ROYAL PRESTIGE
PRESSURE COOKERS®
Safety Features
1. CLOSING SAFETY
The special locking mechanism allows pressure-cooking
only if the switch is properly turned to the “pressure cooker
locked” position.
2. COOKING SAFETY
As pressure builds, the indicator automatically rises so that
it keeps the cover from opening until pressure is reduced.
Do not attempt to force the pressure cooker open when
the indicator has risen.
3. SAFETY VALVE
If the regulator valve is blocked and pressure continues to
rise, the safety valve will release excess steam and reduce the
pressure inside the cooker. In this event, immediately turn off the
heat source and wait for the steam to stop. The pressure cooker
must be cooled down until the indicator pin goes down. When
the indicator pin has gone down, you will be able to open your
pressure cooker safely. Before reusing your pressure cooker,
make sure the safety devices are unobstructed (refer to the
maintenance section).
4. PRESSURE RELEASE WINDOW
If in the very unlikely event the safety valve fails to function,
a pressure release window on the side of the cover will
automatically activate to safely vent the steam.
In this case
do not reuse your pressure cooker until you have had it
checked by the Royal Prestige Service Center.
