USING YOUR PRESSURE COOKER

ADDING INGREDIENTS & LIQUIDS

It is essential that you read this instruction manual and keep it handy when cooking with your pressure cooker. This manual will answer any questions that you might have on safety, operation and timing.

PLEASE NOTE: The Pressure Cooker cannot reach pressure unless the Lid is properly closed, the operating pressure has been selected and sufficient liquid has been added.

PLEASE NOTE : Before using the pressure cooker for the first time, wash all the parts with hot water, rinse and dry them. Remove the seal from the rim of the lid. Oil it lightly with vegetable oil before cooking for the first time and after each use. (DO NOT use any other type of oil or vegetable fat.) This facilitates locking.

OPENING YOUR PRESSURE COOKER

To open the pressure cooker, make sure that the Pressure Selector Dial is on “0” setting and all pressure has been released. Unlock the lid by pulling the handle and lifting the lid up. (See

When cooking, always use a minimum of 1 1/2 cups of liquid. You may fill the pressure cooker up to a maximum of 2/3 full. This includes liquids and ingredients, (see illustration 3).

When cooking foods which produce foam or expand greatly such as peas, rice or beans, the pressure cooker should not be filled more than 1/2 full, (see illustration 4). To reduce foam, add one tablespoon of butter or oil to the pressure cooker prior to cooking.

A “Maximum Fill” mark has been embossed into your pressure cooker at the 2/3 level.

CLOSING YOUR PRESSURE COOKER

Before closing the pressure cooker

ALWAYS CHECK THE VALVES. Using the vapor key provided, press the Automatic Valve from inside the lid to see that it moves freely up and down. To close the pressure cooker, place the lid on the body and push the handle down you will feel the lock engage. (See illustration 2.)

NEVER OVERFILL THE PRESSURE COOKER
