SAFETY SYSTEM
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
If one of the safety devices is activated
The pressure cooker is equipped with two safety devices for over pressure:
1.
The safety valve releases the pressure and the steam escapes from the safety valve outlet.
2. The steam flows through the safety window.
• turn off the heat source immediately and let the pressure cooker cool down;
• open the pressure cooker;
• check and clean the pressure regulator, steam outlet, safety valve and gasket.
1. As with all cooking appliances, make sure that you properly supervise the cooking area if children or
handicapped people are close-by.
2. Before each use, always check visually in daylight that the steam outlet is not blocked. If it is blocked,
clean it by using a clip to pierce into the hole, and then rinse it under water.
3. Before each use, always check the mobility of the pressure regulator to positions .
4. Never disassemble the lid of the pressure cooker!
5. The minimal quantity of liquid in the pot is 1/3 of the total capacity of the pressure cooker.
The total amount of the food should not exceed 2/3 of its total capacity. For food that expands
considerably during cooking, such as rice, dehydrated vegetables or stewed fruits, do not fill the
pressure cooker with contents more than half of the pot.
6. Don’t forget to turn down the heat once there is continuous release of steam from the steam outlet.
7. Be careful as the steam, which is released, is very hot.
8. To move or lift the pressure cooker, use the side handles on the pot. Never use the revolving knob to
move or lift it.
9. Never use the bleach or chlorine based products to clean your pressure cooker as these damage
the quality of stainless steel.
10. Do not use any sharp or pointed object to carry out operating and safety checks.
11. When re-fitting the gasket, to ensure a perfect seal, make sure the gasket slips fully under each tab
by pressing and pushing it with your finger towards the edge of the lid.
