Safety features

Your pressure cooker contains several safety features:

Safety When Opening:

− If your pressure cooker is under pressure, the manometric rod is in the upper locking
position, which prevents the cover from opening. Never try to force open your pressure
cooker.
− It is especially important not to apply pressure to the manometric rod.
− Ensure that the internal pressure has fallen (additional steam escaping from the safety
valve) prior to trying to open the cover.
Two Overpressure Safety Features:
− First device: the safety valve releases the pressure – see chapter on Cleaning and Main-
tenance, page 18.
− Second device : the joint let off steam on the back of the cover.
If one of the overpressure safety features is triggered:
• Turn off your appliance.
• Allow your appliance to completely cool down.
• Open it.
• Check and clean the safety valve, decompression ball and gasket. See chapter on Clea-
ning and Maintenance.
• If your appliance leaks or is no longer operational after having performed these checks
and cleaning, take it to an Authorised Service Centre.

Regulating your appliance:

The pressure can be regulated by switching the heating element on or off.
