Safety Valves - Russell Hobbs Classic Satin RHNPC400 Owner's Manual

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 manual 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 Pre s s u re Cooker Pan is under
p re s s u re or if all pre s s u re has been released from the inside of the
Pan. When the Pre s s u re Lift Pin is in the UP position, you will know the
P re s s u re Cooker Pan is pressurized. In this position you will not be able
to remove the Pre s s u re Cooker Lid. It also acts a Pre s s u re Relief
Valve, exhausting excess pre s s u re. The Pre s s u re 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 manual.)
