4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Filling the Pressure Cooker

• Add food and liquid to the pot. Do not fill more than two-thirds full for most foods, and no more than half full for foods that expand (e.g., rice, beans).
• Ensure the sealing ring is correctly positioned in the lid.

4.2 Securing the Lid

• Align the lid with the pot body according to the markings (if present).
• Rotate the lid handle clockwise until it locks securely into place. Ensure the lid is fully sealed.

4.3 Cooking Under Pressure

• Place the pressure cooker on a suitable heat source.
• Heat on high until steam begins to escape steadily from the pressure regulator.
• Reduce heat to maintain a steady, gentle release of steam or pressure indicator.
• Cook for the recommended time.

4.4 Releasing Pressure

There are generally two methods for releasing pressure:

1. Natural Release: Remove the cooker from heat and allow pressure to dissipate naturally. This is suitable for foods that benefit from continued cooking.
2. Quick Release: For faster pressure release, carefully turn the pressure regulator to the vent position or use the quick release valve (if equipped). Caution: Hot steam will be released. Keep hands and face away.

Never attempt to open the lid until all pressure has been released and the safety indicator has dropped.

4.5 Opening the Lid

• Once pressure is fully released, rotate the lid handle counter-clockwise to unlock.
• Carefully lift the lid away from you to avoid steam burns.

5. Maintenance and Care

5.1 Cleaning

• After each use, allow the cooker to cool completely.
• Wash the pot body and lid with warm soapy water. For stubborn food residues, soak before cleaning.
• Remove the sealing ring and wash it separately. Ensure it is clean and flexible before reinserting.
• Clean the pressure regulator and safety valve openings to ensure they are free from food particles. Use a small brush if necessary.
• Rinse all parts thoroughly and dry completely to prevent water spots and corrosion.

5.2 Storage

• Store the pressure cooker with the lid inverted or slightly ajar to allow air circulation and prevent odors.
• Store in a dry place.
