TEFAL Safety
Your Clipso pressure cooker is equipped with several safety devices, which guarantee operating security.
Closing Security
■ The jaws must be in contact with the edge of the pot. If this does not happen, steam will be released from the pressure indicator and the pressure cooker will not reach pressure.
Opening Security
■If the cooker is under pressure, the unlocking
button will not work because the pressure indicator pin locks the mechanism.
■ In this case, do not attempt to force open the lid,
instead turn the programme selector to 
and wait for total pressure release.
■ Watch the position of the pressure indicator. It should be down in normal position in order to open the lid.
Over Pressure Security
■ During operation, if the steam release becomes blocked, the over pressure security devices come into action:
■ First device, the safety valve releases the pressure and the steam escapes from under the control module.
■Second device, steam flows from between the lid
and the pot.
If one of these security devices is set off:
■Turn off the heat source.
■ Let the pressure cooker cool down.
■Open the cooker.
■Check and clean the operation valve, steam release outlet, safety valve and seal.
