Safety
Your pressure cooker is provided with a number of
safety mechanisms:
• Closing safety:
- The jaws must be in contact with the rim of the lid.
If this is not the case, there is steam leakage from
the pressure indicator and the pressure cooker will
not build up pressure.
• Opening safety:
- If the pressure cooker is under pressure, the
Opening/Closing handle (F) cannot be operated.
- Never try to force the pressure cooker open.
- Above all do not interfere with the pressure indicator
(D).
- Make sure that the internal pressure has fallen.
- If you have put the Opening/Closing handle (F) in
vertical position, while the pressure cooker was still
under pressure, you cannot open it.
- Move the Opening/Closing handle back to the
horizontal position and wait until the pressure
indicator (D) is in low position.

triggered:
