SAFETY
Your pressure cooker is fitted with several safety devices:
Closing safety:
- If the lid is positioned incorrectly, or not completely shut, steam will leak around
the pressure indicator (E) and it will not be able to increase pressure.
The pressure indicator (E) prevents pressure from rising in the pressure
cooker if it is not properly closed.
Opening safety:
- If your pressure cooker is under pressure, the pressure indicator (E) is in the high
position and the handles of the lid can't be opened.
- Never try to open the pressure cooker by force.
- Above all, do not interfere with the pressure indicator (E).
- Make sure that the interior pressure has fallen by checking that the pressure
indicator (E) is in the low position.
- Never use any other models of lid handles.
The pressure indicator (E) prevents the pressure cooker from being opened
if it is still under pressure.
Two safety devices against overpressure:
- First device: the safety valve (D) releases the pressure and the steam escapes
vertically from the top of the lid
- Second device: the gasket (H)* allows steam to escape from between the lid and
the pan - Fig. 15
Caution: this may extinguish the flame on a gas hob.
If one of the overpressure safety systems is triggered:
Turn off the heat source.
Allow the pressure cooker to cool completely.
Open the pressure cooker..
Check and clean the operating valve (A), the operating valve pipe (B), the safety
valve (D) and the gasket (H)*.
Recommendations for use
1
- Steam is very hot when it leaves the pressure cooker. Make sure that you
do not burn yourself.
2
- While the pressure indicator is high, you cannot open the pressure cooker.
Never interfere with the pressure indicator.
3
- To move your pressure cooker, use the two pan handles. Use oven mitts if
necessary.
