4. התקנה ושימוש ראשון

- החל חום: Place the pressure cooker on your stovetop over medium-high heat. The Solar Base system ensures efficient heat distribution.
- Reach Pressure: As steam builds, the pressure indicator will rise. Once the desired pressure is reached, steam will begin to escape steadily from the pressure regulator valve. Reduce heat to maintain a steady, gentle release of steam.
- לְבַשֵׁל: Begin timing your recipe once the cooker reaches full pressure.
- שחרור לחץ:
- שחרור טבעי: Remove the cooker from heat and allow pressure to drop naturally. This is suitable for foods that benefit from continued cooking, like stews or roasts. The lid will automatically unlock when pressure is fully released.
- שחרור מהיר: For foods that require precise cooking times, you can carefully move the pressure regulator valve to the steam release position (if available, or follow specific instructions for your model to release steam manually). Exercise extreme caution as hot steam will be released. Do not force the lid open.
- פתח את המכסה: Once the pressure indicator has dropped completely and the lid can be opened easily (the smart lock system will disengage), carefully open the lid away from your face to avoid residual steam.
