PARTS/FUNCTIONS
The pressure control valve is used to adjust the pressure
level. The valve automatically maintains the pressure and
temperature at the required setting:
• Position 2 - For quick cooking (90 kPa) approx. 120˚C.
• Position 1 - For gradual cooking (60 kPa) approx. 113˚C.
• Position - For slow pressure release.
• Position - For removing and cleaning the valve.
Maximum permitted pressure for these Pressure Cookers:
2.7bar / 270 kPa.
PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE
1. The safety valve:
While the pressure builds up in the cooking pot, the
red safety valve becomes visible and the cooking pot is
closed (never force the cooking pot open).
2. If the safety valve is no longer visible, the cooking pot is
no longer under pressure and can be opened.
If, for some unforeseeable reason, the pressure control
valve does not release steam correctly and excess
pressure is generated inside the cooking pot, the safety
valve opens automatically in accordance with the
prescribed values in order to release the excess pressure.
3. The one-hand opening and closing system:
The Pressure Cooker is opened and closed simply by
pressing the appropriate open button or close
button
Remove the lid from the cooking pot with one hand and
place it back on the cooking pot in any position.
WARNING: Always allow the steam to be
completely released before opening the cooking
pot – never force the cooking pot open!
