through the side vent on the lid, which will have a
partially displaced Seal Ring. Turn off the heat and after
the pressure is fully released, open the lid and clean the
Pressure Regulator and Safety Valve. When the lateral
safety system is triggered, this indicates that the seal
ring needs to be replaced. For replacement, contact
the nearest Tramontina unit at one of the addresses
found on the website
(www.tramontina.com.br).
* If the Safety Valve or the Lateral Safety System
starts operating, liquid and food will escape from
inside the cooker.
4. SAFETY LOCK BUTTON:
If the cooker is not
properly closed, this button will prevent the build-
up of internal pressure. However, when the cooker
is properly closed, this valve will prevent the lid
from being opened when there is internal pressure.
Open the lid only if you are sure that there is an
absence of internal pressure. To open, turn the lid
counterclockwise until the arrow on the lid is aligned
with the arrow on the handle.
NOTE: Never use force to open your pot. It should
open with minimal effort. When it does not, this
indicates that there may still be internal pressure.
6. How to safely use your pressure cooker
• Before closing the cooker, be sure there is enough
liquid to produce steam when heated (see the table for
food and liquid quantities). However, never exceed the
maximum limit indicated on the cooker, considering
food and water.
(fig. 9)
• When making soup or broth, do not fill the pot more than halfway with
food and water. Overfilling the pressure cooker with food can lead to the
obstruction of valves due to broth leaking through the working valve, which
can compromise the performance of the cooker.

• After each use, make sure the pressure regulator and steam outlet pin are
unclogged. If they are not, clean as described in the section below:
• Take the lid off your pressure cooker, remove the Pressure Regulator and place
the lid against the light to check whether the Steam Outlet Pin is unclogged. If
