- ガスケットの取り付け: Ensure the rubber gasket is properly seated inside the lid rim.
- バルブチェック: Verify that the main steam regulator valve and auxiliary safety valves are clear and free from obstructions. Use the provided cleaning wire for the main valve if necessary.
操作手順
1. 圧力鍋に材料を入れる
- Add food and liquid to the pressure cooker.
- Do not fill the unit over 2/3 full.
- When cooking foods that expand (e.g., rice, dried beans), do not fill over 1/2 full.

2. Sealing the Lid (Inner Lid System)
The Universal Pressure Cooker features a traditional inner lid closure system. Follow these steps carefully to ensure a secure seal:
- Align the arrow on the lid with the body handle.
- Tilt the lid and slide it into the pot.
- Turn the lid handle to align it with the body handle.
- Place the lid on the pivot.
- Squeeze both handles together firmly until the lid is securely sealed. Adjust as needed for a perfect seal.
3. 圧力調理
- Place the sealed pressure cooker on a compatible stovetop (gas, electric, glass-ceramic).
- Turn the heat to high.
- Once pressure builds, the main steam regulator valve will begin to whistle, indicating that the ideal pressure level (11.60 PSI / 80 kPa) has been reached.
- レシピに従って、一定の笛の音または穏やかな蒸気の放出を維持するように火を弱めます。
- レシピに指定された時間調理してください。
4. レレasing 圧力
関係には主に2つの方法があるasing圧力:
- 自然放出: Turn off the heat and allow the pressure cooker to cool down naturally. The pressure indicator will drop, and the lid will unlock when all pressure is released. This method is suitable for foods that benefit from additional cooking time.
- Controlled Release (Practi-Press System): For quicker pressure release, carefully use the Practi-Press system or gently tilt the main steam regulator valve to allow steam to escape. Exercise extreme caution to avoid scalding from hot steam.
WARNING: Never attempt to open the lid until all internal pressure has been completely released.
5. Opening the Pressure Cooker
Once pressure is fully released, follow these steps to open the lid:
Step 1: Release Hook
Press both handles to release the hook from the body handle.

Image: Illustration showing how to press the handles to release the hook, initiating the lid opening process.
Step 2: Separate Handles

Step 4: Tilt the Lid
When the lid handle is horizontal, slightly tilt the lid down.
Step 5: Remove the Lid
Carefully remove the lid from the pot.
