Instruccions importants de seguretat

When using pressure cookers, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of injury or damage. Read all instructions carefully.

• No toqueu superfícies calentes. Utilitzeu nanses o poms.
• És necessària una supervisió estreta quan l’olla a pressió s’utilitza a prop de nens.
• No col·loqueu l'olla a pressió en un forn calent.
• Cal extremar la precaució quan es mou una olla a pressió que contingui líquids calents.
• No utilitzeu l'olla a pressió per a un altre ús que el previst.
• Aquest aparell cuina sota pressió. Un ús incorrecte pot provocar cremades. Assegureu-vos que la unitat estigui correctament tancada abans de fer-la funcionar. Vegeu les "Instruccions d'ús".
• No ompliu la unitat més de 2/3 de la seva capacitat. Quan cuineu aliments que s'expandeixen durant la cocció, com ara arròs o verdures seques, no ompliu la unitat més de la meitat.
• Tingueu en compte que certs aliments, com ara la compota de poma, els nabius, l'ordi perlat, la farina de civada o altres cereals, els pèsols partits, els fideus, els macarrons, el ruibarbre o els espaguetis poden fer escuma, esquitxar i obstruir el dispositiu d'alliberament de pressió. Aquests aliments no s'han de cuinar en una olla a pressió.
• Comproveu sempre que els dispositius d'alliberament de pressió estiguin obstruïts abans d'utilitzar-los.
• No obriu l'olla a pressió fins que la unitat s'hagi refredat i s'hagi alliberat la pressió interna. Si les nanses són difícils de separar, això indica que l'olla encara està pressuritzada. No la forceu per obrir-la. Qualsevol pressió a l'olla pot ser perillosa. Vegeu les "Instruccions d'ús".
• No utilitzeu aquesta olla a pressió per fregir amb oli a pressió.
• Ensure the gasket is correctly seated before closing the lid.
• Only use genuine KITCHEN MOVE spare parts.

Configuració i primer ús

1. Desembalatge: Traieu amb cura tots els materials d'embalatge i inspeccioneu l'olla a pressió per detectar qualsevol dany.
2. Neteja inicial: Before first use, wash all parts (pot, lid, gasket, steaming basket) with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
3. Instal·lació de la junta: Ensure the silicone gasket is properly seated in the lid's groove. It should fit snugly and evenly.
4. Prova d'execució (opcional però recomanada): For your first use, it is recommended to perform a test run with water only.
   • Fill the pot with 2-3 cups of water.
   • Close the lid securely (see "Closing the Lid" in Operating Instructions).
   • Place the cooker on a heat source and bring to pressure.
   • Once pressure is reached (valve rises/steam escapes), reduce heat and let it cook for 5-10 minutes.
   • Release pressure (see "Releasing Pressure" in Operating Instructions) and open the lid.
   • Discard the water and dry the cooker.

Instruccions de funcionament

1. Omplir l'olla a pressió

• Afegiu els ingredients i la quantitat de líquid necessària a l'olla.
• Do not fill the pot more than 2/3 full. For foods that expand (e.g., rice, beans), do not fill more than 1/2 full.
• If using the steaming basket, place the basket support at the bottom, then the basket with food, and add water below the basket level.

2. Tancament de la tapa

• Align the lid with the pot. The handles on the lid should align with the handles on the pot.
• Press down firmly on the lid and rotate the top handle to engage the locking mechanism. Ensure the lid is securely locked and the handles are aligned. You should hear a click or feel it lock into place.
• Verify that the pressure regulator valve is clean and properly seated.

3. Cuinar sota pressió

• Place the closed pressure cooker on a suitable heat source (gas, electric, ceramic, induction).
• Set the heat to high. Steam will begin to escape from the pressure regulator valve, and the pressure indicator will rise.
• Once the desired pressure is reached (indicated by a steady hiss of steam or the pressure indicator reaching its maximum), reduce the heat to maintain a gentle, steady release of steam. This is when the cooking time begins.
• Refer to a pressure cooking recipe or guide for specific cooking times for various foods.

4. ReleuasinPressió g

There are three main methods for releasinpressió g:

• Alliberament natural: Remove the pressure cooker from the heat source and allow it to cool down naturally. The pressure will gradually decrease, and the pressure indicator will drop. This method is ideal for foods that benefit from continued cooking, like stews and roasts.
• Alliberament ràpid (mètode d'aigua freda): For faster pressure release, place the pressure cooker under cold running water (avoiding the lid's valve area) until the pressure indicator drops. This method is suitable for delicate foods like vegetables.
• Alliberament manual: Carefully turn the pressure regulator valve to the "vent" or "steam release" position. Steam will rapidly escape. Keep hands and face away from the steam. This method is fast but can be noisy and release a lot of steam.

WARNING: Never attempt to open the lid until all internal pressure has been released and the pressure indicator has dropped completely.

5. Obrir la tapa

• Once the pressure indicator has dropped and no more steam is escaping, rotate the lid handle to unlock it.
• Carefully lift the lid away from you to allow any remaining steam to escape safely.

Cura i Manteniment

• Neteja: After each use, wash all parts of the pressure cooker with warm soapy water. The stainless steel pot and basket are dishwasher safe. The lid, especially the valve mechanisms, should be hand-washed to ensure thorough cleaning and prevent clogging.
• Cura de les juntes: Remove the silicone gasket from the lid for cleaning. Wash it thoroughly and allow it to dry completely before re-inserting. Inspect the gasket regularly for cracks or damage; replace if necessary.
• Neteja de vàlvules: Regularly check the pressure regulator valve and safety valve for any food particles or blockages. Clean them using a small brush or toothpick if needed. Ensure they move freely.
• Emmagatzematge: Guardeu l'olla a pressió amb la tapa invertida sobre l'olla per permetre la circulació de l'aire i evitar olors.
• Descalcificació: If hard water stains appear, use a stainless steel cleaner or a solution of vinegar and water to remove them.
