How to cook with a pressure cooker
1.- Before using the pressure cooker for the first time, pour in 1 liter of milk and 3 liters of water
and boil for 5 minutes without the cover. Next, drain the pressure cooker and wash it well.
By doing this, you will prevent the container from getting stained.
2.- Never fill the pressure cooker past 2/3 capacity, because the valves may get blocked when
cooking and when the valve goes down, food will come out along with steam that will get
everything in its path dirty.
Closing System
Proceed in the following way:
1.- Turn the center knob counter-clockwise, until the bridge descends, reaching the cover. Place
the cover on the pot.
2.- Be sure that the cover fits perfectly on the perimeter of the pot and the sides of the bridge
match up with the flaps on the body.
3.- Turn the center knob clockwise until the bridge puts pressure on the flaps on the pot. Once
they come into contact, turn the knob approximately 2-3 times, in order to guarantee it shuts
tightly.
4.- Insert the rotating pressure valve/counterweight in the hole.
Opening System
Proceed in the following way:
1.- To open the pot, be sure that the heat source is turned off. Remove the rotating valve support/
counterweight, slightly untightening it to the left, until dislodging it.
NOTE: DO NOT SUBMERGE THE POT IN WATER
2.- Once we are sure there is no pressure inside, turn the center knob counter-clockwise until the
bridge descends onto the cover.
3.- Lift the cover until dislodging it and pull it to one side to remove it.
Cooking
1.- Place the pot on the stove.
NOTE: Keep in mind that the material of the body is aluminum, and can only be used
with a gas stove.
2.- When the rotating pressure valve/counterweight start to turn, letting steam escape from the
exit valves, reduce the heat until the rotating pressure valve/counterweight slowly turn or stop
letting a small amount of steam escape.
NOTE: Cooking times are only counted after the time the rotating pressure
valve/counterweight start to turn.
