-The jaws should be in contact with the lid edge. If this is not the case, then steam will escape from the pressure indicator and the pressure cooker will never come up to pressure.

•Opening safety:

-While the pressure cooker is under pressure, the opening knob cannot be actuated.

-Never force the pressure cooker open.-Never tamper with the pressure indicator.

-Always make sure that the pressure inside the pressure cooker has been released.

Always have your pressure cooker checked by a TEFAL Approved Service Centre after ten years of use.
