To ensure that your Pressure Cooker lasts as long as possible

•Avoid over-heating the pan when empty.

•Darkening and lines which may appear after long use do not matter.

•If the inside of your pan shows iridescent glints or white marks (scale), clean it with vinegar or with a special cleaning product for stainless steel.

To clean your Pressure Cooker if it has darkened

•Clean the pan with a special stainless steel cleaner sold in your TEFAL Approved Service Centre.

To change the gasket

•Make sure that you buy the correct gasket for your model.

•Soak it in soapy water for a few seconds, then put it in position, beginning with the two ends

-Fig 18

•Push the seal into its recess using both hands simultaneously - Fig 19

Complete this operation by placing the lid on the pan. Seal the lid by turning the locking button (at least two complete rotations).

•Never shorten the gasket.

Safety

Your pressure cooker is equipped with several safety devices, 2 of which are for overpressure:

•First device: the safety valve releases the pressure and steam escapes from under the module - Fig 20a

•Second device: steam flows from between the lid and the pot - Fig 20b

If one safety system is activated:

•Turn the heat source off.

•Let the pressure cooker cool down.

•Open it.

•Check and clean the operation valve, steam release outlet, safety valve and seal.
