Opening safety:

-If the pressure cooker is under pressure, the release button (E) cannot be operated. Never open the pressure cooker by force. Above all, do not interfere with the pressure indicator (D).

Two safety devices against overpressure:

-First device: the safety valve (C) releases the pressure and steam escapes horizontally from the top of the lid - Fig.14

-Second device: the gasket (I) permits steam to escape vertically from the small hole located on the edge of the lid or along the side of the pot - Fig.15. Caution, this may extinguish the flame on a gas hob.

If one of the overpressure safety systems is triggered:• Turn off the heat source.• Leave the pressure cooker to cool completely.• Open the pressure cooker.

• Check and clean the operating valve (A) - Fig.13, the steam release outlet (B) - Fig.10, the safety valve (C) and the gasket (I). See drawing opposite.
