Opening safely

•If your pressure cooker is pressurised, the opening/closing (E) handle cannot be operated because the mechanism is locked by the pressure indicator.

•Never try to force open your pressure cooker. •Do not interfere with the pressure indicator (D). •Make sure that the internal pressure has fallen. •If you move the open/close handle (E) to a vertical position, while the pressure cooker is still pressurized you cannot open it.

•Check that the pressure setting (F) is set to and wait until the pressure indicator (D) is at the low setting.

Two high pressure safety systems

•First device: the safety valve (Q) releases the pressure and steam escapes under the control module - Fig. 18.

•Second device: the seal releases steam between the lid and the pan - Fig. 19.

If one of the high pressure safety systems is triggered:

•Turn off the heat source.

•Let your pressure cooker cool completely. •Open it.

•Check and clean the operating valve (P), the steam release outlet (A), the safety valve (Q) and the seal (G).

•If, after checking and cleaning, your product leaks or does not work, call our Customer Relations Helplne.
