CHARACTERISTICS

The BIO EXCLUSIVE+ pressure cooker enables cooking at low or high pressure*, which contributes to

preserving the natural taste and nutritional value of meals. Cooking with the BIO EXCLUSIVE+ pressure

cooker is signicantly faster than standard cooking.

The BIO EXCLUSIVE+ pressure cooker is made of high-grade stainless steel,solid handles of high-

quality resistant plastic that do not burn if used properly.

The solid three-layer sandwich bottom has excellent heat retaining properties that help to economise

on energy. Cooking is faster and at a low heat output; the heat may be switched o in advance before

the end of cooking.

The pressure cooker is provided with 4 safety cut-outs - 3 independent high pressure cut-outs and

a lock against accidental opening; it is therefore entirely safe to use.

The BIO EXCLUSIVE+ pressure cooker is suitable for all types of cooker: gas, electric, vitro-ceramic and

induction cookers.

* OPERATING PRESSURES IN THE BIO EXCLUSIVE+ PRESSURE COOKER

The operating pressure in the vessel is 0.65 bar when cooking at low pressure.

The operating pressure in the vessel is 1.05 bar when cooking at high pressure.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Thoroughly study these instructions for use before the rst use. Wash the pressure cooker and all its parts

with warm water and detergent and wipe dry.

BEFORE EACH USE

Inspecting the valves (Fig. A, B, C, D, E, F, G)

Operating valve

Remove the pressure regulator by pulling it from the lid and make sure that its central part travels

freely up and down (Fig. A). Check visually that the aperture in the piston of the operating valve on

thelidisclean and not clogged (Fig. B). Otherwise ushit under runningwaterorcleanit using asuitable

object such as a thin skewer (Fig. C).

Check if the nut of the operating valve on the bottom of the lid is tight enough. If not, tighten the nut.

Attach the pressure regulator back to the lid handle after inspecting it, push the steam release button

several times and make sure that the pressure regulator freely travels up and down (Fig. D) and can be

easily set to the low and high pressure positions.

Safety valve

Push on the centre of the safety valve using a suitable object such as a thin skewer - it must spring

freely (Fig. E).

Then push the lock against accidental opening on the bottom of the lid grip away from the centre of the

lid and hold it - the safety valve on the bottom of the lid must travel freely up and down (Fig. F).

Check if the nut of the safety valve is tight enough; if not, tighten the nut.

Lock against accidental opening

Push the lock against accidental opening several times away from the centre of the lid -the lock

must spring (Fig. G).

INSPECTTHEVALVES ANDTHE LOCK BEFORE EACH USE OFTHE PRESSURE COOKER, APPLYING DUE CARE.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Opening the pressure cooker (Fig. H)

Push and hold the steam release / lid opening button, turn the lid counterclockwise and lift it o

the vessel.

NEVER APPLY INAPPROPRIATE FORCEWHEN OPENINGTHE PRESSURE COOKER.

Filling the pressure cooker (Fig. J)

FOR SAFETY REASONS,THE PRESSURE COOKER MUST BE FILLEDTO A MAXIMUM OF 2/3VESSEL CAPACITY.

Withfoodsthattendtofrothor swellwhen heated,suchas soups orlentils,rice,etc.,ll thepressurecooker

to a maximum of 1/2 vessel capacity to avoid unwanted clogging of valves and overboiling.

DO NOT COOKWITHOUTWATER INTHE PRESSURE COOKER.THE MINIMUM AMOUNT OFWATER IS 250ML.

Closing the pressure cooker (Fig. K)

Place the lid onto the vessel so that the round marks on the lid and on the handle of the vessel point

towards each other.Turn the lid clockwise so that the grips and the handles are aligned. Make sure

that the pressure regulator is inserted in the lid; if not, push it down lightly.

If the pressure cooker cannot be closed following the above description, check if the pressure indicator is

inserted in the lid grip. If not, push the lock against accidental opening away from the centre of

the lid - the pressure indicator will slip in automatically and the pressure cooker can be closed.

DO NOT APPLY INAPPROPRIATE FORCEWHEN CLOSINGTHE PRESSURE COOKER.

Cooking in the pressure cooker (Fig. L, M, N)

SELECT LOW OR HIGH PRESSURE BY SETTINGTHE REGULATORTOTHE RELEVANT POSITION.

If you wish to cook at1. a low pressure, turn the pressure regulator to the right.Cooking at

a low pressure is ideal for economic cooking of meals, for example for cooking vegetables, fruits,

sh, etc. (Fig. L).

If you wish to cook at2. a high pressure, turn the pressure regulator to the left. Cooking at

a high pressure is quicker and uses a higher temperature. It is suitable in particular for cooking

meat and meals that require longer thermal treatment (Fig. M).

