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.
Opening Security
If the cooker is under pressure, the unlocking
button will not work because the pressure indicator
pin locks the mechanism.
In this case, do not attempt to force open the lid,
instead turn the programme selector to
for total pressure release.
Watch the position of the pressure indicator. It
should be down in normal position in order to open
the lid.
Over Pressure Security
During operation, if the steam release becomes
blocked, the over pressure security devices come
into action:
First device, the safety valve releases the
pressure and the steam escapes from under the
control module.
Second device, steam flows from between the lid
and the pot.
If one of these security devices is set off:
Turn off the heat source.
Let the pressure cooker cool down.
Open the cooker.
Check and clean the operation valve, steam
release outlet, safety valve and seal.
