SAFETY FEATURES
Your pressure cooker contains several safety features:
Safety When Opening:
- If your pressure cooker is under pressure, the manometric rod is in the upper locking position, which prevents the cover
from opening� Never try to force open your pressure cooker�
- It is especially important not to apply pressure to the manometric rod�
- Ensure that the internal pressure has fallen (additional steam escaping from the safety valve) prior to trying to open the
cover�
Two Overpressure Safety Features:
- First device: the safety valve releases the pressure – see chapter on Cleaning and Maintenance, page 28-33
- Second device: the sealing gasket lets the steam escape from the back of the lid
If one of the overpressure safety features is triggered:
Turn off your appliance�
Let your pressure cooker completely cool down�
Open it�
Check and clean the safety valve, decompression ball and gasket� See chapter on Cleaning and Maintenance�
If your product leaks or is no longer operational after having performed these checks and cleaning,
return it to a SEB authorised Service Centre�
Regulating your appliance:
The pressure is regulated by the heating element that automatically switch on or off to ensure the adapted pressure level�
To minimise the effects of thermal inertia and improve regulation accuracy, the decompression ball can be automatically
triggered to briefly release steam from time to time�
