THE PRESTIGE SAFETY SYSTEM
Your Prestige Popular comes with a complete safety system comprising of three safety features.
1) The weight valve - more precision:
It is made to perfect precision. It operates when the inside pressure reaches
around 1 kg / sq.cm. and whistles, which are loud and clear. This weight valve
assembly comes with a weight, a vent tube and a nut.
2) Gasket Release System (GRS):
If the Vent Tube gets blocked and the weight valve does not function, a portion of
the gasket is pushed out through a slot (GRS - slot) in the lid releasing the excess
steam safely downwards. In case of 1.5 & 2 & 3 litre pressure cookers, the excess
steam is released through the top hole of the pressure cooker.
3) The Metallic Safety Plug (MSP):
If, for some reason, the Gasket Release System does not work, the Metallic Safety
Plug comes into operation. It contains a fusible alloy pellet that melts to let out
the steam.
With these special safety features, you can be sure that you will always be safe with
your Prestige Popular.
