Safety
Your pressure cooker is fitted with several safety
devices:
•
Closing safety:
- The jaws must be in contact with the edge of
the lid
- fig. 5
. Otherwise, there is a steam leak
in the pressure indicator
(G)
and the pressure
cooker cannot be put under pressure.
•
Opening safety:
- If the pressure cooker is under pressure, the
opening button cannot be pressed.
- Never try to force the pressure cooker open.
- Above all do not touch the pressure indicator.
- Make sure that the interior pressure has fallen.
•
Two safety devices against overpressure:
- First device: the safety valve
(F)
releases the
pressure
- fig. 19
.
- Second device: the seal
(H)
allows steam to
escape from between the lid and the pan
- fig. 20.
For a longer
pressure cooker life,
do not overheat
your pressure
cooker pan when it
is empty.
Never use a sharp
or pointed object to
do this.
You must have your
pressure cooker
checked in a T-FAL
Approved Service
Center after 10 years
of use.
