each use
DANGER!

heating plate 8 must be clean and move
freely in order to avoid overheating.
Before each use, ensure that the valves
(pressure indicator 19 and pressure
valve 1) are not blocked.
Check the following points:
- The sealing ring 25 must be inserted
correctly. The seal must be in good con-
tact all around.
- The safety filter 26 must be free from dirt.
- The underside of the pressure indica-
tor 27 must be clean and move freely.

Setting up
FIRE HAZARD!
Before turning the device on, place it on
a level, stable, dry, heat-resistant surface.
• Place the base unit 13 on a level, dry
and non-slip work surface, so that the
device can neither fall nor slip off.
Attaching the condensed water
tank
The condensed water tank 12 catches con-
densed water that runs off the lid 5 and into
the upper ring on the base unit 13.
• Figure E: insert the condensed water
tank 12 into the holder 18.
NOTE: empty the condensed water tank 12
at the latest when the water has reached the
marking MAX.
Sealing ring
It is sometimes difficult to remove the lid 5
from the base unit 13 after cooking under
pressure. To make the lid easier to remove,
you can use a cloth with a drop of cooking oil
to rub on the sealing ring 25 before cooking.
10. Cooking with the
Multi-Pot
DANGER!
Please note that the inside of the base
unit 13 must remain clean and dry.
DANGER! Risk of injury from
scalding!
Ensure that no body parts (e.g. hand or
arm) are above the pressure indica-
tor 19 when steam escapes from it.
Do not open the Multi-Pot while it is pressur-
ised. Please take note of the chapter "Open-
ing lid safely (while hot)" on page 57.

tion, only touch the device on the operat-
ing panel 10 and handles 3 + 16.
After operation, only grip the
pot 7 using potholders or oven
gloves.
