SAFETY FEATURES
1. All components of your Microwave Pressure Cooker have been manufactured with
microwave permeable materials which are food compatible. No metal parts are used in
the assembly. All components pass all the necessary global standards.
2. Your Microwave Pressure Cooker is perfectly safe to use.
3. Your cooker comes with four safety devices which combine to offer seven
safety features.
a. Primary safety device.
b. Secondary safety device.
c. Multifunctional Safety Lock (MFSL).
d. Mesh.
a. Primary Safety Device (Feature 1)
Your cooker is equipped with a primary safety device. This operates at about 4 Pounds/sq inch.
This may vary slightly depending on power of the microwave oven. As the pressure builds up inside
the cooker, after an initial emission of steam for a while, the Visual Pressure Indicator (VPI) will lift
up indicating the pressure build up. When the cooker reaches the designated pressure, the primary
safety device will release the steam. The primary safety device acts as both an excess pressure
releasing device and a pressure controlling device.
b. Secondary Safety Device (Feature 2)
Your cooker is equipped with a secondary safety device. When pressure starts building inside the
cooker, the secondary safety device is pushed up and will rise above the top surface of the lid. This
indicates that your cooker is under pressure. Similarly, after cooker is taken out from the microwave
oven, the secondary safety device will drop when the pressure inside the cooker drops to almost zero,
giving you indication that you can safely open the cooker. Please see User Instructions (Point 9) on
how to check if pressure has dropped to zero.
If the primary safety device fails to function due to overload or blockage, the pressure inside goes
above the normal level and the secondary safety device will operate at around 6.4 Pounds/ sq
inch allowing excess steam to escape. If this also gets clogged the secondary safety device is
pushed out by excess pressure and the hole is exposed rapidly diffusing the steam. This may be
accompanied by foaming / frothing on the nature of ingredients.
c. Multifunctional Safety Lock (MFSL) (Features 3 to 6)
This device enables user to operate the cooker in complete safety in multiple ways:
• When the cooker is properly closed the device securely locks the lid once internal pressure builds
up (Lock). (Features 3).
• The MFSL is also a Zero Pressure Device (ZPD). (Features 4).
• If the device is improperly closed, the MFSL will not allow internal pressure to build up.
• The MFSL Lock will release only if the pressure inside the cooker falls to almost zero, and only
then the cooker can be opened.
• The MFSL works as a visual pressure indicator, it lets the user know that the cooker is still under
pressure (VPI). (Features 5).
• The MFSL also allows the user to release pressure quickly (Quick Release System, or QRS).
(Feature 6).
d. Mesh (Feature 7)
This device ensures the primary safety device does not get clogged. This cooker will not build
pressure if the mesh is not firmly fitted into the cooker.
