3. Configuración y primer uso

3.1 Desembalaje y limpieza inicial

1. Remove all packaging materials and labels from the pressure cooker.
2. Wash the pot, lid, and all removable parts (sealing gasket, pressure release valve) with warm, soapy water.
3. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before assembly.

3.2 Montaje de la tapa

• Ensure the sealing gasket is correctly seated inside the lid rim.
• Place the pressure release valve onto its designated post on the lid, ensuring it is securely fitted.

4. Instrucciones de funcionamiento

4.1 Llenado de la olla a presión

• Add ingredients and liquid to the pot. Do not fill more than 2/3 full for most foods, and no more than 1/2 full for foods that expand (e.g., rice, beans).
• Ensure there is always a minimum amount of liquid (typically 1 cup) to generate steam.

4.2 Sealing the Lid

1. Align the lid with the pot, ensuring the handles are offset.
2. Lower the lid onto the pot and rotate the main handle until it locks securely into place with the auxiliary handle. You should hear a click.
3. Ensure the pressure release valve is set to the desired pressure setting (e.g., 1 or 2) or to the sealed position, as per your recipe.

4.3 Cocinar bajo presión

1. Place the pressure cooker on a suitable heat source (induction, gas, or electric stovetop).
2. Heat on high until the pressure indicator rises and steam begins to escape from the valve.
3. Reduce heat to maintain a steady, gentle stream of steam or a consistent wobble of the pressure regulator.
4. Begin timing your recipe once full pressure is reached.

4.4 Releasing Presión

Hay dos métodos principales para releasing presión:

• Liberación natural: Remove the cooker from heat and allow it to cool down naturally. The pressure indicator will drop on its own. This method is suitable for foods that benefit from additional cooking time, such as stews and roasts.
• Liberación rápida: Carefully turn the pressure release valve to the "steam release" position. Steam will rapidly escape. This method is suitable for delicate foods like vegetables to prevent overcooking. Exercise extreme caution to avoid steam burns.

Abra la tapa únicamente cuando el indicador de presión haya bajado completamente y no salga vapor.

5. Mantenimiento y limpieza

5.1 Limpieza diaria

• After each use, wash the pot and lid with warm, soapy water.
• Remove the sealing gasket and wash it separately. Inspect for cracks or damage.
• Clean the pressure release valve and pressure indicator thoroughly to ensure no food particles obstruct them.
• The pot is dishwasher safe. Hand washing is recommended for the lid and its components to prolong their lifespan.
• Seque todas las piezas por completo antes de guardarlas.

5.2 Almacenamiento

Guarde la olla a presión con la tapa invertida o ligeramente entreabierta para permitir la circulación del aire y evitar olores.
