Vigtige sikkerhedsinstruktioner
Failure to follow these safety instructions may result in serious injury or damage to the product.
- Læs alle instruktioner grundigt før brug.
- Rør ikke ved varme overflader. Brug håndtag eller knopper.
- Tæt overvågning er nødvendig, når trykkogeren bruges i nærheden af børn.
- Anbring ikke trykkogeren i en opvarmet ovn.
- Udvis ekstrem forsigtighed, når du flytter en trykkoger, der indeholder varme væsker.
- Brug ikke trykkogeren til andre formål end dens tilsigtede anvendelse.
- This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding injury. Ensure the unit is properly closed before operating.
- Never force open a pressure cooker. Ensure the internal pressure has completely dropped before opening.
- Do not fill the unit over 2/3 full. When cooking foods that expand during cooking, such as rice or dried vegetables, do not fill the unit over 1/2 full. Overfilling may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and developing excess pressure.
- Vær opmærksom på, at visse fødevarer, såsom æblemos, tranebær, perlebyg, havregryn eller andre kornsorter, flækærter, nudler, makaroni, rabarber eller spaghetti, kan skumme, sprutte og tilstoppe trykudligningsanordningen. Disse fødevarer bør ikke tilberedes i en trykkoger.
- Kontrollér altid, at trykaflastningsanordningerne er tilstoppede før brug.
- After cooking, always check the vent weight and safety valve to ensure they are clear and free from food particles.
- Use only genuine Hawkins replacement parts.

Komponenter overview
Billede: Detaljeret view of the pressure cooker components and features.
- Komfurhus: Made from pure, virgin aluminum, designed for strength and hygiene.
- Indvendigt låg: This design ensures the lid cannot be opened while there is pressure inside, enhancing safety. It also helps the gasket last longer.
- Gummi pakning: Creates an airtight seal between the lid and the cooker body.
- Vent Weight (Pressure Regulator): Sits on the vent tube to regulate pressure inside the cooker. An improved design reduces dal sprouting and saves fuel.
- Hawkins Safety Valve: A proprietary eutectic alloy safety valve designed to operate reliably in case of excess pressure buildup. It is shielded under the lid handle bar to deflect steam safely.
- Sturdy, Strong Handles: Designed for comfortable grip and safe handling, with hot metal parts recessed for user protection. The 'play' or movement in the handle bar is a design feature for better sealing.
Betjeningsvejledning
1. Preparing the Cooker:
- Ensure the rubber gasket is properly seated in the lid groove.
- Check that the vent tube and safety valve are clear of any obstructions.
2. Påfyldning af komfuret:
- Add food and the required amount of water to the cooker body.
- Do not fill the cooker more than two-thirds full. For foods that expand (e.g., rice, lentils), do not fill more than half full.
3. Closing the Lid:
- Place the lid on the cooker body, aligning the lid handle with the body handle.
- Press down firmly on the lid and rotate the lid handle until it locks securely under the body handle. The inside-fitting design ensures a tight seal.
4. Heating and Pressure Building:
- Place the vent weight on the vent tube.
- Placer komfuret på et komfur ved middel til høj varme.
- Steam will begin to escape from the vent tube. Once a steady stream of steam is released, the vent weight will begin to jiggle, indicating that full pressure has been reached.
- Reduce heat to maintain a steady jiggling of the vent weight.
5. Cooking Time:
- Kog i den tid, der er angivet i din opskrift.
- Refer to the included instruction manual with tested recipes for guidance.

6. Reléasing Pressure and Opening the Cooker:
- After cooking, turn off the heat.
- Allow the pressure to release naturally. This means waiting until the vent weight stops jiggling and no more steam is escaping. This can take several minutes.
- Once all pressure has been released, gently lift the vent weight to confirm no steam escapes.
- Carefully rotate the lid handle to unlock it and remove the lid. Always open the lid away from your face to avoid residual steam.
Vedligeholdelse og pleje
- Rensning: Wash the cooker body, lid, gasket, and vent weight with warm soapy water after each use. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots or corrosion.
- Opvaskemaskinesikkerhed: This pressure cooker is NOT dishwasher safe. Kun håndvask.
- Pleje af pakning: Inspect the rubber gasket regularly for cracks, tears, or hardening. Replace the gasket if it shows signs of wear to ensure a proper seal. Store the gasket loosely or outside the lid when not in use to prolong its life.
- Ventilationsvægt og ventilationsrør: Ensure the vent weight is clean and moves freely. Clean the vent tube with a small brush to remove any food particles that could cause blockages.
- Sikkerhedsventil: Periodically check the safety valve for any blockages or damage. If the safety valve has operated, it must be replaced with a genuine Hawkins part.
- Opbevaring: Store the pressure cooker in a dry place. It is recommended to store the lid inverted on the cooker body to allow air circulation and prevent odors.
Fejlfinding
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Steam leaking from under the lid | Gasket improperly seated, worn gasket, food particles on rim, lid not closed properly. | Re-seat gasket, replace worn gasket, clean rim and gasket, ensure lid is securely locked. |
| Pressure not building / Vent weight not jiggling | Insufficient liquid, vent tube clogged, lid not sealed, low heat. | Add more liquid, clean vent tube, ensure lid is sealed, increase heat. |
| Låget sidder fast efter tilberedning | Resttryk indeni. | Allow more time for natural pressure release. Do not force open. Run cold water over the lid (avoiding the vent) to cool faster if necessary. |
| Mad der brænder i bunden | Too little liquid, heat too high, cooking time too long. | Ensure adequate liquid, reduce heat once pressure is reached, adjust cooking time. |
