2.3 Function description
In order for the pressure cooker to seal in air and
steam, pressure is created inside the appliance
whilst cooking which is considerably higher than
average air pressure.
The increased pressure inside the pressure cooker
means that the temperature is able to exceed
100 °C. The increased temperature cooks your
food quickly and gently.
Both the base and the lid have been
manufactured from high-quality stainless steel.
The extra strong GSW thermo-base ensures
optimal and even heat distribution and retention.
The pan comes with a pressure control valve in
the lid which keeps the desired pressure setting
constant.
2.4 Safety devices
Several safety systems ensure that your
appliance will function safely, even in the event of
a technical fault.
The pressure control valve 9 ensures the pressure
remains constant within the pressure cooker. It is
possible that some steam may continuously
escape during use.
Located in pressure control valve 9 is an
additional excess pressure valve which relieves
excess pressure.
Lever 4 can only be lifted to open lid 2 once
pressure has equalized, causing red security
valve 5 to drop down.
Should both the pressure control valve 9 and the
pressure security valve malfunction, the excess
pressure can also escape via the safety valve 5.
