Safety
Your pressure cooker is provided with a number of safety me-
chanisms:
•
Closure safety:
- If the appliance is not properly closed, the pressure in-
dicator cannot rise and therefore the pressure cooker
will never come up to pressure.
•
Opening safety:
- While the pressure cooker is under pressure, the ope-
ning knob cannot be activated. Never force the pres-
sure cooker open. Never tamper with the pressure
indicator. Always make sure that the pressure inside
the pressure cooker has been released.
• Two excess pressure safety features:
- First feature: the safety valve
(C)
releases pressure and
the steam will escape horizontally from the top of the lid
- Fig 13
- Second feature: the seal
(I)
lets steam escape vertically
from the side of the lid
- Fig 14
If one of the two excess pressure safety systems is triggered:
• Turn off the heat.
• Allow the pressure cooker to cool down completely.
• Open it.
• Check and clean the operating valve
(A)
, the operating
valve seat and pipe
(B)
, the safety valve
(C)
and the seal
(I)
.
Never use a cutting or
pointed object to do
this, you can use a cot-
ton bud.
Always have your pres-
sure cooker checked by
a TEFAL Approved Ser-
vice Centre after ten
years of use.
