Minimum:
• When cooking directly in the pan always add a

Fig 4 (1)
• Place it on a heat source set to maximum heat.
See Fig 4 (2) until steam starts to escape in a steady
stream, similar to the steam you get when you boil
water in a tea kettle.
Lower the heat to medium or medium high, whichever
maintains a steady stream of steam.
FOOD PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS
COOKING:
Before each use, check that the pressure regulator valve and
safety valve inside the lid move freely. See Fig 5.
Fill the One Pot with food as directed in the recipe.
Do not fill the over mark “M” inside the pot (less
than 2/3 full). When cooking foods that expand
during cooking such as rice or dried vegetables, do not fill
the unit over 1/2 height of mark “M” (less than 1/2 full).
Over filling may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and
developing excess pressure.
Place the pan on a heat source and set it to maximum heat.
Cooking starts when the steam begins to escape continuously
from the steam vent (A) (emitting a whistling sound), when
this happens turn the heat down.
You can open the One Pot at any time, to add
ingredients or to check whether the contents are
cooked, but you must follow the instructions below.
To open: turn the open/close knob (C) counter clockwise to the steam symbol without going
further (See Fig. 6) until the visual locking indicator (D) drops down.
If any food or liquid sprays out of the pot while you are opening the cooker, lock it again.
Turn off the heat and allow it to cool naturally for a few minutes. Try opening the
cooker again, if no food escapes, complete the opening as directed below. If food is still
escaping from the pot, allow the One Pot to cool completely before opening. Reheat the food,
if needed, without the cover.
Once the visual locking indicator (D) has dropped, you can continue opening to the pan open
position. You can then lift off the lid.
To lock the quick cooker, place the lid on the pan and lock it by turning the open/close knob
(C) on the lid clockwise to the lid closed position. See Fig 2 on page 6.
