Your Quick and EasyPressure Cooker comes with 5
safety features :
A. Zero Pressure Device (ZPD)
B. The Pressure Regulator
C. The Gasket Release System (GRS)
D. Fusible Safety Device
E. 3 Way Safety Button.
A. Zero Pressure Device (ZPD)
For your safety, your Quick and Easy
pressure cooker has a Zero Pressure
Device(ZPD) on the lid, housed under
the lid handle. The ZPD will allow the
cooker to build up pressure only when
the cooker is completely closed and locked by turning
the 3 way safety button to align with
the“Close”indication. Similarly the cooker will not
open unless the pressure drops to zero and the 3 way
safety button is turned to align with the “Open”
indication.
B. The Pressure Regulator
The pressure regulator is a device which
operates when the pressure inside the
cooker reaches 12 lbs per sq. inch ( 0.85
kg / sq. cm ) As soon as the pressure
inside the cooker reaches the normal
cooking pressure, the pressure regulator releases the
steam with a hiss safely in one direction away from
you. For the normal cooking of food, 5 minutes of hiss
is adequate to complete the cooking. The pressure
regulator acts both as an excess pressure releasing
device and a pressure controlling device.
C. Gasket Release System (GRS)
This is a re-settable safety device. If the
pressure regulator fails to function due
to overload or blockage of the vent
tube, the pressure inside the cooker
goes above the normal level. At this
stage a portion of the gasket is pushed
