily.

• Leave for the cooking time indicated in the recipe.

• For models equipped with a timer, program the time indicated in the recipe.

• As soon as the cooking time is over, turn o the heat source.

■END OF COOKING

To release the steam:

- Slow pressure release:

• This is used for stews, vegetables, meat joints and

ﬁsh dishes.

• Gradually turn the valve (A), adjusting the speed

that the pressure is released by how far you

open the valve, until it aligns opposite the mark

with the symbol - Fig. 9. When the pressure

indicator (D) drops down again, your pressure

cooker is no longer under pressure.

The pressure indicator (D) prevents the pressure

cooker from being opened if it is still under pressure.

- Rapid pressure release:

• 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.

• You may place your pressure cooker in a sink

half-ﬁlled with cold tap water, to speed up the

decompression, see diagram opposite. When the

pressure indicator (D) drops down, your pressure

cooker is no longer under pressure.

• You may open your pressure cooker - Fig.1 and 2.

- Special case foods:

• When cooking special case foods which expand or

foam during cooking e.g sliced carrots, pumpkins

(see cooking table) or dried vegetables, wait for

the pressure indicator (D) to drop before opening.

Reduce the recommended cooking time slightly.

Alternatively, use the rapid pressure release method

stated above.

• When cooking soups, we would advise you to carry

out a rapid pressure release (see section ‘Rapid

pressure release’).

If while releasing the

steam, you notice any

food or liquid start

to spray out from

the valve, return the

operating valve (A) to

mark- Fig.7

or 8 - , wait a minute

and then slowly turn

the operating valve

again to the steam

release position,

ensuring nothing

else spurts out.

Shaking the contents

once the pressure

cooker is totally

decompressed.

But we can’t shake it

under pressure.
