During cooking
■ Cooking starts when steam escapes in a steady flow from the outlet with a regular hissing sound. Lower the heat and start timing the cooking time (or set the timer if you have one) as indicated in your recipe book.
■ For Clipso Control, the timer starts automatically (beeps notify you). Once countdown has started you can remove the timer from the control module and carry it with you.
! As with all cooking appliances, make sure you properly supervise the cooking area if children are close by.
■ As soon as the cooking time is up, turn off the heat source.
■ If you have a Clipso Control, the timer will tell you when cooking time is up with a series of beeps. Turn off the heat source and press either the + or – button to stop the beeping.
If steam escapes from around the edge of the lid, check that:
■ The lid is properly closed.
■ The lid seal is properly fitted.
■ The lid seal is clean and in good condition; if | 9 |

necessary change it. |

■The edge of the pot is not damaged/dented.
If one of the security devices is activated (safety valve or seal):
■Turn off the heat source immediately.
■Let the pressure cooker cool down.
■Open the cooker.
■Check and clean the operating valve, steam release outlet, safety valve and seal.
