Safety Devices
There are seven safety devices installed in the
pressure cooker to assure its reliability and safety.
1. Open-and-Close Lid Safety Device
The appliance will not start pressurizing until
the lid is closed and locked properly.
The lid cannot be opened when the
appliance pressurizing.
2. Pressure Control Device
The correct pressure level is automatically
maintained during the cooking cycle.
3. Pressure Limit Valve
The pressure limit valve will release steam
pressure automatically when the pressure
inside exceeds the preset pressure.
4. Anti-Block Cover
Prevents any food material from blocking the
pressure limit valve
5. Pressure Relief Device
When the pressure cooker reaches
the maximum allowable pressure and
temperature, the cooking pot will move
down until lid separates from the sealing ring,
releasing steam pressure.

6. Thermostat

The power will automatically switch off when
appliance has reached peak temperature or
heating up without food in cooking pot and
continues to cycle On /Off to maintain peak
temperature.

7. Thermal Fuse

In the unlikely event of thermostat failure,
where temperature continues to rise beyond
peak preset temperature and exceeding the
temperature rating of the thermal fuse, the
fuse will open circuit, rendering the appliance
inoperable (Cannot be reset).
8. Magnetic Power Control Switch
The pressure cooker has a built-in magnetic
power control switch to activate /deactivate
power to heating element when lid is fully
locked or turned to unlock for pressure
