Instruccions importants de seguretat

Quan utilitzeu olles a pressió, sempre s'han de seguir les precaucions bàsiques de seguretat:

• Llegiu atentament totes les instruccions.
• 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. Si s'ompli massa, es pot obstruir el tub de ventilació i generar un excés de pressió. Vegeu les "Instruccions d'ús".
• 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".
• Do not use this pressure cooker for deep frying with oil.
• To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or pressure cooker in water or other liquid.

Alliberament de pressió

Once cooking is complete, you must release the pressure before opening the lid. There are two main methods:

• Alliberament natural: Remove the cooker from the heat source and allow it to cool down naturally. The pressure indicator will drop on its own. This method is ideal for foods that benefit from continued cooking, such as stews and roasts.
• Llançament ràpid: For faster pressure release, carefully turn the all-in-one knob to the steam release position. Steam will escape rapidly. Precaució: Keep hands and face away from the steam vent. This method is suitable for delicate foods that can overcook quickly.

Do not attempt to open the lid until the cooking signal has fully retracted and no pressure remains inside the cooker.

• Muntatge del mànec: The handle assembly is removable for easy cleaning. It should be hand-washed only. Do not immerse the handle in water. Rinse under running water, ensuring all food particles are removed from the valves and mechanisms.
• Anell de segellat: Remove the sealing ring from the lid after each use and wash it separately. Ensure it is clean and free of food residue before reinserting. Replace the sealing ring annually or if it shows signs of wear or cracking.
• Valves and Vents: Regularly check the cooking signal, safety valve, and other vents for any blockages. Use a small brush or toothpick if necessary to clear any debris.
