Cooking With The Zavor Duo Pressure Cooker; Before First Use; Adding Food And Liquid - Zavor DUO Manuel D'utilisation

12. Safety Vent: In case of high-pressure
buildup, steam will be released
through the safety vent cutout located
in the rim of the lid (Fig. 9). The
cutout in the handle of the pressure
cooker is an emergency pressure
release mechanism that should never
become operative under normal
use. If both pressure release valves
become blocked due to over filling,
for example, the pressure will tear the
gasket and escape through this hole.
WARNING: Excess steam escaping
through the hole will be very hot and
might cause serious injuries . In the
event the safety vent is triggered to
release excess pressure, always place
the pressure cooker on the stove in
such a position that the Safety Vent
is not facing towards you or towards
anything that could get damaged by
the steam and sputtering liquid .
13. Stainless Steel Steamer Basket:
The ZAVOR DUO Pressure Cooker
comes with a stainless steel steamer
basket. The basket is used for
steaming foods
without placing them directly in the
cooking liquid.
14.Support trivet: For use with the
steamer basket. The support rack
is placed below the steamer basket
in the pressure cooker, to keep the
contents of the steamer basket out of
the cooking liquid.

Cooking with the ZAVOR DUO
Pressure Cooker
NOTE: ZAVOR PRESSURE COOKERS ARE
INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD DOMESTIC
COOKING SURFACES ONLY .
Before the First Use
To open the pressure cooker, pull the
pressure lock towards the end of the
handle (Fig. 10) and slide the lid handle
to the right (counterclockwise) holding
the base handle with your left hand, and
lifting the lid.
Before using the Duo Pressure Cooker
for the first time, wash all the parts and
components with warm water and mild
dishwashing soap. Rinse well and towel
dry. The pressure cooker pot is dishwasher
safe. ZAVOR America recommends hand
washing the pressure cooker lid and all its
components.
Always remove the gasket when washing
the lid. Wash the gasket with warm,
soapy water; rinse well and towel dry.
Cover the gasket with a thin coat of
cooking oil (e.g., vegetable, olive, canola,
etc.). Follow this procedure every time
you wash the pressure cooker in order
to extend the life of the gasket and to
facilitate locking the lid in place.

Adding Food and Liquid

1. To cook with the DUO pressure cooker,
it is very important to use at least 1/2
a cup of liquid if you're cooking for 10
minutes or less, or 2 cups of water
if you're cooking for more than 10
minutes; NEVER USE LESS.
