• Pressure-limiting valve (fig.5.2): If the pressure inside is arriving at a regular working level (80Kpa), the pressure-limiting
valve will release extra steam violently.
• Sealing ring/Safety window (fig.5.3): When the pressure-limiting valve and the safely open-preventing valve are invalid
or the pressure cooker has been left unattended for a long time on a working cook zone, the inside pressure is increasing
far over the regular working level of 80 Kpa. The sealing ring (fig. 1.9) will be squeezed out of the safety window
(fig.5.3) to guarantee a safe decompression of the pressure cooker.
• Additionally, the Pressure Indicator (fig.5.4) will inform about the pressure level inside and set the user’s heart at rest
(Fig.6).
• When the indicator goes up and only the blue level is visible, it means that the working pressure inside is normal.
• When the indicator shows the red level too, it means that the working pressure is not normal anymore.
• Pressure shall not rise until the cover is correctly closed.
• Following signs can indicate that the cover is not correctly closed:
□ steam will escape from the rim
□ it will take very long before the safely open-preventing valve (fig.5.1) will rise
4 GETTING STARTED AND HOW TO COOK
• Before using the pressure cooker for the first time, remove all labels! Wash the pot, cover and rubber ring with a mild
detergent, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Add water (1/2 volume) and heat 30mins under pressure before first use following the regular working procedure 4.2.
Be sure water is the only content. This will clean the pressure pot and remove all smelling.
