Safety; Directives And Standards; Prior To Initial Use - Profi Cook PC-SKT 1071 Mode D'emploi

The following mechanisms on the pressure cooker are intended for your safety:
• Lid locking device.
Once the operating pressure has been reached, this locking mechanism prevents the lid from opening.
At the same time, this locking mechanism prevents the pressure from rising inside the cooker if the lid
has not been closed properly.
• Increased pressure can escape through the safety valve.
• If adverse conditions prevent the valves from regulating the pressure, pressure will escape through the
safety opening in the lid.
The PC-SKT 1071 and PC-SKT 1072 pressure cookers have been designed and manufactured accord-
ing to the European Directive 97/23/EG and European Standard EN 12778:2002.
