5.1 Filling the Pot

• Always add at least 250ml (approximately 1 cup) of liquid to generate sufficient steam.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill line indicated inside the pot. For foods that expand (e.g., rice, dried vegetables), fill no more than 1/2 full. For other foods, fill no more than 2/3 full.

2. Rotate the lid handle clockwise until it clicks into place, indicating a secure lock.

5.3 Setting Cooking Levels

The Sicomatic econtrol features three pre-defined cooking levels, selected via the innovative one-hand control dial on the lid handle:

• Level 1 (Gentle Cooking): Ideal for delicate foods like fish, vegetables, and fruits.
• Level 2 (Fast Cooking): Suitable for most meats, stews, and legumes.
• Level 3 (Steam Cooking): For steaming without pressure, or for specific recipes requiring higher pressure.

Turn the control dial to select the desired cooking level. The clear cooking level display will indicate your selection.

5.4 Pressure Build-up and Cooking

1. Place the pressure cooker on a suitable heat source (compatible with all hob types, including induction).
2. Heat on high until the pressure indicator rises to the selected cooking level. The valve system ensures oxygen-rich air escapes during the initial heating phase.
3. Once the desired pressure level is reached, reduce the heat to maintain that level. Cooking time begins now.

5.5 Pressure Release and Opening

After cooking, remove the pot from the heat. There are two methods to release pressure:

• Naturlig frigivelse: Allow the pressure cooker to cool down naturally. The pressure indicator will slowly drop. This method is suitable for foods that benefit from continued cooking, such as stews and roasts.
• Hurtig frigivelse: For foods that require immediate stopping of the cooking process, carefully turn the control dial to the steam release position. Steam will escape rapidly. Once the pressure indicator has fully dropped, it is safe to open the lid.

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

Korrekt rengøring og vedligeholdelse sikrer din trykkogers lange levetid og sikre drift.

1. Demontering til rengøring: The lid handle is easily removable for thorough cleaning. Simply press the release button and slide the handle off.
2. Pot and Lid: The Silargan pot and stainless steel lid are dishwasher safe.
3. Sealing Ring and Lid Handle: The sealing ring and the lid handle should be washed by hand with warm soapy water. Ensure all parts are thoroughly rinsed and dried before reassembly.
4. Ventilsystem: The Sicomatic econtrol features a maintenance-free valve system. However, always ensure the steam vent and pressure indicator are clear of food particles before and after each use.
5. Silargan Surface: The non-porous, closed Silargan surface is easy to clean, cut-resistant, scratch-resistant, and taste-neutral. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could damage the surface.

7. Fejlfinding

Hvis du støder på problemer med din trykkoger, kan du bruge følgende almindelige løsninger:

• Lid will not close: Ensure the sealing ring is correctly positioned and not twisted. Check for any food debris obstructing the lid's locking mechanism.
• Presset opbygges ikke: Verify that the lid is securely closed and locked. Check the sealing ring for damage or improper placement. Ensure there is sufficient liquid in the pot. Increase heat if necessary.
• Steam escaping from lid edges: This usually indicates a problem with the sealing ring. Inspect it for damage, cracks, or improper seating. Replace if necessary.
• Lid will not open after cooking: This means there is still pressure inside. Do not force it. Allow more time for natural pressure release or use the quick release method (if safe for your food) until the pressure indicator has fully dropped.
