Иштөө нускамалары

1. Бышыруучуну толтуруу:

• Add food and liquid to the cooker. Ensure the liquid level is sufficient for steam generation.
• Do not exceed the maximum fill lines: two-thirds full for most foods, and half full for foods that expand (e.g., beans, lentils, rice).

2. Капкакты жабуу:

The Futura pressure cooker features an inner lid design for enhanced safety. Follow these steps to securely close the lid:

1. Hold the cooker body handle in your left hand, positioning it at the '6 o'clock' position.
2. Hold the lid handle in your right hand, with the handle pointing towards the '3 o'clock' position.
3. Dip the right side of the lid down into the cooker body.
4. Allow the rest of the lid to drop into the pot.
5. Turn the lid handle back towards the cooker body handle until they meet.
6. Squeeze the handles together firmly to lock the lid in place. The lid is designed to prevent overfilling, as excess liquid would spill during this process.

3. Applying Heat:

• Place the cooker on a gas stovetop. The hard-anodised base ensures even heat distribution and prevents food from sticking.
• Отту жогорку деңгээлге коюңуз.

4. Pressure Regulation:

• Once steam begins to escape steadily from the vent, place the pressure regulator on the vent pipe.
• The regulator will begin to whistle, indicating that full pressure has been reached. Reduce heat to maintain a steady whistle or gentle hiss.

5. Releasinг Басым:

Your Futura pressure cooker features an advanced automatic pressure regulator with a unique fingertip release mechanism.

Сүрөттүн сүрөттөлүшү: This image displays the Hawkins Futura pressure cooker with a hand operating the fingertip pressure release. Steam is visibly escaping from the regulator, demonstrating how pressure can be safely and conveniently released away from the user.

• Табигый релиз: Remove the cooker from heat and allow it to cool down naturally. Pressure will dissipate over time. This method is ideal for foods like stews and meats.
• Quick Release (Fingertip Release): For faster pressure release, gently lift the pressure regulator using the fingertip release mechanism. Ensure steam is directed away from your face and hands. This method is suitable for vegetables and delicate foods to prevent overcooking.
• The lid can only be opened once all internal pressure has been released.
