5.2 Closing and opening the lid
The lid of the tilting braising pan is a fast- action lock of a pres-
sure vessel. This lock must be operated with care.
5.2.1 Closing
D The pan must be brought to the horizontal position.
1 :
D The appliance must be heated up and the cooking process
started with the lid open. Before the lid is closed, the food
should be boiled at least once (owing to burning).
D The upper edge of the pan and the seal must be clean and
free from food residues.
D Before closing the lid, it must be ensured that the locking
lever, the lever of the steam release valve, and the lever of
the lid regulation and safety valve are in position A (open).
D The swivel arm of the mixing faucet for the water must
point to the front.
2 :
D Press the lid downwards onto the pan by means of the lid
knob and at the same time move the lock lever from the
open position A backwards to the closed position B.
3 :
D Turn the lever of the steam release valve from the open
position A to the closed position B. The lid is thus closed
and ready for pressure cooking.
4 :
D The lid regulation and safety valve must be closed (lever
position B).
Pressureless cooking
When the appliance is used as a normal pan or open cooking
vessel, the lid is placed loosely (on its own weight) on the pan
without being locked.
5.2.2 Opening
D Before the lid is opened, the operator must ensure that
there is no longer any pressure in the cooking space. This
is done as follows:
1 :
D Turn off energy supply to the appliance by turning the time
setting switch (3) and the temperature setting switch (1) to
zero.
2 :
D Slowly open the steam release valve from position B to
position A.
3 :
D Slowly open the lid regulation and safety valve by bringing
the grip from position B to position A.
Wait until the pressure indicator (pivot P on the top of the lid
regulation and safety valve, Fig. 8) reaches its lowest position,
which corresponds to a pressure of 0.6 psi (0.04 bar).
Again wait until:
D no further liquid
D no further water
D no further steam
escapes through the upward-pointing opening of the lid
regulation and safety valve.
4 :
D Push the lid downwards onto the pan by means of the lid
knob and at the same time move the lock lever from the
closed position B forwards to open position A.
5 :
As there is still a residual pressure again wait until:
D no further liquid
D no further water
D no further steam
comes out.
D Hold the lid by the knob and carefully open.
