2. How to use the pressure cooker
Before first use
2.1. Open the pot
Move the sliding indicator (7) to the end of
the handle, using both ends. The indicators on
the sliding indicator (7) must be set to
AUF/OPEN (A).
Pivot the lid handle (5) to the right until the
markings on the lid and the pot handle (6) are
facing one another (B). Lift off the lid.
2.2. Cleaning the pot
Before first use, you should remove the labels
and wash all parts of your pressure cooker
(see section on “Cleaning").
Turn the lid over and detach the lid handle (5)
from the lid. For this purpose, pull the orange
slide (4) on the underside of the lid handle (5)
towards the end of the handle as indicated by
the arrow (C), fold down handle, and then de-
tach (D). Remove the sealing ring (10) from
the lid (P).
2.3. Closing the pot
Insert the handle into the lid and move the
orange slide (4) across the lid rim until it audi-
bly engages (E). Insert the sealing ring (10) into
the rim of the lid such that it is located under-
neath the inwardly bent rim of the lid (G).
Replace lid (see marking on lid and pot handle)
and turn lid handle to the left until the stop
position has been reached (B). Move the sliding
indicator (7) exactly to the position
ZU/LOCKED.
3. Notes on operation
3.1. Checking the safety devices
before each use
Ensure that the sealing ring (10) and lid rim
are clean. Check that the ball is sitting visibly
in the safety valve (9) on the underside of the
lid (G).
If the ball should be located in the upper
chamber of the safety valve / the automatic
cooking system (9), remove the handle (5) and
use your finger to press the ball into the lower
chamber (F).
Remove the handle and check the main valve (3)
for moveability by pressing with your
finger (H).
Inspect the cooking indicator seal (2) visually
to check for fit and damage.
Please note: Do not press down on the coo-
king 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 (Q).
Insert the handle in the lid (E). Place the lid on
the pot and close it (B).
3.2. Liquid volumes
At least 1/4 l of liquid is required to generate
steam, regardless of whether you are cooking
with or without inserts (12).
To ensure that your pressure cooker’s functio-
nality is not impaired, do not fill it to more
than 2/3 of its capacity (M). When cooking
foodstuffs 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 the
cooking, deglaze the cooker and add the
requisite amount of liquid (at least 1/4 l)
before closing the pressure cooker.
