2. Instrucións de seguridade importantes

Cando se empregan potas a presión, sempre se deben seguir as precaucións básicas de seguridade:

• Le todas as instrucións.
• Non toque superficies quentes. Use asas ou botóns.
• É necesaria unha estreita supervisión cando se usa a ola a presión preto dos nenos.
• Non coloque a ola a presión nun forno quente.
• Débese ter moito coidado ao mover unha ola a presión que conteña líquidos quentes.
• Non use a ola a presión para outros usos que os previstos.
• Este electrodoméstico cociña a presión. O uso inadecuado pode provocar queimaduras. Asegúrese de que a unidade estea correctamente pechada antes de usala. Consulte as "Instrucións de funcionamento".
• Do not fill the unit over 2/3 full. When cooking foods that expand during cooking, such as rice or dehydrated vegetables, do not fill the unit over 1/2 full. Overfilling may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and developing excess pressure. See "Operating Instructions".
• Teña en conta que certos alimentos, como a puré de mazá, os arándanos, a cebada perlada, a avea ou outros cereais, os chícharos partidos, os fideos, os macarróns, o ruibarbo ou os espaguetes poden facer escuma, espuma, chisporrotear e obstruír o dispositivo de liberación de presión (ventilación de vapor). Estes alimentos non se deben cociñar nunha ola a presión.
• Comprobe sempre que os dispositivos de liberación de presión estean obstruídos antes de usalos.
• Do not open the pressure cooker until the unit has cooled and internal pressure has been released. If the handles are difficult to push apart, this indicates that the cooker is still pressurized – do not force it open. Any pressure in the cooker can be dangerous. See "Operating Instructions".
• Non empregue esta olla a presión para fritir con aceite a presión.
• To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or heating base in water or other liquid.
• The WMF Perfect Plus pressure cooker features TÜV tested safety, including automatic steam release and remaining pressure safety mechanisms to prevent accidental opening under pressure.

2. Set the heat to high. Steam will begin to escape from the valve, and the cooking indicator will rise.
3. Once the desired cooking ring is visible (e.g., first ring for 110°C, second ring for 119°C), reduce the heat to maintain the pressure.
4. Begin timing the cooking duration according to your recipe.

5.4 ReleasinPresión g e apertura da tapa

There are three methods for releasinpresión g:

• Liberación rápida (método de auga fría): For faster pressure release, place the cooker under cold running water (avoiding the lid handle and valve) until the pressure indicator drops completely.
• Liberación controlada de vapor: Carefully press the steam release button on the handle to gradually release pressure. Keep hands and face away from the escaping steam.

2. Carefully lift the lid away from you to avoid residual steam.
