Basic Operation:

• Opening the Lid: Ensure there is no pressure inside the cooker before attempting to open. The handle's mechanism will prevent opening if pressure is present. Slide or press the release button/lever on the handle as per your cooker's design, then rotate the lid to unlock and lift.
• Closing and Locking the Lid: Place the lid on the pot, aligning the handle with the pot handle. Rotate the lid until the handle clicks into the locked position. The handle's integrated locking feature ensures a secure seal for pressure cooking.
• Pressure Indicator: The handle typically features a visual pressure indicator (e.g., colored rings) that rises as pressure builds inside the cooker. Observe this indicator to monitor the cooking process and ensure safe pressure release.

Always follow the specific cooking and safety guidelines provided with your WMF Perfect Pressure Cooker for detailed usage instructions.
