4. Configurazione e primo utilizzo

1. Disimballare: Rimuovere con cautela tutto il materiale di imballaggio e ispezionare la pentola per verificare che non presenti danni.
2. Lavare: Prima del primo utilizzo, lavare il corpo della pentola, il coperchio, la guarnizione e la valvola di sicurezza con acqua tiepida e sapone. Risciacquare abbondantemente e asciugare.
3. Ispezionare la guarnizione: Ensure the gasket is properly seated in the lid groove. It should be flexible and free from cracks or damage.
4. Controllare il tubo di sfiato: Hold the lid against a light source and look through the vent tube to ensure it is clear.
5. Esecuzione di prova (facoltativa ma consigliata):
   • Add 2-3 cups of water to the cooker.
   • Close the lid securely (see "Operating Instructions").
   • Posizionare la valvola di peso sul tubo di sfiato.
   • Heat on medium-high until steam escapes from the weight valve.
   • Reduce heat and let it steam for 5-10 minutes.
   • Remove from heat and allow pressure to release naturally.
   • Open the lid (see "Operating Instructions"). This helps to clean the cooker and familiarize you with its operation.

5. Istruzioni per l'uso

5.1. Riempimento della pentola

• Add food and the required amount of liquid to the cooker.
• Do not fill above 2/3 capacity. For foods that expand (e.g., rice, lentils), do not fill above 1/2 capacity.

5.2. Chiusura del coperchio

Align the lid with the cooker body, ensuring the gasket is correctly positioned. Lower the lid onto the cooker body and rotate the lid handle to align with the body handle. The lid should fit snugly and securely. Do not force it.

5.3. Cottura sotto pressione

1. Place the weight valve (regulator) on the vent tube of the lid.
2. Place the cooker on a heat source (gas, induction, electric stovetop).
3. Heat on high until steam starts escaping from the weight valve. The pressure indicator will rise.
4. Once steam begins to escape steadily, reduce the heat to maintain a gentle, steady steam release.
5. Cuocere per il tempo consigliato dalla ricetta.

5.4. Rilascioasing Pressione e apertura del coperchio

Esistono due metodi per la releasinpressione g:

• Rilascio naturale: Remove the cooker from the heat source and allow it to cool down naturally. The pressure indicator will drop completely, and no steam will escape when the weight valve is gently nudged. This method is ideal for foods that benefit from continued cooking.
• Quick Release (Use with Caution): For faster pressure release, you can carefully place the cooker under cold running water, avoiding the weight valve and vent tube, until the pressure indicator drops. Alternatively, you can lift the weight valve using a utensil (never your hand) to release steam. Always ensure the pressure indicator has dropped completely before attempting to open the lid.

Once pressure is fully released, gently rotate the lid handle to unlock and lift the lid. Always open the lid away from your face to avoid residual steam.

6. Manutenzione e pulizia

• Pulizia giornaliera: Dopo ogni utilizzo, lavare il corpo della pentola, il coperchio, la guarnizione e la valvola di bilanciamento con acqua tiepida e sapone. Risciacquare abbondantemente e asciugare immediatamente per evitare macchie d'acqua.
• Cura della guarnizione: Remove the gasket from the lid after each use for cleaning. Store it loosely or hang it to prevent deformation. Replace the gasket if it becomes hard, cracked, or loses its elasticity (typically every 6-12 months depending on usage).
• Tubo di sfiato: Ensure the vent tube is always clear. Use a small brush or pin if necessary to remove any food particles.
• Spina di sicurezza: Periodically check the metallic safety plug for any blockages or damage. Replace if necessary.
• Esterno: For stubborn stains on the stainless steel exterior, use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner.
• Sicurezza della lavastoviglie: Questo articolo è non lavabile in lavastoviglieSi raccomanda il lavaggio a mano.
