Cleaning the Operating Valve

After every use, check to make sure that the operating valve is clear of any built-up particles. To do so, move the operating valve to the position shown in Fig. 8 and remove the valve (see detailed instructions below). Clean it by running water through it. Next, lift the lid up to the light and look through the hole under the operating valve. Make sure you can see through it and there are no food particles blocking it. If necessary, clean it with a small brush or pipe cleaner.

Basic instructions for cooking

In this section you will find basic instructions for cooking foods which are most commonly prepared in pressure cookers.

Do not chop or cut food inside the cooker with a knife or other sharp utensil to avoid scratching the bottom.

For soups and stocks, do not fill pressure cooker over 1/2 full!

Remember to ALWAYS use some cooking liquid. Operating the cooker without any cooking liquid or allowing the cooker to boil dry will damage the cooker and will not allow it to build pressure for proper functioning.

Fresh and frozen vegetables

Wash all fresh vegetables thoroughly.

Peel all root vegetables, such as red beets, carrots, potatoes and turnips.

Whole winter pumpkin should be pierced several times with a fork before cooking.
