Pressure cookers are under pressure when in use. Not adhering to the Instructions for Use can lead to burns and
scalding. Make sure that the cooker is properly closed, and never cover the Pressure limited valve before it is heated up.
Keep an eye on the pressure cooker while cooking. If the steam escape through push proof valve, or rubber gasket
escape through safety window, in this case, turn off the heat on your stove immediately and check the reason, solve
the problem, then go on using.
Move the pressure cooker very carefully when it is under pressure. Do not touch the hot outer surfaces of the pressure
cooker, as you could burn yourself by doing so. Only touch the handles when cooking, and use potholder gloves when
necessary.
Pressure cookers must be shaken before opening to avoid pockets of steam, which might be caught within the food
from spattering up and scalding you. Do not cook applesauce or stewed fruits in a pressure cooker
Never try to force the pressure cooker open. Do not open it before you are certain that the steam inside has been
expelled completely.
Do not let the safety window aim at user while cooking. Always keep your hands, head and body out of the danger zone
when releasing steam from the pressure cooker.
Do not alter the safety mechanisms at random. Do not repair or oil the valves. If the pressure cooker-or any of its
parts-is damaged or does not function as described in the Instruction for Use, do not use the pressure cooker. Let a
professional repair it or get in touch with your retailer.
Push proof valve: Only when the cooker is properly close, the pressure inside cooker should start to raise, then the
Push-proof rod will rise to lock the lid.
If the cooker is not closed properly, the pressure inside the cooker can’t rise and the steam will always escapes from the
Push proof valve. In this case, you should turn off the heat, close the cooker properly.
Push proof valve can indicate the pressure state inside the cooker automatically. As long as the pressure inside the
cooker is lower than the pressure that can engages the safety mechanism you can open the cooker safely Push-proof
rod will fall back into its socket completely, then you just can open the cooker.
Safety valve: When the Pressure limited valve doesn’t work or can’t work well and the pressure inside the cooker is
too high, the Safety valve will work automatically, release redundant steam in the cooker, keep the pressure cooker at
a safe level.
Safety window: There is a safety window at the edge of the lid. When both the Pressure limited valve and Safety valve
don’t work and the pressure inside the cooker is too high, the rubber gasket will be extruded from this window, and it
can depressurize the cooker quickly to the safe state.
