Practical Hints; Storage, Maintenance And Cleaning - Tescoma President Mode D'emploi

and the pressure intensity indicator to make sure that all of the 3 components spring. Clean the apertures
in the nut of the operating valve and install the operating valve back into the lid of the pressure cooker.
Lock against accidental opening
Prevents accidental opening of the pressure cooker before all steam has escaped from the vessel and
pressure has dropped entirely.
Pressure indicator
The pressure intensity indicator uses white and grey rings to show the current pressure in the vessel. If the
indicator is inserted inside the operating valve, there is no operating pressure in the vessel. If the pressure
intensity indicator shows a red ring, the operating pressure in the vessel is higher than permitted; in this
case, immediately reduce the heat output to minimum and if the red ring remains in the upper position
even after reducing the heat output, immediately turn off the heat source and remove the pressure cooker
from the heat.

PRACTICAL HINTS

ALWAYS USE AN APPROPRIATE SIZE OF COOKING RANGE OR FLAME FOR COOKING.
The diameter of the cooking range must be identical or smaller than the diameter of the bottom of the
pressure cooker! Flames must never expand beyond the bottom of the pressure cooker. Use the dispenser
net or cooking range when cooking on gas.
Make use of the heat retaining properties of the three-layer sandwich bottom. Switch the heat off in
advance before the end of cooking. Thanks to the three-layer sandwich bottom, the accumulated heat
energy is transferred into the pressure cooker even after the heat has been switched off .
The vessel of the pressure cooker may also be used without the lid as a traditional pot for cooking meals
on the cooking range.
NOTICE
If a large amount of steam escapes from the pressure cooker at the beginning of the cooking process, the
pressure cooker has not been correctly closed. Incorrect closing is usually due to the following:
a) The lid is attached incorrectly – close the pressure cooker again.
b) The pressure regulator is set in the steam release position – adjust it to one of the positions for cooking.
c) The silicone seal is incorrectly positioned in the lid – check its position.
d) The silicone seal is faulty – replace it with a new original Tescoma seal.

STORAGE, MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

Lid
DO NOT WASH THE LID OF THE PRESSURE COOKER IN DISHWASHER.
Clean the apertures in the nut of the operating valve by fl ushing them with running water or clean them using
a suitable object.
Clean the safety valve by repeatedly pushing on the centre and lightly pulling the entire valve upwards
under running water.
Do not dismount the safety valve, the folding handle, the clamp-type closure, the grips or other parts of the lid.
ALWAYS STORE THE PRESSURE COOKER WITH THE LID UNATTACHED.

Vessel
THE VESSEL OF THE PRESSURE COOKER IS DISHWASHER SAFE.
Thoroughly wash the pressure cooker and wipe it dry before fi rst use; wash the pressure cooker after each
use to permanently preserve its perfect appearance.
Clean the pressure cooker with normal detergents; never use aggressive substances, chemicals or sharp
objects. The pressure cooker can be cleaned using special agents for stainless steel cookware - we
recommend Tescoma CLINOX for excellent cleaning results.
Leave an excessively dirty vessel to soak in water or water with detergent.
Always wipe the pressure cooker dry after washing.
Adding salt to cold water can cause a high concentration of table salt at the bottom of the vessel, which
results in the occurrence of light stains called pitting corrosion. These light stains on the bottom of the
vessel do not aff ect functioning of the product and are not hazardous to health. As such they do not
represent a fault and cannot be claimed.
Should white sediments or iridescent colouration appear on the inside of the vessel, use vinegar, drops of
lemon or a special cleansing agent for stainless steel to clean the spots. These are sediments, the formation
of which depends on the chemical composition of the water being used.
In dishwashing, make sure that the stainless steel cookware is not in contact with other metal kitchen
utensils to avoid rusty or light stains, called contact corrosion, on the surface of the cookware. Open the
door of the dishwasher as soon as possible after the washing cycle and remove the cookware.
Corrosion can also be transferred to the cookware in water from some other product; we therefore
recommend reducing or eliminating dishwashing in order to preserve the perfect appearance of the
product.
Pressure cooker PRESIDENT DUO 4.0 and 6.0 l
THE UNIVERSAL GLASS COVER IS DISHWASHER SAFE.
Pressure cooker PRESIDENT DUO is perfectly space-saving; the 6.0 l vessel can be set inside the 4.0 l vessel
during storage.
Silicone seal
The pressure cooker seal is made of excellent silicone. Remove the seal from the lid after each use of the
pressure cooker, wash it and dry, lightly grease with cooking oil or fat and insert back in.
If the seal shows any signs of leakage or loss of fl exibility, it must be immediately replaced with a new
Tescoma brand seal.
If you are not constantly using the pressure cooker, replace the seal regularly at two-year intervals.
ALWAYS USE TESCOMA SPARE PARTS.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS pursuant to EN 12778
1. Read the INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE thoroughly before fi rst use.
2. Do not leave the pressure cooker unattended during the cooking process and do not use it for any
other purposes than cooking foodstuff s.
3. Check the operating valve and the safety valve for proper functioning prior to each use.
4. Handle the pressure cooker with utmost care when cooking; never touch the hot parts.
5. Prevent children coming near the pressure cooker while cooking.
