โขApply some cooking oil to the sealing ring and surrounding slide openings-----this eases the opening and closing of the cooker. (Fig 1&2)
โขBefore every use, open the lid of block-proof and check carefully in the light to ensure that there are no blockages of the vent pipe and that the block-proof, interlock assembly and safety valve are clean. If there is any blockages found, clear it immediately.
โขDo not fill up the pressure cooker above 3/4 of its full capacity, (Fig3) not above 2/3 when cooking rice, (Fig4) lower than half when cooking such expandable ingredients as porridge, soup, milk, soybean, corn and alga. (Fig 5)
โขTo close the lid----make sure that the arrowhead on the lid coincides fully with the arrowhead on the cooker handle----rotate the handle clockwise until it aligns with the cooker handle. (Fig6&7) For the newly bought Pressure Cooker, press the lid with left hand, rotate the handles strongly a few times with right hand to ensure proper use.
โขPlace the pressure regulator onto the vent pipe when regular steam escapes from the vent pipe and the vent next to the handle. (Fig8) During the steaming session, the Pressure indicator will rise and seal automatically. (Fig9) Reduce the heat immediately once steam escapes at regular intervals; keep that state until the food is well done. (Fig10)" Refer to reference table of cooking times for different kinds of foods."
โขRemove the pressure the pressure cooker from the source of heat; cool down beforeย opening the lid. There are two ways of cooling: Cooling slowly under natural ambient temperature. Forced cooling by cold water. (Fig 11)
โขRemove the pressure regulator before opening the lid: wait until all steam has been released from the vent pipe. When the pressure indicator has returned to its housing, rotate the lid handle counter-clockwise until the arrowhead on the lid aligns with the arrowhead on the cooker handle, and the open the lid. (Fig12).Note: while rotating the lid handles upward, but turn it at a level. This will ensure the handles not be damaged.
