3. The pot body is dishwasher safe. The lid, however, must be hand washed to protect its intricate components.

2. Place the lid on the pot, aligning the arrows or indicators, and close it securely until you hear a click or feel it lock into place.
3. Place the cooker on a heat source set to medium-high.
4. Observe as steam begins to escape from the operating valve, and the pressure indicator rises.
5. Once pressure is reached, reduce heat to maintain a steady steam release.
6. After 5-10 minutes, remove the cooker from heat and allow pressure to release naturally, or use a quick release method if specified in the operating section.
7. Once the pressure indicator drops completely, open the lid safely.

4. Návod k obsluze

4.1 Příprava k vaření

1. Add your ingredients and the required amount of liquid to the pot. Do not fill the cooker more than two-thirds full for most foods, and no more than half full for foods that expand (e.g., beans, grains).

4.4 Metody uvolnění tlaku

There are two primary ways to release pressure:

• Přirozené uvolňování: Remove the pressure cooker from the heat source and allow it to cool down naturally. The pressure indicator will drop on its own as the internal pressure decreases. This method is ideal for foods that benefit from a longer cooking time or that might foam.
• Rychlé vydání: For faster pressure release, carefully place the pressure cooker under cold running water, avoiding the operating valve, until the pressure indicator drops. Alternatively, for some models, you may be able to manually release steam through the operating valve (refer to specific lid instructions if applicable). Use extreme caution with this method due to hot steam.

Only open the lid once the pressure indicator has fully dropped and no steam is escaping. Forcing the lid open while pressurized can cause serious injury.
