PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS
1. If the safety valve does not rise, this may be
due to the fact that:
• the lid is not correctly fitted and therefore the safety
valve does not lock (close the lid correctly);
• the safety valve is misshapen;
• the strength of the heat source is too low and must
be increased;
• the joint is dirty, damaged or misshapen and must
be either cleaned or replaced;
• there is too little water in the pan (check the filling
quantity).
2. If steam is being released from underneath the
lid and not through the pressure release selector
valve, this may be due to the fact that:
• the lid is not correctly fitted and closed (close the
lid correctly);
• the joint is not properly fitted or is dirty, damaged
or misshapen and must be either cleaned or
replaced;
3. If you cannot easily open or close the lid, this
may be due to the fact that:
• the joint is not a genuine spare part and does not
adjust to the lid (only use genuine spare parts);
• the safety valve has not yet descended when ope-
ning the lid (wait until it descends completely);
• the safety valve is misshapen. To repair or replace
misshapen parts, contact an authorised service
centre.
CAUTION:
Only use genuine spare parts. If you cannot find
genuine spare parts to repair the cooker, contact
your supplier.
