4. Test Run (Water Only): For your first use, perform a test run with water. Fill the cooker with approximately 2 cups of water. Close the lid securely. Place the pressure regulator on the vent tube. Heat on medium-high until steam escapes from the pressure regulator. Reduce heat and allow to cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow pressure to release naturally, or use the fingertip steam release mechanism (refer to Operating Instructions). Once pressure is fully released, open the lid. This helps you understand the cooker's operation and ensures all parts are functioning correctly.

1. Filling the Cooker

Always ensure there is sufficient liquid in the cooker for pressure generation. Do not fill the cooker more than two-thirds full. For foods that expand, such as rice or lentils, do not fill more than half full.

చిత్రం: Capacity guidelines for pressure cookers. This image illustrates that a 1.5 Litre cooker is ideal for 1-2 members, 3 Litres for 3-4 members, 5 Litres for 5-7 members, and 7 Litres for 7-10 members.

చిత్రం: Available Futura Pressure Cooker sizes and models. This chart provides details on various capacities (2 Litre, 3 Litre, 4 Litre, 5 Litre, 6 Litre, 7 Litre, 9 Litre) including dimensions, ideal serving sizes, product weight, and packed weight.

2. మూత మూసివేయడం

Place the lid inside the cooker body. Align the lid handle with the body handle. Rotate the lid clockwise until the handles are perfectly aligned and the lid is securely locked. The unique inner lid design ensures safety by preventing opening under pressure.

3. Applying Heat

Place the pressure cooker on a suitable heat source. The Futura Hard Anodised Pressure Cooker is compatible with gas, electric, ceramic, and halogen cooktops. Use a burner size appropriate for the cooker's base. Heat on medium-high until steam begins to escape steadily from the vent tube, then place the pressure regulator on the vent tube. The pressure regulator will begin to whistle, indicating that full pressure has been reached.

4. Cooking Time

Once the pressure regulator begins to whistle, reduce the heat to maintain a steady pressure. Refer to your recipe or the included cookbook for specific cooking times. The hard anodised body ensures quick and even heating, making cooking up to 46% faster than a microwave oven.

5. రిలేasinగ్రా పీడనం

రిలే కోసం రెండు పద్ధతులు ఉన్నాయిasinగ్రా పీడనం:

• సహజ విడుదల: Remove the cooker from heat and allow it to cool down naturally. The pressure indicator will drop, and the lid will unlock automatically when all pressure is released. This method is ideal for foods that benefit from continued cooking, such as stews and grains.
• Quick Release (Fingertip Steam Release): For faster pressure release, gently lift the pressure regulator using the fingertip steam release mechanism. Direct the steam away from your face and body. Once all steam has escaped and the pressure indicator has dropped, the lid can be opened. This method is suitable for delicate foods or when you need to add ingredients during cooking.

Never attempt to open the lid until all internal pressure has been released.

నిర్వహణ మరియు శుభ్రపరచడం

సరైన నిర్వహణ మీ ప్రెజర్ కుక్కర్ యొక్క దీర్ఘాయువు మరియు సురక్షితమైన ఆపరేషన్‌ను నిర్ధారిస్తుంది.

• శుభ్రపరచడం: Wash the cooker body and lid with warm soapy water after each use. The hard anodised surface is non-corroding and easy to clean. Rinse thoroughly and dry. The product is not dishwasher safe.
• సీలింగ్ రింగ్: Remove the sealing ring from the lid after each use and wash it separately. Inspect for cracks or damage. Replace if necessary (recommended replacement every 12-18 months with regular use).
• Pressure Regulator & Vent Tube: Clean the pressure regulator and ensure the vent tube on the lid is clear of any food particles. Use the provided cleaning brush if needed.
• నిల్వ: Store the pressure cooker with the lid inverted on the body to allow air circulation and prevent odors.
