The problem is that no one brand is the same as another. My most recent pressure cooker is quite different from my previous ones. If it's like mine, the red dot should be up once the cooker is up to pressure.

You tube could perhaps be a help too?

Could you get the operating instructions online, gracesmum?

At least then you'd be able to increase the font if necessary, and sometimes the online instructions give you more information/detail than the booklet that comes with the appliance.

I am making chicken soup (Jewish penicillin) for poorly DH and am using my pressure cooker - for the third time in its life. I am terrified of it!! The instruction booklet is USELESS plus it is printed in the tiniest font you could imagine and has words like Operating Valve when what I want to know is: why is steam coming out of the bit near the handle, should the red dot be up or down, is that the "right" steam and hissing coming out of the other bit now, so do I set the timer. I am circling it from a bit of a distance in case it explodes and the bomb squad come out . I think I need to use it at least once a month to conquer my fear. Can anybody recommend a really good pressure cooker cookery book as it is, at present, an expensive way to make chicken soup!!
