Overview of Pressure Control Features

Overview of Pressure Control Features

Float Valve

The float valve provides a visual indication of pressure within the cooker and

appears in 2 positions. 

The float valve and silicone cap work together to seal in pressurised steam. These 

parts must be installed before use and should be cleaned after each use. 

Remove the Float Valve from the Lid 

Place one finger on the flat top of the float valve, then turn the lid over. 
Detach the silicone cap from the bottom side of the float valve.

Remove the float valve from the top of the lid. Do not discard the float valve 

or silicone cap.

Pressurised

The float valve has visibly popped 

up above the surface of the lid.

Depressurised

The float valve has descended 

and the top is flush with the lid.

may result in property damage and/or personal injury.

Install the Float Valve

Drop the narrow end of the float valve into the float valve hole on the top of the 
lid. Place one finger on the flat top of the float valve, then turn the lid over. Firmly 
attach the silicone cap to the bottom of the float valve.

Do not attempt to operate the pressure cooker without the float valve and/or 

silicone cap properly installed in the pressure cooking lid.

Condensation Collector

The condensation collector sits at the back of the cooker base and accumulates 

overflow moisture from the condensation rim. It should be installed before 

cooking, then emptied and rinsed out after each use.

Remove the Condensation Collector

Pull the condensation collector away from the cooker base; do not pull down. 
Note the tabs on the cooker base and the grooves on the condensation collector. 

Install the Condensation Collector

Align the grooves on the condensation collector over the tabs on the back of the 
cooker base and slide the condensation collector into place.
