Closing The Pressure Cooker - ELO Praktika Plus XS Mode D'emploi

Instructions for Use
Before you use your pressure cooker for the first time, wash and rinse it tho-
roughly in hot water and dry immediately.
We recommend lubricating the rubber gasket with a little cooking oil to make
opening and closing the lid easier.
Please inspect the bottom of the cookware and the hob for any remaining dirt,
Sticker and unevenness. Moving the cookware around may cause damage.
To ensure that the correct pressure to speed up the cooking process is produced
in the cooker, the pot must contain a minimum quantity of liquid (water, stock,
etc.).
If you are preparing a dish which creates a lot of froth, the pot must not be
more than half full.
If you are making a puree, casserole or soup, etc., we recommend shaking
the pot gently before opening.
Tips for energy-saving cooking
To save valuable energy when cooking, please bear the following in mind:
•
Remember that the pot bottom has a larger diameter than the hot plate,
and not vice-versa; this can save up to 15% energy.
•
Always use the cooker with the lid on, this saves up to 20% energy.
•
Make use of the after-heat of electrical hot plates. Switch off approxima-
tely 10 minutes before the cooking process is finished. This can save up
to 10% energy.

Closing the Pressure Cooker

Please check the safety devices before closing the pressure cooker.
Silicon
The pressure regulating valve opening (see fig.
seal
4) must be clean and the safety vent must not
be jammed. You can check this by pressing your
finger on the safety vent stopper (see fig. 4).
Safty vent fig. 4
If you are able to press the stopper in, the safe-
ty vent is working properly. If the stopper does not respond to the pressure and
is jammed, it must be loosened and cleaned, as described on page 12. Place
the lid on the cooking pot in such a way that the marking on the cooker handle
(black dot) is aligned with the "0" mar-
king on the lid (see fig. 5). Then press
the lid down slightly and turn it until both
handles are on top of one another.
The pressure cooker is now properly
closed.
Now set the pressure you require on the
pressure regulating valve:
