6.4 Opening the pressure cooker

Warning!
- If the red safety valve 4 is still raised,
the pan is still pressurised and the lid
cannot be opened. Under no
circumstances should you attempt to
force the lid open, as the sudden
release of pressure could result in
scalding. The pan will only open
once the red safety valve 4 has
dropped down.
- Steam may escape from the steam
vent 5. When using your appliance,
be careful never to direct the
opening of the steam vent 5 towards
yourself or towards a place where
somebody might walk past.
- When the pressure regulator 6 is
adjusted, a powerful steam jet could
escape from the steam vent 5. You
should therefore only take hold of
the pressure regulator 6 by the
ribbed dial 7.
Caution! Never entirely immerse the base in
water. Otherwise the pressure will instantly drop
which can lead to the base as well as the food
being ruined.
There are various methods to cool down the
pressure cooker in order to be able to open it.
Method 1: Releasing steam
This method requires releasing as much steam as
possible until the pressure in the appliance has
decreased enough to be able to remove the lid.
Warning!
This method means that hot steam will
escape from the pressure regulator.
You should therefore be careful not to
scald yourself.

1. Remove the pressure cooker from the cooker.
2. Turn the pressure regulator 6
to the steam releasing setting
.
3. Wait until the pressure has equalised and the
red safety valve 4 falls back down.
Note: As soon as the red safety valve 4
falls back down, the temperature inside the
appliance is still almost 100 °C.
4. Slide the lock 8 forwards
and turn the lid anti-clock-
wise at the same time, until
the round mark on the lid is
pointing to the arrow on the
base handle 10 .
Note: As soon as you slide the lock 8
forwards, some residual steam may escape.
5. Remove the lid from the base.
Method 2: Saving energy
Method 2 requires the cooker to be turned off a
few minutes before the food has finished cooking,
leaving the pan on the hob. This uses the residual
heat optimally and saves energy.
1. Wait until the pressure has stabilized and the
red safety valve 4 drops down.
Please note: When the safety valve 4
drops down, the temperature inside the
pressure cooker is still around 100 °C.
2. Slide the lock 8 forwards
and turn the lid anti-clock-
wise at the same time, until
the round mark on the lid is
pointing to the arrow on the
base handle 10 .
Note: As soon as you slide the lock 8
forwards, some residual steam may escape.
3. Remove the lid from the base.
