How to use

Place ingredients and the recommended amount of liquid into the pressure cooker without exceeding the maximum fill level. Close the lid and engage the locking mechanism according to the manufacturer's alignment marks. Heat the cooker on a compatible stovetop until the pressure regulator indicates the set cooking pressure; then reduce heat to maintain stable pressure for the required cooking time. After cooking, follow the recommended pressure release method—either natural release or controlled steam release—before opening the lid. Always consult the included user manual for specific timing, safety precautions and maintenance instructions.

Usage recommendations

Use the pressure cooker for recipes that benefit from moist heat and reduced cooking time. Avoid overfilling with starchy foods to prevent blocking the pressure valve. Regularly inspect sealing components and valves for wear and clean them after each use to ensure safe operation and consistent performance.
