release button (E) cannot be operated. Never
open the pressure cooker by force. Above all, do
not interfere with the pressure indicator

• Two safety devices against overpressure:
- First device: the safety valve (C) releases the
pressure and steam escapes horizontally from
the top of the lid

- Second device: the gasket (I) permits steam to
escape vertically from the small hole located on
the edge of the lid or along the side of the pot
