EN
You must have your pressure cooker checked in a TEFAL Approved Service Centre after 10 years of use. Contact the helpline - see contact list.
The pressure indicator (E) prevents you from opening the pressure cooker if it is still under pressure.
The pressure indicator (E) prevents the pressure cooker from increasing in pressure if it is not properly closed.
Safety
Your pressure cooker is fitted with several safety devices:
•Closing safety:
-The jaws must be in contact with the rim of the lid. If this is not the case, there is steam leakage from the pressure indicator and the pressure cooker will not build up pressure.
•Opening safety:
-If the pressure cooker is under pressure, the opening button cannot be pressed.
-Never try to force the pressure cooker open.
-Above all do not interfere with the pressure indicator.
-Make sure that the internal pressure has fallen.
•Two safety devices operate to prevent overpres- sure:
-First device: the safety valve (F) releases the pressure and steam escapes - fig. 19.
-Second device: the seal allows steam to escape from between the lid and the pan - fig. 20.
If one of the overpressure safety systems is triggered:
•Turn off the heat source.
•Let the pressure cooker cool down completely.
•Open it (refer to section “Opening”).
•Check and clean the operating valve (A), the steam release outlet (C), the safety valve (F) and the seal (G).
•If, after these checks and cleaning, your product leaks or no longer works, take it to a TEFAL Approved Service Centre. Contact the Customer Relations Helpline - see contact list.
