INTRODUCTION

Dear Customer,

• Congratulations on buying into the brand-new concept of Pressure Cooking! The IKEA Pressure Handi is probably the most useful and versatile product in the Indian Kitchen and has been carefully designed with a discerning customer like you in mind.
• IKEA keeping in mind the ever-growing requirements of the Customer, has come out with a Handi which now can be used on Induction tops.
• Spices are an integral part of Indian cooking. They impart the rich aroma and flavour that is so unique to our cuisine. Yet, it’s not just the spices that make Indian food delicious.
• For centuries, the handi has been synonymous with the Indian kitchen. Royal cooks swore that this distinctively shaped vessel with its curved bottom, wide middle, and narrow mouth greatly enhanced the taste of their preparations.
• Mainly used for food that was cooked on a slow fire, the shape of the handi helped trap the vapors rising from the food. This resulted in the food being cooked in its juices, bringing out the richness of the spices and other ingredients.
• The new IKEA Handi combines centuries-old tradition with modern-day dayconvenience. It can be used to cook food in the traditional Indian way of the handi. It also works as a pressure handi to help you cook food in minutes.
• The Induction cooktop-friendly IKEA Pressure Handi is yet another innovation from IKEA dedicated to you.
• We wish you very happy times in cooking and serving delicious and authentic cuisine that you so lovingly serve to your family.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF IKEA PRESSURE HANDI:

1. All new Whistling Weight Valve with long-lasting stainless steel weight valve for pressure regulation to accurately time your pressure cooking.
2. Sleek, new look reinforced lid.
3. A unique safety mechanism called Pressure Indicator (PI) rises when there is pressure inside the vessel and drops when the pressure drops to zero indicating that the Pressure Handi is ready to open.
4. The new unique controlled GRS (Gasket Release System) releases the pressure safely in case there is any abnormal build up of pressure.
5. Rugged handles with a matt finish, aerodynamic curves for better grip, easy handling, and cleaning.
6. Metallic Safety Plug – An additional safety device provided that will fuse when the Pressure / Temperature inside the handi exceeds a safe level.
7. The Pressure Handi now can be used for cooking on any Induction cooktop, Electric hot plates, Halogen, or ceramic hot plates.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PARTS

A) Weight Valve Assembly – More Precision

1. The weight valve (PRD): It is made to perfect precision. It operates when the pressure reaches around 1kgf/cm’. and whistles, which are loud and clear.
   • It now has a silicone rubber o” ring which facilitates easy fitment onto the vent tube and also enhances the life of the weight valve assembly.
2. The vent tube: This is made of stainless steel and it is long-lasting and durable.
3. The Dome nut: This keeps the vent tube tightened in its place in the lid.

B) Pressure Indicator – More Safety, More Convenience

• A Pressure Indicator (PI) rises when there is pressure inside the vessel and drops when the pressure drops to zero indicating that the pressure handi is ready to open.

C) Handles – More Durable, More Convenient

• For convenient handling, IKEA Pressure Handi has strong, heatproof, matt finish PF handles.

The Pressure Handi comes with 3 handles:

• a ) Lid Handle
• b ) Body Handle
• c) Auxiliary Handle
• All these are replaceable and available with screws/ washers as spares. Please keep all handles fully tightened when in use.

D) Flame Guard – More Safety, More Durable

• The flame guard is specially designed to protect the body handle from heat when placed on the stove.

E) Gasket – More Durable

• IKEA Pressure Handi comes with food food-grade nitrile rubber gasket which is self-compensating.
• This revolutionary design will enhance the life of the gasket. This gasket does not impart any color, taste, or odor to the food cooked in this handi.

F) Mini Metallic Safety Plug

• This safety Plug melts to let out steam. This happens when the temperature/ Pressure rises beyond the safe level.
• This is due to the Handi having insufficient water or food particles blocking/clogging the vent tube.

G) Induction Base

• The IKEA Pressure Handi comes with a heavy-duty Alpha induction base which enables the handi to be used on all Induction Cooktops. This handi comes with an induction-friendly cladded base.

USE ON DIFFERENT HEAT SOURCES

• The IKEA Pressure Handi can be used on many different heat sources namely: Gas Stoves, Kerosene Stoves, Electric Hot Plates, Induction cooktops, Ceramic Cooktops, and Halogen Cooktops.
• Never use industrial gas burners.
• Gas Stove: Ensure maximum heat/flame before placing Deluxe Alpha Pressure Handi on the stove. However, ensure that the flame is always within the base of the Handi.
• Reduce the heat/flame as soon as pressure builds up and whistles the first time.
• Hot Plate: Place the handi on the hot plate and turn on maximum power.
• Reduce the heat/flame as soon as pressure builds up and whistles the first time.
• Halogen: Place the handi on the halogen cooktop and turn on maximum power. Reduce the heat/flame as soon as pressure builds up and whistles the first time.
• Induction: When using the Pressure Handi on the Induction Cook-top, place the handi on the Induction Cook-top and press the appropriate function to start cooking.
• Please note the rate of heat absorbed by the handi may vary between different models of Induction Cooktops. Reduce the power as soon as pressure builds up and whistles the first time.

