from being opened. This locking system is deactivated
when the pressure indicator drops, i.e. when the pressure
cooker is no longer under pressure.
- Do not touch the pressure indicator (C) while the pressure
cooker is in use.
- Do not open the pressure cooker until the unit has cooled
and all internal pressure has been released. If the handles
are difficult to push apart, this indicates that the cooker is
still pressurized – do not force it open. Any pressure in the
cooker can be hazardous.
• Two overpressure safety features:
- First feature: the safety valve (D) releases pressure and
steam exits horizontally towards the outer lid -
- Second feature: the seal (H) allows steam to escape all
around the pot -
If one of the overpressure safety features is triggered:
• Turn off the heat source;
• Let the pressure cooker cool down;
• Open it;
• Check and clean the operating valve (A), the steam release
outlet (B), the filter (G), the safety valve (D) and the seal (H).
