When using for the first time
For models equipped with fixed handles:
•Turn the pan upside down to fit the handles. Place them in position, engage the screws and screw them up tightly.
•After using for a few days, tighten the screws again.
For models equipped with folding handles:
•Raise the handles until you hear them "click", locking them in place - Fig 8.
•Place the pressure regulator valve on the steam outlet and align one of the two symbols on the valve with the valve position index. Press down fully - Fig 9

•Put the steaming basket in the base of the pan.
•Fill 2/3 full with water.
•If your pressure cooker is delivered with a sachet of bicarbonate of soda, add its contents to the water. This avoids blackening of the aluminium.
Do not handle bicarbonate of soda near vitroceramic tops (risk of indelible stains).