SAFETY FEATURES

• IKEA Pressure Handi comes with 4 safety features.
• a ) The Weight Valve (PRD)
• b ) The Pressure Indicator,
• c ) Controlled GRS
• d ) Safety Plug
• a) The Weight Valve: As soon as the pressure inside the handi reaches the normal cooking pressure, the weight valve releases steam with a loud and clear whistle.
• For the normal cooking of food, three or four whistles are adequate to complete the cooking. The weight valve works as both the control and pressure regulating device maintaining correct pressure at all times.
• b) The Pressure Indicator: The indicator gets pushed above the level of the lid. This indicates that your Pressure Handi is under pressure.
• Similarly, after cooking is over and the issue of steam stops completely, the pressure indicator will drop to the level of the lid, giving you a visible indication that you can safely open the Pressure Handi.
• if the pressure indicator does not drop for a longer duration, push it down with a metal spoon as the food particles may prevent it from falling, and then open the lid.
• c) Controlled GRS (Gasket Release System): The IKEA Pressure Handi now comes with an improved version of the GRS namely the Controlled GRS.
• This unique safety device makes your handi completely safe even if the weight valve fails to function due to overload or blockage of the vent tube.
• As the pressure inside the handi goes above the normal level, the portion of the IKEA Gasket is pushed out by the excess pressure inside the handi.
• Then the hole on the lid gets exposed gently releasing the steam in a controlled manner. The steam is released in a vertically up direction with a steam jet sound, making it safe.
• Once the GRS operates, the stove should be immediately switched off. Allow the handi to cool down. Now open the lid and the IKEA Gasket should be removed, washed with water, and placed back in position.
• However, we recommend the user to examine the reason for the weight valve not functioning. The user should check and ensure that the vent tube hole is clean and clear.
• d) Metallic Safety Plug: If for any reason the safety features like a weight valve or a controlled GRS fail to function, the fusible metallic safety plug melts to let out steam.
• This could only happen when the temperature/pressure rises beyond the safe level. This is due to the handi having insufficient water or food particles blocking/clogging the vent tube.

HOW TO USE / FOOD PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Water to be used:
   • Before you start cooking in the Pressure Handi, make sure that there is enough water in the Pressure Handi. The quantity of water varies with the model of the handi.
   • For the first 15 minutes of cooking, pour 300ml or 1½ cups of water. For every additional 15 minutes of cooking add 100ml (½ cup) of extra water.
   • Your Pressure Handi should not be filled more than ⅔rd of its body capacity. When cooking liquid foods, please use the quantity of water as specified in the recipe. For cooking milk dishes, start with a low heat to bring the milk to a boil and then turn it up to pressure.
   • When cooking cereals like Toordal allow a few minutes before closing the lid to avoid excess froth. Add one spoonful of oil or any cooking medium while cooking dal. When you cook dal, particularly in a small capacity handi, the dal frothing is unavoidable with the whistling weight valve. To reduce the frothing it is advisable to soak the dal in water for 20 to 30 minutes before cooking.
2. Procedure:
   • IKEA Pressure Handi comes without separators and is ideal for direct cooking. To do direct cooking, always take the correct quantity of water as mentioned above which is required for steam generation, in addition to the water required for cooking the
   • foodstuff. This comes by practice as it is dependent on the quality of rice, dal, etc, and also the individual taste and preferences. Normally, the recommended quantity of water for rice is 1:2 ½ (Rice: Water) and for dal is 1:1 ½ (Dal: Water).
   • Note: IKEA pressure handi comes without separators. When you use your separators/vessels inside the pressure handi for cooking, always place the trivet with sufficient water below the Separators / Vessel to avoid dry heat and decladding.
   • Please ensure that the height of the Separators / Vessel is not more than ⅔rd the height of the handi body. Also, do not cover the top vessel with the plate which might block the safety devices. Always use a trivet with sufficient water when you use your Separators / Vessels.

