Før første brug:

1. Wash the cooker body, lid, vent weight, and gasket thoroughly with warm soapy water. Rinse well and dry.
2. Inspect the rubber gasket for any cracks or damage. Ensure it is properly seated in the lid.
3. Perform a test run: Fill the cooker with 2 cups of water. Place the lid on, ensuring it is securely closed. Place the vent weight on the steam vent pipe. Heat on high until steam escapes from the vent weight. Reduce heat and let it steam for 5 minutes. Turn off heat and allow pressure to release naturally before opening.

4. Betjeningsvejledning

Fyldning af komfuret:

• Do not fill the cooker more than two-thirds full with food and water. For foods that expand (e.g., rice, lentils), do not fill more than half full.
• Always add sufficient liquid as per your recipe.

Lukning af låget:

1. Placer låget på komfurets krop, og juster lågets håndtag med kroppens håndtag.
2. Press down on the lid handle and slide it into the body handle until it locks securely. The inside-fitting design ensures a tight seal.

Madlavning:

1. Place the cooker on a heat source (gas or electric stovetop compatible).
2. Heat on high until steam begins to escape from the steam vent pipe.
3. Place the vent weight on the steam vent pipe. The cooker will build pressure.
4. Once the vent weight begins to whistle, reduce the heat to maintain a steady whistle. Cook for the time specified in your recipe.

Releasing Tryk:

• Naturlig frigivelse: Turn off the heat and allow the pressure to drop naturally. This is recommended for most foods. The lid will not open until all pressure has been released.
• Hurtig frigivelse (kun for visse fødevarer): Carefully lift the vent weight with a spoon or fork to release steam. Be cautious of hot steam.

Åbning af låget:

Only open the lid once all pressure has been released. The lid handle will move freely when it's safe to open. Lift the lid handle and rotate it to remove the lid.

5. Sikkerhedsforanstaltninger

• Never force open the lid. Ensure all pressure is released before attempting to open.
• Rør ikke ved varme overflader. Brug håndtag og ovnhandsker.
• Hold børn væk fra trykkogeren under brug.
• Regularly inspect the gasket and safety valve for wear and tear. Replace if damaged.
• Ensure the steam vent pipe is clear before each use.

6. Pleje og vedligeholdelse

Rensning:

• Hand wash only. This pressure cooker is ikke opvaskemaskinesikker.
• Wash the cooker body and lid with warm soapy water after each use. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that can damage the hard anodised finish.
• Clean the vent weight and steam vent pipe regularly to prevent blockages.
• Tør alle dele grundigt før opbevaring.

Opbevaring:

Opbevar trykkogeren et tørt sted. Det anbefales at opbevare låget omvendt på komfurets krop for at tillade luftcirkulation og forhindre lugtgener.
