ADVANCED STRUCTURE AND SAFETY FEATURES
Pressure limiting safety device
When the pressure in the inner pot is greater than the maximum working pressure, the
pressure limiting valve will expel the extra pressure automatically.
Safety relief device
If the pressure limiting device loses efficacy or does not work for any other reason, the
safety relief device will automatically exhaust the extra pressure in order to avoid a
hazardous situation. (If this should happen, immediately disconnect your appliance, wait
for it to cool down and take it to the nearest authorised service centre for repair).
Temperature limiting safety device
If the inner pot temperature exceeds the limited working temperature, the temperature
limiting device will automatically shut down the cooker until it cools down. Once cool, it
will resume working.
Over temperature safety device
If the inner pot temperature exceeds the temperature limit, the over temperature safety
device will automatically cut off the cooker’s power supply. (If this should happen,
immediately disconnect your appliance, wait for it to cool down and take it to the
nearest authorised service centre for repair).
