Setting the cooking level, ventilating and
heating
→ Use the selector to set the cooking level
"Cooking without pressure", cooking level I or
cooking level II.
→ Use a high power setting for heating.
Ventilation takes place automatically using the integrated
automatic heating feature, therefore manual ventilation
is not required when parboiling. If sufficient steam
is released by the overpressure valve, the automatic
heating feature turns itself off. The pressure indicator
begins to rise.

Cooking
The pressure indicator rises even under low pressure.
The actual operating pressure and temperature, and
thus the beginning of the cooking time, are reached
when a little steam is released at the set cooking level.
→ Cook at this position until the end of the cooking
time.
→ To do this, adjust the power setting on the hob
accordingly.
At this stage, if the power setting is too high for the
Sicomatic® econtrol, steam is released via the discharge
opening on the lid shaft handle (in the middle of the
lid), accompanied by a noise that gradually gets louder.
→ Turn down the power setting.
The position of the pressure indicator when steaming
should be maintained by regulating the power setting
on the hob so that no steam is released, or only gently.
In doing so you avoid wasting energy unnecessarily and
prevent it from "boiling dry".
