Safety Features

Your pressure cooker is provided with a number of
safety mechanisms:
• Closure safety:
- If the appliance is not properly closed, the pres-
sure indicator (D) cannot rise and therefore the
pressure cooker will never come up to pressure.
• Opening safety:
- While the pressure cooker is under pressure, the
opening knob cannot be activated. Never force
the pressure cooker open. Never tamper with the
pressure indicator. Always make sure that the
pressure inside the pressure cooker has been re-
leased.
• Two added safety features:
- First feature: the safety valve (C) releases pres-
sure and the steam will escape horizontally from
the top of the lid
- Second feature: the gasket (I) lets steam escape
vertically from the side of the lid
If one of the two added safety systems are triggered:
• Turn off the heat.
• Allow the pressure cooker to cool down completely.
• Open it.
• Check and clean the operating valve (A), the
operating valve seat and pipe (B), the safety valve
(C) and the gasket (I).
