3. Technical information
Working pressure: 0,6 bar (setting 1) and 1,0 bar
(setting 2).
Usable capacity: 6 litres.
Licence holder: IKEA of Sweden, Tulpanvägen 8, SE-343
81 ÄLMHULT, Sweden.
Model: 90483150
The pressure cooker is UL certified.
4. Safety information
•
The pressure cooker comes with a pressure
regulator in the lid which keeps the desired
pressure setting constant.
•
The pressure cooker has several safety systems
to ensure that your pressure cooker will function
safely, even in the event of a technical fault.
The pressure regulator 8 ensures the pressure
remains constant within the pressure cooker. It
is possible that some steam may continuously
escape during use. The safety valve 4 releases
any excess pressure if the pressure regulator
malfunctions. If the pressure regulator 8 and the
safety valve 4 both malfunction, excess pressure
will escape through the safety pressure window 7.
The release button for the lid 3 can only be pressed
down to open the pot when the pressure has been
equalised and the red safety valve 4 drops down.
General safety advice
Be sure to check before every use that the pressure
regulator 8 and the safety valve 4 are manoeuvrable
and not blocked up (see section "Instructions for use").
Always ensure that the pressure cooker is closed
correctly before putting it on the hob (see section
"Instructions for use").
The pressure regulator 8 should never be covered by
any objects.
Always ensure the pressure regulator 8 is facing away
from you during use and that it is not facing where
others may pass by. In the event of a fault, a lot of
steam will escape.
Should steam escape from the safety valve 4 or the
safety pressure window 7, immediately turn off the
heat supply since the pressure inside the pressure
cooker is too high. Do not continue to use the
pressure cooker until the problem has been corrected
(see section "Troubleshooting").
To avoid damaging the pressure cooker, you should
ensure that the pot always contains at least 0.25 litres
of liquid, so that sufficient steam can be produced and
the pressure cooker doesn't overheat and boil dry.
WARNING: Repairs to the pressure cooker may only be
made by an authorised professional.
Good to know
The pressure cooker is suitable for use on all types of
hobs, including induction hobs.
The pressure cooker can be used as a traditional
pot (without the lid) to brown food before pressure
cooking.
By placing the pressure cooker on a hob with the same
or a smaller diameter you can save energy.
Always lift the pressure cooker when moving it on a
glass ceramic hob to avoid the risk of scratching the
hob.
Bear in mind that the pressure cooker gets hot during
use. Always handle with pot holders.
Never let the pressure cooker boil dry, this would
seriously damage it.
The pressure cooker is designed exclusively for
cooking, not for storing food. Food that is stored in
the pressure cooker for a longer period may affect the
surface and take on the taste of metal.
When the pressure cooker is used on a gas hob make
certain the flames do not touch the handles.
5. Instructions for use
Before each use
Before cooking with the pressure cooker, you should
check all the safety functions to avoid causing any
damage to the pressure cooker.
1. Check that the openings for the pressure regulator
8 on the inside of the lid are clean.
2. Should this not be the case, clean the pressure
regulator 8 (see section "Cleaning and storing").
3. Check that the safety valve 4 is movable and not
stuck.
4. Check that the gasket 6 is not damaged in any way,
i.e. that it is not split. Note! Over time the gasket
can become hard and will therefore no longer
provide an air-tight seal. This will lead to steam
escaping from the rim of the lid and the gasket
will therefore require replacing. For replacement
gaskets, please contact your nearest IKEA Store/
Customer service or visit www.ikea.com.
How to use the pressure cooker
1. Fill the pot with food and/or liquid. Caution! Never
fill the pressure cooker with food and liquid above
the "MAX" mark on the inside of the pot. This
corresponds to a maximum of 4 litres (for pressure
cooker with usable capacity of 6 litres). When
cooking food that swells, such as rice or pulses,
you should never fill the pot above the "½" mark
on the inside of the pot. This will prevent the food
from reaching the lid and potentially blocking the
pressure regulator and the safety valve.
2. Place the lid 5 on the pot 10 in such a way that the
circular mark on the lid is pointing to the circular
mark on the pot handle's lower part 1.
