9. Safety tips
1. WARNING:
To avoid accidents, never open your TRAMONTINA
PRESSURE COOKER without first releasing all the pressure inside.
2.
When adding food and water, never exceed the maximum level
indicated on the inner wall of the pot.
3.
Due to the condensation of excess steam, water drops might form
on the lid and the handle.
4.
When the VANCOUVER or
VANCOUVER SPOT PRESSURE COOKER
starts working, it is normal for steam
or water droplets to escape through
the internal closing Valve of the upper
handle. After a few moments, the
pressure regulator will start working.
5.
Do not bang the edge of your pressure cooker with kitchen utensils,
because this will damage the ceramic coating and may compromise its
perfect seal.
6.
The cooker should never be used without water, because this could
damage the silicone ring and the safety valves may rupture. Moreover,
overheating may cause warping at the bottom of the pot, altering its
functioning. We do not recommend using it in these conditions.
7.
When removing the pot from the heat, do not force the lid to open.
Check the internal pressure by lifting the pressure regulator (pressure
release) with the aid of a fork.
8.
When storing your pressure cooker, place the lid upside down on
the pot. Do not store with the lid closed.
9.
Do not rub the locking tabs on the lid excessively to avoid wearing
them out
.
10.
The handles might come loose over time due to normal expansion
of materials. Retighten them sufficiently with a cross-head
screwdriver, without force.
11.
Do not use the cooker if any parts are damaged.
12.
With the lid in position for use, press
the handle trigger (bottom) back so that
the handle’s internal valve pin is turned
down in rest position. This will ensure
that the lid does not lock when closing
the cooker
.
13.
Avoid accidents by using Tramontina original parts when replacing
valves and other parts of your cooker. The use of non-original parts
or parts for other models will result in loss of the warranty as well
as causing the product to function incorrectly, which can result in
accidents.
14.
The cooker should not be used on a countertop burner or hot plate.
