6
Components and Features
1.
Pressure Cooker Pot:
Made of
high-quality, heavy-gauge, stainless
steel. All cooking takes place in the
pressure cooker pot.
2.
Lid:
Made of high-quality, heavy-
gauge stainless steel. The lid must be
properly locked in position in order to
build sufficient pressure for cooking.
The raised indentation on top of the
lid, located to the left of the handle,
allows you to easily align the lid to the
cutout on top of the base handle when
closing the pressure cooker (Fig. 6)
WARNING: NEVER FORCE THE
PRESSURE COOKER OPEN
3.
Pot Handle:
Besides being used to
move and carry the pressure cooker,
the pot handle interlocks with the
lid handle when the lid is turned
clockwise. (Fig. 6)
4.
Lid Handle:
Used to remove the lid
from the pressure cooker, the lid handle
contains important components vital
to the use of the pressure cooker.
To reduce the risk of burns or spills, the
lid and pot handle should be positioned
so that it is turned inward towards the
back of the stove, and does not extend
over adjacent surface units or overhang
over the edge of the stove top.
5.
Support Grip Handle:
The support
grip handle provides greater stability
when moving or carrying the pressure
cooker.
6.
Operating Valve:
This operating valve
features a pressure setting (either 1
or 2), a steam release position (with
a picture of steam), and an unlock
position (picture of a circle with a line
through it) (Figures 8-9-10-15). Note
that the operating valve will not simply
turn to the unlock position. See the Care
and Cleaning section of this manual for
instructions on how to turn the valve to
the unlock position to remove it.
