Pressure reduction tips for specific foods:
Foods with a short cooking time:
Use rapid pressure reduction as otherwise foods
can become overcooked.
Vegetables with a long cooking time / soups / meats, completely
covered by liquid / potatoes / cereals / dried pulses:
Use slow pressure reduction. Do not use water to cool!
(Potatoes could otherwise fall apart)
Meat (normal)/ vegetables / frozen vegetables / fresh fruits / dried
foods (excluding pulses):
Use normal or rapid pressure reduction (for deep frozen ready
meals, allow the pressure cooker to stand beside the heat source
for one minute before reducing pressure).
Fish / risotto:
Use rapid pressure reduction.
Foods with a high fat content or mushy foods (e.g. dried pulses): use
slow pressure reduction and gently shake the cooker before opening the
lid to prevent the contents from spitting when the lid is opened.
After cooking meat in its skin (e.g. ox tongue) which may swell under
the effect of pressure, do not prick the meat while the skin is swollen
as you might be scalded.
10. Cleaning and care instructions
Under normal circumstances, the valve is self-cleaning.
However, if food particles have passed through the valve,
then it is necessary to take the valve apart in order to clean
it. (See section 10.1.1)
Tighten loose handles or grips with a screwdriver. If you
have difficulties, contact your local dealer or a KUHN RIKON
Service Center. (See section 13)
After each use, remove the gasket from the lid. Wash the lid, taking
care to thoroughly clean the now uncovered rim of the lid as well as
the gasket when removed.
