OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

For cooking it is essential:
• To put in the cooker a minimum of ½ litre of

water or any liquid generating vaporisation,
and as a maximum 2/3 parts of the volume
(water and ingredients included).

• If you cook sauces make sure that they

are not too thick and also to SHAKE the
cooker before the OPENING THE LID in
order to eliminate possible heat focuses
or depressions which may have arisen in
the interior. REQUIRED WHEN COOKING
SOUPS OR PULSES SUCH AS CREAM OF
LENTILS, CHICK PEAS, etc.

To close the cooker
• Turn the handle anticlockwise until the

bridge comes down fully on the lid.

• Place and turn the lid according to the

following picture.

• Make sure that the lid fits right around it

perimeter onto the cooker and the bridge
into its clamps.

• Turn the closing handle in the closing direction

(clockwise) until you note a slight pressure of
the bridge against the clamps (handles).

• When contact is made between the bridge

and the clamps of the cooker (body), set the
reference as indicated.

• Close completely by turning the handle two

times.

• Place the revolving valve on the chimney

and push it in fully.

Cooking
• Place the cooker on the heat source. When

the revolving valve begins to MOVE, emitting
steam, turn down the heat source to a
position in which the valve turns SLOWLY. It
can even rest WITHOUT TURNING, emitting
a small quantity of steam. In this situation
cooking will take place perfectly, energy will
be saved and there will be a higher vitamin
contribution.
