7. COOKING
CAUTION
Never place the pressure cooker on a heat source if
the lid is placed on the pan without being locked or if
it is incompletely closed.
• Place the lid on the pressure cooker pan.
• Press gently on the lip to compress the seal and turn the
control knob of the clamp anti-clockwise to the stop (click).
The marking on the knob must be opposite the white mar-
king on the mechanism cover.
• The pressure cooker is correctly closed when the pressure
indicator can move upward freely.
6. CLOSING
• Add the foodstuffs with the quantity of water necessary for
cooking and close the pressure cooker.
• Press the regulator to ensure that it has moved down to the
notch.
• Place on strong heat.
• Under the effect of pres-
sure, the pressure indicator
rises and locks the opening
device.
• Begin timing the cooking
when steam escapes
through the regulator.
• Then reduce the heating
power to maintain slight escaping of steam through the
regulator (the regulator can then operate only intermit-
tently).
• It is perfectly normal for the regulator not to rotate
when it allows steam to escape. It is not designed to do so.
• If you use salt for your recipe, dissolve it immediately
by stirring the water with a wooden spoon. This will pre-
vent the appearance of "pitting" which can damage the
bottom of your pressure cooker. Dissolving of the salt is
also easier and quicker when you use fine salt and salt the
hot water.
