Arahan Keselamatan Penting

Semasa menggunakan periuk tekanan, langkah keselamatan asas harus selalu diikuti:

• Baca semua arahan dengan teliti sebelum mengendalikan perkakas ini.
• Jangan sentuh permukaan panas. Gunakan pemegang atau tombol.
• Pengawasan yang rapi diperlukan apabila periuk tekanan digunakan di dekat kanak-kanak.
• Jangan letakkan periuk tekanan di dalam ketuhar yang dipanaskan.
• Berhati-hati yang melampau mesti digunakan apabila menggerakkan periuk tekanan yang mengandungi cecair panas.
• Do not use the pressure cooker for purposes other than intended.
• Perkakas ini memasak di bawah tekanan. Penggunaan yang tidak betul boleh mengakibatkan kecederaan melecur. Pastikan unit ditutup dengan betul sebelum mengendalikannya. Lihat bahagian "Menutup Penutup".
• Never force open a pressure cooker. Make certain the internal pressure has completely dropped before opening. See "Opening the Lid" section.
• Do not fill the unit over 2/3 full. When cooking foods that expand during cooking, such as rice or dehydrated vegetables, do not fill the unit over 1/2 full. Overfilling may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and developing excess pressure.
• Perlu diketahui bahawa makanan tertentu, seperti sos epal, kranberi, barli mutiara, oat atau bijirin lain, kacang pis yang dibelah, mi, makaroni, rhubarb atau spageti boleh berbuih, berbuih, dan terpercik, serta menyumbat peranti pelepas tekanan. Makanan ini tidak boleh dimasak dalam periuk tekanan.
• Sentiasa periksa alat pelepas tekanan untuk tersumbat sebelum digunakan.
• Use only Tescoma replacement parts for gaskets, valves, and other components.

Persediaan

Before using your pressure cooker for the first time:

1. Bongkar: Keluarkan semua komponen dari pembungkusan dengan berhati-hati.
2. Pembersihan Awal: Wash all parts (pots, lids, gasket, valves, steamer basket) with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Ensure no packaging materials remain.
3. Pemasangan gasket: Ensure the silicone gasket is correctly seated inside the rim of the pressure lid. It should fit snugly and evenly.
4. Pemeriksaan injap: Verify that the pressure regulating valve and safety valve are clear of any obstructions and move freely.

Arahan Operasi

Follow these steps for safe and effective pressure cooking:

1. Filling the Pot

• Add food and liquid to the pressure pot. Always add at least 250ml (1 cup) of liquid to generate steam.
• Maximum Fill Line: Never fill the pot more than 2/3 full. For foods that expand (e.g., rice, beans, grains), do not fill more than 1/2 full.

2. Menutup Tudung

• Place the pressure lid onto the pot, aligning the lid with the pot handles.
• Rotate the central knob on the lid to engage the locking mechanism. Ensure the lid is securely closed and the handles are aligned. The safety pin should be in the down position.

3. Pressure Regulation

• The Ultima Duo features a pressure regulating valve with multiple settings. Rotate the orange-ringed knob to select the desired pressure level based on your recipe.
• Tetapan biasa termasuk:
          Tekanan rendah: For delicate foods like fish, vegetables.
          Tekanan Tinggi: For meats, stews, and foods requiring longer cooking times.

4. Memasak Di Bawah Tekanan

• Place the pressure cooker on a suitable heat source (gas, electric, ceramic, induction). Use a burner size appropriate for the pot's base.
• Heat on high until the pressure indicator rises and steam begins to escape steadily from the valve.
• Once full pressure is reached (indicated by the pressure indicator and steady steam release), reduce the heat to maintain a gentle, steady steam flow. Start timing your recipe.

5. ReleasinTekanan

There are generally two methods for releasing tekanan:

• Pelepasan Semulajadi: Remove the cooker from the heat source and allow it to cool down naturally. The pressure will gradually decrease, and the safety pin will drop. This method is ideal for foods that benefit from continued cooking, such as stews and roasts.
• Siaran Pantas: For foods that require precise cooking times (e.g., vegetables), you can carefully turn the pressure regulating valve to the steam release position. Be cautious of the hot steam escaping. Once the safety pin drops, all pressure has been released.

6. Membuka Tudung

• Only open the lid when the safety pin has fully dropped, indicating no internal pressure.
• Rotate the central knob on the lid to unlock the mechanism, then lift the lid away from you to avoid steam burns.

Penyelenggaraan dan Pembersihan

Penyelenggaraan yang betul memastikan jangka hayat dan operasi periuk tekanan anda yang selamat.

• Selepas Setiap Penggunaan: Disassemble the pressure lid components (gasket, valves) and wash all parts with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly.
• Penutup Tekanan: The pressure lid, including its mechanical parts, is tidak selamat untuk mesin basuh pinggan mangkuk. Hand wash only to prevent damage to the intricate mechanisms.
• Pots and Glass Lid: The stainless steel pots and the glass lid are generally dishwasher safe. Refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's website for specific dishwasher compatibility.
• Penjagaan Gasket: Regularly inspect the silicone gasket for cracks, tears, or hardening. Replace if any damage is observed, as a faulty gasket can prevent pressure from building or cause steam leaks.
• Pembersihan injap: Ensure the pressure regulating valve and safety valve are free from food particles or blockages. Use a small brush if necessary to clear any residue.
• Storan: Simpan periuk tekanan dengan penutup terbalik atau sedikit terbuka untuk membolehkan peredaran udara dan mengelakkan bau.
