Safety Valves
There are seven safety devices installed in the pressure cooker to assure its reliability.
1. Lid Safety Device- The appliance will not start pressurizing until the lid is closed and locked
properly. The lid cannot be opened if the appliance is filled with pressure.
2. Pressure Control Device-The correct pressure level is automatically maintained during the
cooking cycle.
3. Pressure Limit Valve- The pressure limit valve will release pressure automatically when
the pressure inside exceeds the preset pressure.
4. Anti-Block Cover -Prevents any food material from blocking the pressure limit valve.
5. Pressure Relief Device- When the pressure cooker reaches the maximum allowable pres-
sure and temperature, the inner cooking container will move down until lid separates from the
sealant ring, releasing air pressure.
6. Thermostat-The power will automatically shut off when the unit's temperature reaches the
preset value, or if the pressure cooker is heating without any food inside.
7. Thermal Fuse- The circuit will be opened when the pressure cooker reaches the maxi-
mum temperature.
