Instructions for use

Before first use

• Ensure that you have removed all packaging from the product.
• Remove all accessories.
• Before using the product for the first time, clean the parts that are in contact with food, as described in the Cleaning section.
• To remove any smells left over from the manufacturing process, half-fill the pot with water, close the lid and heat it. Ten minutes after releasing the pressure using the pressure valve, open the lid and pour the water out.

Opening the lid

Hold the lid handle firmly, turn it clockwise until it loosens (Fig. 1), then gently pull upwards (Fig. 2).

OPEN

• Remove the pot (6) and add the ingredients.
  
  Important: The level of water and ingredients must never exceed 4/5 of the capacity of the pot (Fig. 3).
  

• If you are cooking foods that increase in volume when cooked, do not fill the pot more than 3/5 full or less than 1/5 full (Fig. 4-5).
  

Closing the lid

• Before closing the lid, check that the rubber seal (17) is in the correct position.
  Important: If the rubber seal is damaged, do not use the pressure cooker and contact the customer service department.

• Hold the lid by the handle and turn it anticlockwise until it is in the closed position (Fig. 6).
  
  Note: To check that the lid is properly closed (2), ensure that the pressure regulator valve (3) is on your left (when you are facing the control panel, 10).
  Move the pressure regulator valve (3) to the
  Airtight position and ensure that the floating valve has lowered.
  When moving the pressure regulator valve
  (3) to the Airtight position (maintain pressure) or Exhaust position (release pressure), the marks on the pressure regulator valve (3) should be lined up with the arrow on the handle (Fig. 7-8).

• The display will then stop flashing and the machine will beep to indicate that the programme has started.

• You can press Warm/Cancel to interrupt the programme at any time.
  

• While Starlyf® Pressure Cooker heats up and until it reaches the correct pressure, the display will show the cooking time alongside a flashing number on the left-hand side.
