1. Aggiungere gli ingredienti: Place food and the required amount of liquid into the pressure cooker. Do not exceed the maximum fill lines (two-thirds full for most foods, half full for expanding foods).
2. Fissare il coperchio: Place the lid on the pot, aligning the arrows or indicators. Rotate the lid clockwise until it locks securely into place. Ensure the sealing ring is properly seated.
3. Position Regulator Weight: Place the regulator weight onto the pressure indication valve stem on the lid.
4. Applicazione del calore: Place the pressure cooker on your compatible cooktop over high heat.
5. Accumulo di pressione: As steam builds, it will escape from the pressure indication valve, causing the regulator weight to jiggle. This indicates that full pressure has been reached.
6. Tempo di cottura: Once full pressure is reached, reduce the heat to the lowest setting that maintains a steady, gentle jiggling of the regulator weight. Begin timing your recipe.
7. Pressure Release (Natural Release): For most foods, especially those with high liquid content or that foam, remove the pressure cooker from heat and allow the pressure to drop naturally. This can take 10-20 minutes or more. Do not attempt to open the lid until the pressure indication valve has dropped completely and no steam is escaping.
8. Pressure Release (Quick Release - Use with Caution): For some foods, you may carefully move the pressure cooker to a sink and run cold water over the lid (avoiding the valve) to cool it rapidly and release pressure. Alternatively, you can carefully lift the regulator weight to release steam. Always keep hands and face away from escaping steam. Only use quick release if specified by your recipe and if you are experienced with pressure cookers.
9. Apri il coperchio: Once all pressure is released, unlock and remove the lid. Always open the lid away from your face to avoid residual steam.

6. Manutenzione e pulizia

Una corretta manutenzione garantisce la longevità e il funzionamento sicuro della pentola a pressione.

• Dopo ogni utilizzo: Wash the pot and lid with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots and corrosion.
• Anello di tenuta: Remove the rubber sealing ring from the lid after each use for thorough cleaning. Wash it separately with warm soapy water, rinse, and dry. Ensure it is flexible and free from cracks or damage before re-installing. Replace if damaged or stiff.
• Pressure Indication Valve and Vent: Regularly check the pressure indication valve and steam vent for food particles or blockages. Use the needle probe to clear any obstructions.
