Istruzioni per l'uso
Riempire la pentola a pressione
- Always add at least the minimum amount of liquid (indicated by the "min" mark) to generate steam.
- Do not exceed the "max" fill line to ensure safe operation.
- For foods that expand (e.g., rice, beans), do not fill more than 1/2 of the pot's capacity.

Processo di cottura
- Place the pressure cooker on the stovetop and heat on the highest energy level.
- Steam will escape from under the lid handle for a few minutes. This is normal and indicates oxygen is being released.
- Once steam release stops, pressure begins to build. The cooking indicator will rise, showing two white rings for different cooking settings.
- First ring: Gentle cooking (approx. 107 °C) for delicate dishes like fish or vegetables.
- Second ring: Express cooking (approx. 115 °C) for stews or meat.
- Adjust the stovetop heat when your desired cooking setting (white ring) is reached. If the indicator continues to rise after the second white ring appears, reduce the heat.
- Cooking times vary based on ingredients. Refer to recipes for specific timings.
Rilascio di pressione
After cooking, there are different options to release the steam:
- Opzione 1 (sgancio rapido): Press the button on the lid handle lightly. Continue pressing until the cooking indicator has completely lowered and no more steam escapes.
- Option 2 (Natural Release/Energy Saving): Use the residual heat by removing the pressure cooker from the stovetop shortly before the end of cooking time. Then press the button to release any remaining steam.

Apertura del coperchio
The pressure cooker will only open when there is no more pressure inside the pot. The locking indicator must be fully lowered (red) before attempting to open. Press the button on the handle and turn the lid to the left to open.
