8. Once all the steam has escaped and the valve
rod has been released, the rod plate should be
pushed to the end by hand. Open the cover in a
counter clockwise direction. If the indicating valve
has not dropped it means that there is still some
pressure inside the cooker, and to ensure your
safety, the cover cannot be opened. Do not try
to force it open, turn the pressure limiting valve
hook to the position bettween two triangle marks
slowly, let the steam escape completely.
If the indicating valve is still not dropped just
press the indicating valve downwards with a
needle or cocktail stick, let the remaining steam
escape completely and then open the cover as in
Fig 6 and 7.
9. Maintenance of the blockade guard: In order to
ensure the clear hole of the blockade guard and
hygiene of the cooker, the blockade guard should
be washed after every use. Turn the blockade
guard counter clockwise by 60%, remove and
wash. To replace put it back clockwise, as Fig 8.
WORKING PRINCIPLE
• In the process of heating, the cooker is sealed
by a rubber ring. The pressure in the cooker
increases gradually and the water reaches
increased boiling point, accordingly.
• When the pressure in the cooker exceeds the
specified limit, the pressure limiting valve rises
up. Steam then escapes from the regulator,
keeping the temperature and pressure inside
the cooker at a certain level.
• If the vent is blocked by food, a safety valve
will open automatically for safety purposes.
To ensure your safety and in the event that
the cover has not been closed correctly, the
pressure in the cooker cannot exceed 5kpa.
(kpa = Kilopascal, a unit of pressure. It is a
measure of force per unit area, defined as
one newton per square metre).
