Pressure Regulator Valve with Steam Vent Tube
This Valve serves as a manual pressure regulator. By adjusting this Lever you will be able to switch from
PRESSURE to STEAM to CLEAN or from PRESSURE to STEAM RELEASE to release pressure in short
bursts. This Pressure Regulator Valve has been factory calibrated to release steam from your Pressure Cooker when it reaches its factory determined maximum pressure capacity (15 psi).
Remove the Pressure Regulator Valve and rinse under lukewarm water for easy cleaning. (See Important Safety Information section of this Use and Care Guide for removal instructions.) If this Valve is worn it MUST be replaced.
CAUTION: Never disassemble Pressure Regulator Valve or clean the Steam Vent Tube when Pressure Cooker is in use.
Pressure Indicator Safety Valve with Pressure Lift Pin
This visual safety device indicates if the Pressure Cooker Pan is under pressure or if all pressure has been released from the inside of the Pan. When the Pressure Lift Pin is in the UP position, you will know the Pressure Cooker Pan is pressurized. In this position you will not be able to remove the Pressure Cooker Lid. It also acts a Pressure Relief Valve, exhausting excess pressure. The Pressure Lift Pin Gasket should fit snugly around the Pin.
If the Pressure Lift Pin is clogged or unclean, it may not function properly. If the Pressure Lift Pin does not drop when expected, gently slide the Lid Lock Button towards you to see if the Pressure Lift Pin drops. If it still does not drop, wait until all steam has been released.
If this Valve becomes clogged it can easily be cleaned by gently removing excess food particles from the Valve located on the underside of the Pressure Cooker Lid. (See Important Safety Information section of this Use and Care Guide.)
Safety Valves
When pressure builds, excess steam or pressure may begin to escape through these automatic Valves. This is normal and so is the audible hissing sound coming from these Valves.
If these Valves become clogged, they can easily be cleaned by gently removing excess food particles from the Valves located on the underside of the Pressure Cooker Lid. (See Important Safety Information section of this Use and Care Guide.)
