USER INSTRUCTIONS1. Beforeyoustartusingthecookerforthefirsttime,checkifalltheparts

Liquidfoods,soups,stews 1/2fullincludingliquidSolidfoods,vegetables, onepotmealjoints 2/3fullincludingliquid

Note: a) If you overfill, the ingredients may touch the mesh assembly which

may lead to malfunctioning of the safety system. Ensure mesh assembly is firmly pressed in position, and is not clogged.

b) The amount of water that is added for cooking in the Microwave Pressure Cooker is important. If excess water is added for cooking, the pressure cooker is so designed that the gasket may release the excess water inside the Microwave Oven. While this is not dangerous, it still will make a mess inside the Oven.

If the recipe calls for excess water like soups, it is advisable to cook with less water in the Microwave Pressure Cooker and add the water subsequently.

3. Place the gasket in position. Close the lid by aligning the arrows onthe lidopening/closingAidandbodyopening/closingAid, turnthelid clockwiseuntil the lidopening/closingAidcomesabove thebodyopening/closingAid.Ensurethesplashguardispressedfirmlyinposition.

SAFETY FEATURES1.0 All components of your Microwave Pressure Cooker have been manufactured with microwave permeable materials which are food compatible. No metal parts are used in the assembly. All components pass all the necessary global standards as,• LFGB (EUFrameworkDirective (EC)No.1935/2004and§§31LFGB,

publishedintheBundesgesetzblatt(FederalLawGazette)No.55dated06.09.2005

WHY USE A MICROWAVE PRESSURE COOKER?

Whencookingfoodonthehob,intheovenormicrowave,waterboilsat212°Fandwillstayatthistemperatureduringthecookingprocess.Thisisbecause the lidsofnormalpansallowsteamtoescape. Ifa tightseal isformedthenpressureinsideapanisincreasedandthecontentswillactuallyreachhighertemperaturesandconsequentlycookfoodmuchfaster.
