2. Säkerhetsriktlinjer

Operating a pressure cooker requires adherence to specific safety measures. Always follow these guidelines to prevent accidents and ensure safe cooking.

• Läs instruktionerna: Always read the entire instruction manual before using the pressure cooker.
• Proper Filling: Never fill the pressure cooker beyond two-thirds of its capacity. For foods that expand (e.g., rice, beans), do not fill beyond half capacity. Refer to the internal markings.
• Locksäkerhet: Ensure the lid is properly closed and locked before applying heat. The pressure cooker is designed with a safety mechanism that prevents the lid from opening if internal pressure has not been fully released.
• Tryckavlastning: Always allow pressure to release completely before attempting to open the lid. Never force the lid open.
• Värmekälla: Use only compatible heat sources (induction or gas stovetops). Do not use in an oven or microwave.
• Underhåll: Regularly inspect the gasket, pressure valve, and safety valve for wear or damage. Replace components as needed.
• Barn och husdjur: Keep the pressure cooker out of reach of children and pets, especially during operation.