Place the correctly lled and closed pressure cooker with the selected pressure onto a cooker set3. to the highest output.

Theredpressureindicatorplacedinthe lid grip4. willslip upwardsafter a short while.Thismeans that

the minimum pressure has been generated in the vessel and the pressure cooker can no longer be

opened - steam will begin to escape from the aperture in the pressure regulator after a while (Fig. N).

When steam begins to escape from the aperture in the pressure regulator, reduce the heat output5. so that only a small amount of steam escapes from the aperture in the pressure regulator.

6. We do not recommend changing the low / high pressure setting while cooking.

If this is necessary, use a7. kitchen mitten to control pressure during the cooking process!

WARNING! A MINUTE AMOUNT OF STEAM MAY ALSO ESCAPE FROM THE APERTURE BELOW THE LID GRIP

DURINGTHE COOKING PROCESS.

WARNING

Ifalarge amountof steam escapes fromthe pressurecookeratthe beginning ofthecookingprocess,the

pressure cooker has not been correctly closed. Incorrect closing is usually due to the following:

The lid is attached incorrectly - close the pressure cooker again.a)

The pressure regulator of the operating valve has slipped up to the steam release position - pushb) the pressure regulator downwards and set it to the low or high pressure cooking position.

The silicone seal is incorrectly positioned in the lid - check its position.c)

The silicone seal is faulty - replace it with a new originalTescoma seal.d)

Cooking termination, steam releasing and opening of the pressure cooker (Fig. O)

ALWAYS RELEASE STEAM ONLY AFTER REMOVINGTHE PRESSURE COOKER FROM HEAT.

After the time required for cooking your meal elapses, remove the pressure cooker from the heat

source even if the latter has already been switched o.

Set the pressure cooker aside for a while to allow the temperature and pressure in the pressure cooker

to drop suciently.

Then push the steam release button and hold it until all steam has escaped from the pressure

cooker (Fig. O). The pressure indicator will slip down automatically after the steam has been entirely

released and the pressure dropped; the pressure cooker can be opened now.

If the pressure indicator remains in the upper position and the pressure cooker cannot be opened, this

means that there is still pressure in the vessel. Pull the pressure regulator to the upper position

using an oven mitten and wait until all steam escapes from the pressure cooker.

If the pressure indicator does not slip in automatically even after the steam has been released and the

pressure cooker still cannot be opened, insert the pressure cooker into the sink and cool the lid with

a small amount of slowly running cold water until the pressure indicator slips in.

Then open the pressure cooker and thoroughly check and clean the operating valve and the safety

valve before further use.

NEVER COOL THE PRESSURE COOKER ABRUPTLY UNDER RUNNING WATER, DO NOT LET WATER RUN ONTO

PLASTIC PARTS AND DO NOT IMMERSETHE ENTIRE PRESSURE COOKER INWATER.

SAFETY CUT-OUTS

Operating valve

The operating valve controls the high and low pressure, continuously releases excess steam and

releases all steam from the pressure cooker at the end of cooking.

Safety valve

The safety valve operates as a backup activated when the operating valve becomes clogged.

Immediately remove the pressure cooker from the heat source if steam ceases to escape from the

operating valve and starts to escape intensely from the safety valve (the aperture under the lid grip) during

the cooking process. After the pressure cooker cools down, open it and clean the operating valve.

Aperture in the rim of the lid

If the operating valve and the safety valve become clogged simultaneously, the pressure in the pressure

cooker pushes the silicone seal through the aperture in the rim of the lid, which causes an immediate

drop in pressure and steam release.

Warning! When cooking, make sure that the aperture in the rim of the lid is not directed

towards individuals coming near the pressure cooker.

IF THE SILICONE SEAL IS PUSHEDTHROUGH THE APERTURE INTHE RIM OF THE LID, DO NOT REPAIR THE

PRESSURE COOKERYOURSELF; INSTEAD BRING IT IN FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICING.

Lock against accidental opening

Prevents accidental opening of the pressure cooker until all steam has escaped from the vessel and

pressure drops entirely.

PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS

ALWAYS USE AN APPROPRIATE SIZE OF COOKING RANGE OR FLAME FOR COOKING.

The diameter of the cooking range must be identical or smaller than the diameter of the bottom

of the pressure cooker! Flame must never expand beyond the bottom of the pressure cooker.Use

the dispenser net or cooking range when cooking on gas.

Make use of the heat retaining properties of the three-layer sandwich bottom. Switch the heat o in

advance before the end of cooking. Thanks to the three-layer sandwich bottom, the accumulated heat

energy is transferred into the pressure cooker even after the heat has been switched o.

The vessel of the pressure cooker without the lid may also be used as a traditional pot for cooking

meals on the cooking range.

STORAGE, MAINTENANCE and CLEANING
