Tips for
energy-saving cooking
■
Cook vegetables and potatoes with the
minimum amount of water. This ena-
bles you to save energy.
■
Match the pot size to the size of the
hotplate. The pressure cooker should
not be smaller than the hotplate, other-
wise more energy will be consumed
than necessary.
■
Switch to a lower heat setting as soon
as cooking begins.
■
Make use of the residual heat of the
hotplate for simmering and switch off
the hotplate a few minutes before the
end of the cooking time.
Notes on cooking times
Cooking begins when steam escapes
evenly from the regulating valve.
The general rules are:
■
Cooking times are shortened by half
when compared to conventional pots.
Example: potatoes require 30 min-
utes to cook in a normal pot and only
around 15 minutes in the pressure
cooker.
■
The smaller size of the food to be
cooked, the shorter the cooking time.
Example: potatoes cut into smaller
chunks cook more quickly than whole
potatoes.
The listed cooking times at the end of
this manual (page 20) are intended only
as a guide. Please adjust the cooking
times to your personal taste.

Cleaning and care
Before beginning any work, pay attention
to the Safety instructions (page 11)!
Pressure cooker
■
After using the pot, just rinse it out
with water and briefly wipe it.
■
Soften adhered foods and gently
remove them with a sponge or
dishwashing brush. Never use steel
wool or rough scouring agents.
■
Although this cooking utensil is dish-
washer safe, we recommend manual
cleaning to keep the non-stick coating
effective longer.
NOTE
►
The pot, steamer and its stand are
dishwasher safe.
Sealing ring
■
Remove all soiling thoroughly and dry
the sealing ring.
■
Insert the sealing ring into the lid again.
NOTE
►
Do not put the sealing ring into the
dishwasher. The material will be-
come brittle.
►
Replace the sealing ring regularly
with a new one (every one to two
years depending in the frequency
of use or a soon as wear becomes
apparent) to ensure perfect
operation of the pressure cooker.
Pay particular attention to brittle
material, cracks, discolouring,
deformations and hardening.