• Ensure that the vent tube is completely free of any blockage before closing the lid.
• This can be done by looking through the vent tube hole and ensuring that the light is visible.
• Ensure that the IKEA Gasket is properly placed in its place in the lid.
• Place the lid on the body of the handi with the arrow mark of the lid in line with the arrow mark on the body handle, press down the lid gently, and turn the lid handle clockwise to bring it exactly above the body handle.
• Place the weight on the vent tube and press it down. It will get engaged with the vent tube with a ‘CLICK. Now place the handi on high heat. However, ensure that the flame is always within the base of the Handi.
• As the pressure builds up you will notice the emission of steam through the Pressure Indicator for a while and after a few seconds, the Pressure Indicator will rise above the lid surface indicating the pressure build-up.
• When the Pressure Handi reaches full pressure, the weight valve will whistle.
• Now reduce the heat till the required cooking time. Normally, you can shut off the flame after 3 or 4 whistles depending on the flame and the foodstuff to be pressure cooked.
• By experience, you will be able to determine the exact number of whistles required.
• After cooking, put off the heat source, take the appliance off the stove, and allow it to cool.
• Do not attempt to open the lid if the Pressure.
• The indicator is in the risen position. Always, after the Pressure Indicator drops remove the weight first and then open the lid anti-clockwise till the arrow mark of the lid is aligned in line with the arrow mark on the body handle Wash the hands after use. Remove the IKEA Gasket. Wash it and hang it on a peg till the next use.

DO’S AND DONT’S

• Please read the following instructions very carefully to ensure that your IKEA Pressure Handi is always kept in good working condition.

DO’s Read all the instructions

1. Always use the IKEA pressure handi with a sufficient quantity of water. Pressure cooking is cooking with water, in the handi to produce steam. Remember that less than minimum water can result in ‘boil dry. The recipe will be ruined, the safety plug may get fused and food may be baked to such an extent that resultant stains will be hard to remove. This can also lead to a base bulge in the body, Sandwich cladded base may peel off & handi may also get damaged.

2. Always ensure that the vent tube is completely free of any blockage before closing the lid. This can be easily done by looking through the vent tube and ensuring that the light is visible. Always keep the vent tube clean and fastened tight to the lid. A clogged vent tube can be cleaned by forcing a jet of water through the vent tube hole or by cleaning the vent tube with a pin through it.

3. When cooking dal in a Pressure Handi, always add a spoonful of any cooking oil to the contents of the Pressure Handi before the commencement of cooking, to suppress the froth.

   • Allow a few minutes before closing the lid to avoid excess froth. Soaking the dal for 30 Min before cooking reduces frothing.

4. Ensure that the IKEA Gasket is properly placed in its place in the lid. After cooking wash the IKEA Gasket and hang it on a peg. This will improve the life of the IKEA Gasket.

5. If the steam escapes around the lid, It could be that a new Gasket should be fitted. Before doing so, please have the Pressure Handi checked for any nicks on the rim of the body.

6. Avoid damage to the sealing rim of the lid and the body while serving or cleaning the handi. This may cause leakage of steam.

7. Always store the handi with its lid open to prevent mustiness.

8. Handle the weight carefully. Keep it clean. Once in a year please change the silicon ‘O’ ring, as the wear and tear of this ring may cause the weight to jump off.

9. Always keep the handles fully tightened.

10. Always buy genuine Spare Parts from the authorized service center nearest to you. Insist on a cash memo when buying genuine spare parts. Replace your pressure indicator every year for safe functioning.

11. In case your Pressure Handi requires any servicing or reconditioning, do not try to repair it yourself. Please take it to the nearest Authorized Service Centre or write to the company for advice/directions.

12. We recommend that you take your handi for checking to an authorized service center once a year, to ensure that the Pressure Handi is always in good working condition.

13. Always keep the Pressure Handi on the stove in such a way that the handles are facing you and the GRS slot is away from you (refer to illustration) to prevent accidental scalding, if and when the GRS operates.

14. Whenever you want to open the handi lid, wait for the Pressure Indicator to drop then gently tilt the weight and remove carefully. Then open the lid

DON’Ts

1. Never place a dry/empty Pressure Handi on a heat source. If you use the Pressure Handi without any water, the gasket may get burnt or the safety plug may melt. The handi may also get damaged.

2. Dry heating the handi or using excessive heat may lead to the separation of the induction plate base / Sandwich cladded base from the body. The warranty will not cover this type of misuse. Dry heating the handi could lead to discoloration of the induction base / Sandwich cladded base,

3. Your Pressure Handi should not be filled more than two-thirds of its body capacity. When cooking foods that expand during cooking such as rice, dal, or dried vegetables, do not fill the body over half full. When you use your separators/vessels inside the pressure handi for cooking, Please ensure that the height of the Separators / Vessel is not more than 2/3 rd the height of the handi body. Also, do not cover the top vessel with a plate which might block the safety devices.

