Instrucciones de seguridad importantes
Al usar ollas a presión, siempre se deben seguir las precauciones básicas de seguridad:
- Read all instructions thoroughly before operating the pressure handi.
- No toque superficies calientes. Utilice asas o perillas.
- Close supervision is necessary when the pressure handi is used near children.
- Do not place the pressure handi in a heated oven.
- Extreme caution must be used when moving a pressure handi containing hot liquids.
- Do not use the pressure handi for purposes other than its intended use.
- Este aparato cocina a presión. El uso inadecuado puede provocar quemaduras. Asegúrese de que la unidad esté bien cerrada antes de usarla.
- Never force open the pressure handi. Ensure the internal pressure is completely released before opening.
- No llene la unidad a más de 2/3 de su capacidad. Al cocinar alimentos que se expanden durante la cocción, como arroz o verduras secas, no llene la unidad a más de la mitad de su capacidad. Llenarla demasiado puede obstruir el tubo de ventilación y generar sobrepresión.
- Tenga en cuenta que ciertos alimentos, como el puré de manzana, los arándanos rojos, la cebada perlada, la avena u otros cereales, los guisantes partidos, los fideos, los macarrones, el ruibarbo o los espaguetis, pueden formar espuma y chisporrotear, obstruyendo el dispositivo de liberación de presión. Estos alimentos no deben cocinarse en una olla a presión.
- Siempre verifique que el dispositivo de liberación de presión no esté obstruido antes de usarlo.
- After cooking, allow the pressure handi to cool and release pressure naturally, or use the quick release method as instructed.
- Ensure the gasket is properly seated and free from damage before each use.

Instrucciones de funcionamiento
Uso de la tapa de presión
- Añadir ingredientes: Place your food and the required amount of liquid into the pressure handi. Do not exceed the 2/3 fill line (or 1/2 for expanding foods).
- Cerrar la tapa: Place the pressure lid onto the handi body, aligning the handles. Rotate the lid clockwise until it locks securely into place. The unique pressure indicator should be down.
- Aplicar calor: Place the pressure handi on a suitable heat source (induction compatible base). Use medium to high heat.
- Acumulación de presión: As pressure builds, the unique pressure indicator will rise. Once it rises, place the weight valve (pressure regulator) onto the vent pipe.
- Cocinar bajo presión: The weight valve will begin to whistle or release steam steadily, indicating that full pressure has been reached. Reduce heat to maintain a steady pressure. Cook for the recommended time.
- Liberar presión: Once cooking is complete, remove the pressure handi from the heat source. Allow pressure to release naturally (cooling down) or use the quick release method by carefully lifting the weight valve with a utensil to release steam. Ensure the pressure indicator drops completely before attempting to open.
- Tapa abierta: Once the pressure indicator is fully down, rotate the lid counter-clockwise and lift to open.
Uso de la tapa de vidrio
The included glass lid can be used for conventional cooking methods (e.g., simmering, boiling without pressure) or for serving. Simply place it on the handi body when pressure cooking is not required.

- Apto para lavavajillas: The Prestige Deluxe Alpha Pressure Handi is dishwasher safe. Ensure all components are placed securely in the dishwasher.
- Cuidado de las juntas: Regularly inspect the gasket for cracks, tears, or hardening. Replace the gasket if it shows signs of wear to ensure proper sealing.
