TRAMONTINA PRESSURE COOKER |
USER MANUAL

• Check to make sure the O-ring is on the groove. Do not use the cooker if the O-ring is
not in the correct position (see Figure 3).
• Check to make sure that the indicator rod can move freely by pushing it upwards.
If it springs back easily, it will function properly. Remove the pressure regulator, make
sure that the steam outlet is not blocked.
• You should be able to look through the steam outlet if it is clear. Clean the anti-
clogging nut and safety valve with warm water (see Figure 4).
• Ensure that the O-ring for the safety valve is clean and not damaged.
Check to see that the rubber gasket is correctly in place in the lid.
• Always add enough liquid for steam to form and make sure that the liquid in the
pressure cooker does not evaporate completely.
• Never allow the cooker to ‘cook until dry’, as the resulting overheating could damage
the cooker (e.g. melt the base or damage the safety mechanisms) and the heat source.
• In the case of overheating, never remove the cooker from the heat source. Simply turn
off the heat source and let the cooker cool down until completely cold.
