TEFAL Safety Your Clipso pressure cooker is equipped with several safety devices, which guarantee operating security. Closing Security The jaws must be in contact with the edge of the pot. If this does not happen, steam will be released from the pressure indicator and the pressure cooker will not reach pressure.
The pressure indicator has lifted up and some steam still escapes from it: If you have a Clipso Control model or Clipso Vitamin (model with air release system) once the pressure indicator has moved up, air and steam are normally released during a certain time period (a few seconds to a few minutes).