4. Never attempt to force open the lid of the handi. The Pressure Indicator will drop down once the pressure inside the handi is reduced to zero, indicating the safe opening of the lid.

5. Never tap the rim of the handi body with serving spoons, forks, labels, etc. as these may nick the sealing surface and allow steam to escape and the handi may leak.

6. Always thoroughly wash every surface of the handi soon after each use with hot water and soap or cleaning powder. Any oil/fat left on the surface may carbonize when the handi is again placed on heat. Do not leave food/water in your handi overnight or for a long duration. Chemicals in the decomposing food / Natural salts in the water will attack the metal and can develop pits/scaling / Discolouration. Use a plastic or nylon scrubber or brush. After cleaning, wipe dry, as the metal can get pitted if left wet.

7. Preferably use soft water for cooking and washing as the salts in the hard water may lead to pitting and discoloration over some time.

8. Never use hard abrasives to wash your hands Never try to repair the Pressure Indicator and do not substitute it with spurious plugs, screws, or washers Always buy a genuine Pressure Indicator/ Safety Plug.

9. Pressure Handi should not be used for deep frying or as a tandoori pot.

10. Do not interchange the lids of your Pressure Handi when you have two or more hands of different ranges.

11. Do not use hard abrasives such as steel wool, steel brushes, ash, or mud to clean the pressure handi. This can cause microscopic scratches which may cause water to lodge which eventually could lead to the development of black pit marks.

12. Handles are liable to break under a sharp blow.

13. Do not attempt to stretch the rubber gasket, particularly when it is hot, as it will distort. There should be no extra length of rubber gasket left unaccommodated in the lid.

14. Do not try to move the pressure handi when pressure is built inside during cooking or after cooking.

15. This cooker is not suitable for use in Oven.

CAUTION:

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs for handling the Handi.
• Use gloves, if required. Replace the handle if it is cracked, broken, or charred. Do not use the handi without handles / broken handles.
• Never subject the Pressure Handi to dry heat.
• Always buy genuine spare parts. The Seller or the Manufacturer is in no way responsible for any damage or injury caused by the use of duplicate/spurious spare parts.
• When you use your own vessel inside the pressure handi for cooking, please ensure that the height of the vessel is not larger than the height of the handi body. Also, do not cover the top vessel with a plate which might block the safety devices.
• Never allow cooked food or water to stay in the handi body for a long time to avoid pits and discoloration.
• Never subject the pressure handi to dry heat.
• Do not force open the pressure handi until internal pressure has dropped to Zero. If the handles of the body and lid are difficult to push apart, this indicates that the handi is still pressurized.

HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR IKEA PRESSURE HANDI

The Body and the Lid:

• IKEA Pressure Handi is made of Stainless Steel. Wash the body and the lid in hot soap water and dry immediately.
• DO NOT wash pressure hands in a dishwasher. Harsh chemicals like dishwasher detergent will damage the surface. Do not use steel wool and harsh detergents etc., to wash the pressure hand.
• To keep your IKEA Pressure Handi looking always new, please do NOT DISHWASHER SAFE follow the instructions given below.
• a) Avoid leaving foodstuff especially those containing salt in the handi overnight.
• As it may cause pittings inside the handi.
• b) Before the first time & after each use wash it with hot soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
• For stubborn stains, it is recommended that you use a nylon scrubber.

A stainless steel cleaner may be used for:

1. Blueing or rainbow coloring is caused by the presence of salt/minerals in the water.
2. White spots are caused by hard water deposits.
3. Yellow, brown, or with blue tingeing on the inner surface.

• e) Avoid the use of metal scouring pads or hard abrasives for cleaning the handi as they may cause scratches.

Discolouration:

• Certain properties of water and certain minerals of food can cause darkening of the inside of the handi up to the water level. This is quite harmless. This discoloration does not affect the handi or the food cooked in it in any way.
• When this discoloration occurs, it can be prevented by first boiling water with a small ball of tamarind or a piece of lime or tartaric acid/citric acid for about 20 minutes. This will remove the darkening.

Weight Valve:

• To clean the weight valve occasionally, soak it in soap water. However, clear out all the traces of soap before reuse.

Gasket:

• After cooking, remove the IKEA Gasket from the lid. Wash and hang it on a peg till the next use.

Storing:

• Do not store the Pressure Handi in a sealed or closed condition. This will prevent mustiness as there will be circulation of air. Always store the weight on a shelf.

Serving:

• While using Pressure Handi for direct cooking or serving, care should be taken to see that the spoons, ladles, forks, and other utensils are not tapped against the rim of the body as this may nick its sealing surface and allow the steam to escape.

Fixing of Spare Parts:
